Demo-Update!
Finally! The demo update!
We have decided to end the revision of the demo at this point! The creation and improvement of the demo has brought us a lot further. We were able to identify the main problems (e.g. performance) and were able to implement and improve many things that will save us a lot of rework for further development.
A big point that comes next is to create a more suitable environment. In the demo there are still some placeholder assets in use and we also need to adjust a few things for performance. First of all the trees. This means a complete overhaul of the environment and the first test runs are very promising.
Unfortunately, thanks to Corona, we were still a bit stuck in the progress, so we'll refrain from making any more improvements to the demo. Otherwise we'll probably never really get any further :D.
Currently, we are also trying to write more information on our Patreon page. A lot of it will be more "behind the scenes", the story around the characters and hyldena and also a bit more personal.
