Big thanks to everyone that played the demo last week – you’ve helped us iron it out as much as possible at this moment.

CHANGELOG

• Fixed buildings not recognizing their connectivity to the town center bug
  
• Fixed tractor animations on GrainField buildings

• Added Swedish localization
  
• Fixed a number of errors in the localized texts
  
• fixed several errors with local traffic on some of the new building models
  

We will continue to monitor all the feedback during Next Fest and prepare updates to current version as well as lay the groundwork for more extensive upgrades that will come later as development continues (mainly heavier optimizations that need a bit more time).
Meanwhile – enjoy Next Fest, there will be plenty of awesome games showcased there. Make your selection and let’s celebrate games!

As we're working on next bigger patch for Kaiserpunk demo, we've identified a couple of additional issues that could block the progression of hideout quests, as well as cause halt in some cutscenes.

As we really want all of you to have a chance to go through the entire demo, we're releasing these fixes immediately ahead of next planned update.

Apologies to players that experienced inconvenience because of this!

CHANGELOG

• fixed the air raid cutscene. the blimps no longer stop mid-air
  
• fixed several issues in the Local hideouts story that could prevent it from resolving
  
• fixed a bunch of localization issues

And once again many thanks for trying Kaiserpunk and sharing your honest opinions. Aslo many thanks to everyone that provided us with log and save files – it helped a lot in tracking issues!
