[h2]Hello, Dinovanians![/h2]

The second update for the Primal Planet demo is live, and it’s packed with improvements, new features, and some much-needed bug fixes. Thank you for all your feedback, it’s been a great help in making the game better! Let’s dive into what’s new:

[h3]🌟 Add-Ons[/h3]
🐠 A little more variety of small fish to bring life to the waters
🌳 Rare Spirit Trees that grant a Skill Point (there are 2 in the demo, can you find them both?)
🎵 New music tracks for certain intense parts

[h3]🛠️ Improvements[/h3]
💾 Permanent save function - finally, your progress is here to stay
🌪️ Walljumping has been fine-tuned for a smoother experience
🏃 Roll-jump momentum now carries through the entire jump
📜 Polish and Spanish translations have been added, and Finnish translation has been improved (more languages on the way)

[h3]🐛 Bug Fixes[/h3]
🧱 No more roll-jumping into walls and getting stuck
❌ Fixed the exploit allowing walljumping straight up due to "coyote time"
🤝 Co-op backgrounds now display properly at the edges when the camera zooms out
⚡ Prevented barriers from going into a flashing loop after being hit. I couldn’t fully reproduce this bug, but I believe I’ve addressed the root cause. Let me know if it still happens!

[h3]🌐 Remote Play Together[/h3]
I’ve enabled Remote Play Together for the demo! Some of you asked about it, so I tested it with a friend, and it works great. You can even cast it to your phone and use Steam’s virtual controller! 😊

As always, thank you for playing and for all your feedback, it makes a huge difference! If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to share them. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this update!

[h2]Hello, Dinovanians![/h2]

A new version of the demo is live! I wanted to address a few issues that needed immediate attention. Hopefully, this update fixes them without causing a bunch of new ones 😜

Thank you so much for all your feedback so far, it’s been incredibly helpful in improving the game!

[h3]🛠️ Patch Notes[/h3]
Infinite death loop: Fixed a bug where getting hurt while activating a campfire could trap you in an endless loop of doom.
Pause menu chaos: Resolved an issue where pressing "Escape" to exit campfire/hut menus triggered the pause menu instead.
Invisible enemy bug: Attempted a fix for flying enemies getting stuck in a loop. I couldn’t reproduce the issue myself, so this one’s still under observation. If you encounter it, please share details!

[h3]🐞 Known Issues[/h3]
The control setup can sometimes go haywire. Until I have a permanent fix, you can reset controls by going to Pause > Settings > Controls > Reset Controls.

Thanks again for playing and for all the feedback, it makes the game better every day. Let me know if you run into anything else!
