Hello Tree Victims,
These past few weeks we continued polishing the Steam demo, resulting in the following quality of life changes and adjustments (If you played recently, you may have already seen them):
Timer
Death Counter
A new checkpoint near the end of level 1
Glasses of any kind (if you're wearing them) now fly off your face as you perish
Miscellaneous trap adjustments and bug fixes
A few more character creator options
The timer and death counter have been our most requested features, and we’ve finally added them. They will appear at the end of a run, as well as on the HUD if you enable them from the Settings menu.
There was a large stretch of the first level that had no checkpoint between the one on the hill and the end of the level. Now we’ve added an additional checkpoint just before the tree-for-fall. Of course, while we want to make your lives easier, the trees still hate you, so there are a few more traps to offset any mercy.
This is likely the last major demo update. Although we will still fix any problematic bugs that might appear, this is intended to be the final form of the demo, with any additional major updates saved for the full release.
Next Fest is already halfway through, but with the weekend still ahead we wanted to share our excitement to be participating. Trees Hate You even got featured in the official Next Fest trailer!
Between the recent updates and the Next Fest event, this is a great week to suffer through the demo, or convince a friend or family member to try it so you can laugh at their pain.
