[p]Fellow merchants! 
[/p][p]We’re happy to announce that the update to the Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault demo is live!
[/p][p]It brings improved keyboard & mouse support - including smoother inventory management and better UI navigation. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a step forward, and the whole team is already hard at work on more improvements across all control schemes.

[/p][p]
Thank you so much for playing the demo and sharing your thoughts. With Moonlighter 2 trending on Steam Next Fest, we’re thrilled to see so many of you stepping into the world of Tresna. But what’s truly overwhelming is the volume and care behind your feedback. From Discord to Steam to socials - now that we’re listening and are taking your comments seriously.
[/p][p]We know the demo isn’t flawless. You’ve flagged issues - from black screens to performance hiccups - and we want to assure you those are high on our list. Fixes are in progress. We won’t be able to address everything before the end of Next Fest, but this is just the beginning. This is the first demo of Moonlighter 2, and our journey together is far from over.
[/p][p]We’re building this game alongside you, and we’re committed to shaping it into something we can all be proud of.[/p][p][/p][h3]Your feedback is already helping.
[/h3][p]Last update, we focused on the shop system - what’s new, what’s changed, and why. We’ve received a flood of insights from both returning Moonlighter 1 players and newcomers alike, and we’re so grateful for your honesty. If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, please do! We’re especially keen to hear more about how the shop feels and what could make it more engaging, strategic, or satisfying.
