  A new Gothic Hell: Survivors demo update is live.This update focuses mostly on performance, stability, and gameplay fixes based on player feedback.One important change: on the first launch (or after a new version) the game now precompiles all shaders, which should eliminate most runtime stuttering.We also added crash reporting via Sentry (only with player consent) and a Report an Issue form in the menu so problems can be tracked and fixed faster.Gameplay changes:Player can now die up to 3 times before the demo endsAdded a few new type of spellsHarder to get Legendary upgradesAdded DOM skyEnemies now spawn farther away from the playerBoss regeneration adjusted (each 1 second -> each 4 seconds)Waves/Monsters/Boss gameplay and behavior fixesNavigation improvementsA lot of small changesTechnical improvements and fixes:Shader and material optimizationTexture fixes & optimizationFog rendering fixedDLSS and graphics menu fixesGeneral menu fixes and updatesAlso, Gothic Hell: Survivors is participating in the Women’s Day Sale. This game has been built by a two-person team—me and my wife—doing everything ourselves, so the support means a lot.P.S. Demo playtime is still around 20 minutes. Our goal is to make it playable on most PCs for a better experience. After that, we will push all content updates to make it ready for big events like Steam Next Fest.
