major update

Beyond Yardwork Simulator Demo · published

Hey guys! It’s officially been a month since the demo dropped on Steam.

First off, a massive thank you for all the kind words, positive reviews, and constructive criticism. Seriously, your feedback gives me a huge boost and helps me make the game better with every single update.

If you haven't added the game to your Wishlist yet, please consider doing so - it helps me out a ton.

I haven't been slacking off this past month either. I've already rolled out 3 patches for the demo based on your feedback, adding new features and fixing bugs. Here’s the full breakdown of what’s changed:

  • Improved lawnmower handling – easier turning and added the ability to turn in place

  • Improved optimization – eliminated minor lag during mowing by moving progress calculation to asynchronous execution

  • Added new dirt material

  • Added birds

  • Added mowing sound to the lawnmower

  • Added 2K resolution support

  • Fixed minor resolution setting issues and set Windowed Fullscreen as default

  • Reduced camera motion blur

  • Changed default interaction from E to LMB

  • Rebuilt sorting controls

  • Decreased music volume in the demo ending trailer

  • Fixed an issue where the menu could be opened during the demo ending trailer

  • Fixed several minor bugs

Drop all your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions in the discussion section below this post. I read absolutely everything and try to fix and implement things step by step.

Thanks again for all the support and for playing the demo. Stay tuned, because I'll be announcing the next big steps very soon!
