Hey Goblins!
It's been a while since our last demo update... so we thought we'd update it with some of the new additions we've been crafting, alongside gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and more!
To start off, we've added our new Staffhub into the demo, which means no more creating a new lobby after cleaning up a level! You can now meet in this shared Staffhub, which allows you to prepare together, select through our demo levels, and like any Staff Room... hang out with cleaning colleagues! 🛋️🧹
Alongside this, we'd like to highlight the addition of third-person camera mode to view your goblin character in all its glory and gameplay improvements, like overhauling of our Mana System for restoring objects on your cleanup adventures. 🔮
Our demo update brings more improvements and even new enemies to encounter through the dungeons... which you can read more about in our detailed patch notes below: 👇
🧹 Goblin Cleanup - Demo Update - Patch Notes 🧹
✨ Highlights:
- 🆕 Staffhub: You can now stay in the lobby with your coworkers after finishing a level to start another one together.
- 🆕 Third Person View: Switch between first and third person anytime! There's also a freelook mode to admire your goblin in detail.
🎮 Gameplay & Improvements:

- Key Rebinding (keyboard only)

- Restorables: You can no longer place a restorative in the wrong type, and active restorables are now highlighted.
