  0.1.16 Demo Update & Early Access Release Schedule Change

  Hello. I'm DD， a solo developer.Once again， thank you to everyone who visited my booth during BIC.I received far more feedback and support than I expected， and it gave me the courage and motivation to work even harder. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed Pathogen， the game made it into the TOP 5 in the BIC Game Design category， which gave me confidence in its potential. At BIC， I mentioned that although the schedule was not finalized， I was planning to release the game around November this year. However， in order to deliver more content and a more polished game， I have decided to postpone the release to Q1 of next year.I made this decision because I want the Early Access version to offer a much larger amount of content and a more enjoyable experience than the current demo can show. If you can wait a little longer， I will do my best to make sure the Early Access version is well worth the wait and much more fun to play. Below are the details of this update.1. Demo Content Scope AdjustmentTo address a critical security issue found in the current demo as well as its steep learning curve， the amount of content available in the demo has been significantly reduced.I sincerely apologize to players who have been enjoying the large amount of content available in the previous demo.Most cards that appear in the demo will now belong to only 4 Gene Tags (synergies).As a result， the large card pool previously previewed in earlier versions will be greatly reduced.Rare card recipes will no longer be available in the demo.Due to changes in the data structure， previously unlocked Mixing Experiment recipes will change.To prevent errors during this update， your current run data will be reset.Your user data will remain intact， and only the data for your current run will be reset.If you would like to continue using the current version， I recommend not updating the game.I will take greater care with future updates to prevent this kind of issue from happening again.2.
