Hi everyone!
I have worked on a minor update on the demo to make the wood chopping experience a bit more smooth and a few additional QoLs.
Highlights:
Updated some translations to make a bit more sense. Specifically "Axes" was being translated as "Axis" and "Logs" were being translated as "System logs" or "Records". Still other languages to tackle (looking at you Russian and Chinese).
Rerolls can now be bought, giving gold an additional purpose. I'll be keeping an eye on feedback to see if the initial cost and cost function needs to be tuned. Free rerolls will be used first if bought within the Skill Tree, then further rerolls are purchasable, so go out spend that hard earned gold to get the exact upgrades to further your chopping experience.
I have updated the upgrade selection panel to now allow users to use their keyboard to select upgrades. Use the arrow keys (or a/d) to move through the upgrades, then press enter to select. Makes it a bit better experience to not have to actively switch to the mouse mid run especially with the number of upgrades that you can get by the end of the demo. I haven't touched any other keyboard navigation yet, but that is on the to-do lost.
The Discord link has been fixed. I must have copied the link when there was a 7 day expiration (rookie mistake), so hopefully we start seeing more people join the discord and chat about bugs or future possible upgrades you would like to see!
Finally I did cave, and I have included the second character for purchase in the demo. Let's hear it for the Goblin! Increased speed and a gold multiplier, whats not to love?
Thanks everyone who has played the demo so far and provided feedback to help make the game better!
