Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel - News update

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]Quick heads-up about how builds will be handled going forward for Under a Desert Sun.[/p][p]I’m moving toward a clear separation between the public Demo and the active Beta / Early Access builds.[/p][p]Right now, the demo classes aren’t entirely complete anymore, but unfinished content can’t be reached during normal play. As development ramps up, maintaining both a special demo build and a fast-moving beta build is becoming increasingly difficult.[/p][p]What’s going to change:[/p]

• [p]The public demo will receive one final cleanup and polish pass, then be locked as a stable demo build.[/p]
• [p]The demo will return to normal progression rules — meaning you won’t be able to access all class cards or most skills anymore like during Next Fest.[/p]
• [p]The Beta / Early Access builds will continue independently, with ongoing changes, new content, balance tweaks, and unfinished systems.[/p]

[p]For Next Fest, it made sense to let players reach most skills quickly. For a long-term public demo, however, that approach no longer represents the intended experience.[/p][p]The goal is simple:[/p]

• [p]The demo becomes a polished, representative slice of the game.[/p]
• [p]Early Access is where active development, iteration, and experimentation happen.[/p]

[p]Once the final demo build is live, it will be clearly separated from the beta/EA branch so expectations are transparent.[/p][p]As always, thanks a lot for playing, testing, and sharing feedback — it genuinely helps shape the game.[/p][p]If you want to follow development or give feedback:[/p]
