Greetings Hunters!
In this update we have been focused on bug fixes and improvements ahead of Steam Nextfest.
As we get closer to launch, expect fewer new features and content to be added to the demo. We're saving all the good stuff for our Early Access release this summer!
If you'd like a sneak peak of what to expect in early access, keep an eye on the Steam Forums and Discord Channel where we will be inviting players to take part in some pre-release playtest sessions!
