Notice regarding Demo versions
Demo versions I have decided to make the currently available demo version (0.4) the final one before the release of the full game. Shortly before release I plan to provide a final demo version that would allow progress up until the end of the first 'Cycle' (51 weeks in game, so around 30% of the game's total length). Reasoning The reason for focusing on final release instead of demo version is to speed up the development (not having to focus on bugfix/polishing for each demo version). Instead, I can add all content and then bugfix it all at once. Current progress Since last demo version released I have been able to implement the content that was planned for version 0.5 (Anima questline). At current pace, I should be able to meet the predicted release date (Q1 of 2026), but I won't hesitate to delay the release if I deem it necessary to provide a fully polished product.Read full article on Community Announcements (Jackpod)Patch NotesOfficial
Demo 0.4 Patch Notes
A massive update to the demo is live. It includes the following changes: Overall a lot of improvement to existing content, as well al added new content (items, techniques, enemies, areas, quests, improvements). Added Ignis quest line (consists of 3 missions, 1 in each cycle, each comes with a new and unique area). New 'energy' system: passive power-ups that are unlocked with main story progression. Only 1 of 7 can be active (with this, all planned gameplay systems have been implemented). New 'shop' functionality (and added a shop in Trimvine). Added new Ranged weapon class: Bow. Rebalanced all stats and balance on items, passives, abilities. It's now possible to run while using Guns while performing fast Basic Attacks. Sounds are now proximity based. Added 'scouting' functionality (zoom out the camera temporarily). Removed small game stutters (the game no longer waits for sounds and music to be loaded). Added the option to buy previously acquired weapons from Laura (at Regular grade). Finishing this version took much longer than expected (due to a lot of revisions, reworks, upgrades and the much bigger size that the Ignis questline ended up being). As such, in order to have the official release ready within a sensible timeline (Q4 of 2025 or Q1 of 2026), from now on I'll aim for smaller-scale but more frequent updates. At the moment, version 0.5 is planned for early November 2024, and version 0.6 for early January 2025.Read full article on Community Announcements (Jackpod)Patch NotesOfficial

New area that can be explored without time passing: Trimvine. It contains large and small objectives that can be accomplished. Passive Power-ups for all 7 Trees (for a total of 322 nodes to choose from, some of them disabled because relevant mechanics are not yet implemented, such as Burning or Stealth). 1 new Weapon Class: Polearm (and 3 new Polearms). 2 new Greatswords, 2 new Twin Blades, 2 new Guns, 2 new Gloves, 2 new Helmets, 2 new Armours, 2 new Boots, 2 new Consumables. 2 new Abilities and 2 new Stances. 2 new enemy types (1 boss, 1 regular).
