Here's the patch notes for the latest demo update (1f) - as I continue to work on the main game and things get updated, fixed or adjusted, I will update the demo as necessary. Thanks again to everyone that played so far and especially to those that provided invaluable feedback, which continues to shape development, and helps me understand what needs to be updated, or fixed.
