[p]Hey Survivors,[/p][p]We’re excited to share a meaningful update ANGST will be playable in Japanese![/p][p]This translation was made possible thanks to the incredible help of our community, friends, and a bit of AI support.

It might not be perfect just yet, so if you're playing in Japanese and notice anything off, please let us know.

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]What a week! The ANGST demo is finally out there, and you’re playing it. Watching streams, reading comments, and seeing people explore The Hopeward Hollow for the first time has been surreal.[/p][p]We just want to say thank you!
Your feedback has been great. We’ve been reading every post, every message, and every review, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support. It’s honestly humbling to see so many people care about this strange, cold world we’ve built.[/p][p][/p][p]Below is a quick overview of what we’ve gathered from your feedback so far and what we’re already addressing for the full version of the game:[/p]

• [p]Localizations in 9 languages[/p]
• [p]Storage balance – you’ll be able to stack more[/p]
• [p]Tool durability and difficulty tuning – smoother progression and more forgiving balance[/p]
• [p]Combat – improvements coming[/p]
• [p]Objectives – displayed directly on-screen to make the flow clearer[/p]
• [p]Resource persistence – the items stored in the backpack will be dropped after death to be found later, and resources will slowly respawn over time[/p]
• [p]Widescreen / ultrawide monitor support (and overall resolution fixes)[/p]
• [p]Settings menu – yes, it’s coming![/p]

[p][/p][p]We are looking into:[/p]

• [p]Key binding options[/p]
• [p]Camera improvements[/p]

[p][/p][h3]NOTE! The above is based only on your feedback from the demo. The full version of ANGST will include much more, such as:[/h3][h3]* a big map[/h3][h3]* many more story characters[/h3][h3]* many more resources and crafts[/h3][h3]* …and loads of other improvements all over![/h3][p][/p][p]A few of you shared great suggestions that we thought might be worth clarifying or expanding on. Here are some tips:[/p]

• [p]Fire inside the house: in the full game, try repairing the stove in any of the cabins you find on the map = Stay warm and cook indoors.[/p]
• [p]Longer-lasting fires: in the full game, you’ll unlock crafts for more advanced campfires that burn longer and provide better heat.[/p]
• [p]Waypoints and navigation: by placing a waypoint on the map, you enable a subtle compass next to the map button on the main screen, pointing toward your active waypoint.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We’re a small team, but we’re doing everything we can to make the full release worth the wait. Your feedback keeps us grounded and motivated! If you haven’t yet, please consider leaving a review or adding the full game to your wishlist.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you again for being part of this journey.
Stay warm out there.[/p][p]The ANGST Team[/p]

[p]It’s finally here! We’re thrilled to announce that the ANGST public demo is officially available, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you![/p][p][/p][p]A Long Journey[/p][p]It’s been quite the adventure getting here.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and launching this public demo is a huge milestone for us.[/p][p][/p][p]Your First Taste of ANGST[/p][p]The demo features a slice of the game’s core mechanics and narrative. We estimate 1-2 hours of playtime, providing a comprehensive introduction to the systems and world we’ve developed.[/p][p]The version consists of only a sample of quests, a limited world map and only a few crafting blueprints unlocked - more to come in the full version.[/p][p].....and, check out ANGST with a game controller or on Steam Deck - it plays great![/p][p][/p][p]Also, please remember, that we are still working on ANGST, and many improvements will still be implemented for the final release of the game![/p][p][/p][p]We Want to Hear From You![/p][p]This demo is for you, and we want your feedback. Please jump in, experience ANGST, and let us know what you think. What works? What could be better? Your insights will directly help us as we continue toward the full release.[/p][p][/p][p]Important Note:[/p][p]The demo is a work-in-progress version of the game. It’s not final, and it’s far from complete. Expect bugs, maaaybe a rare crash, and a few rough edges. That’s part of the journey, and your feedback will help us shape what comes next.[/p][p][/p][p]What’s Next?[/p][p]Download the demo now, have fun exploring ANGST, and thank you for your support![/p][p]And if you haven’t already, please wishlist and follow ANGST on Steam.[/p][p][/p][p]Join our discord: https://discord.gg/9HwDt3vj
