DEVELOPERS NOTE

Hello OrphiTech Employees!Here we are already with the first milestone demo version update! 6 weeks have passed in the blink of an eye - but we have some juicy updates and additions to talk about.This update has been focussed heavily on user experience and interface updates. For veterans it may take a short while to get used to some updated controls or functions, but we feel these vastly improve the experience. We have not forgotten about other additions too though - new trinkets, floppy disk pool changes, lore, and more are also all here.Join us over on discord to let us know what you think, or leave a review on the demo if you are having a great time to let other players know!The game would be nothing without you, so please continue to reach out to us, engage, and give us your feedback. It is crucial to the ongoing positive development of a game that we all love.Let's get into the details...
