Fellow Entrepreneurs! 👋

A huge thank you for diving into the extended NextFest demo—it’s been amazing watching your businesses thrive in Cleveland, Ohio!

Thanks to your feedback, we have been able to make lots of improvements to the game ahead of its release later this quarter. Because of this, we feel the demo no longer reflects the final version, so we've made the decision to take down the demo - but don't worry, you've still got until midnight on Sunday 6th April to enjoy it before it's gone!

We'll be back in a few weeks with an official release date and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on - and of course seeing everyone on release day and beyond! 🚀

Aspiring entrepreneurs, our business guru, Frank, has just informed me we’ve gone global! The Rise of Industry 2 demo can now be played in the following languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Chinese.

This update also contains fixes to several bugs reported by you, the players! Thank you for your continued support.
