Just a small update to fix a few bugs and make other improvements.
Bug Fixes
Fixed (I hope) the weird screen freeze bug that could occur moving between specific rooms in the jungle area. The good news is I have not been able to re-create the bug since implementing this fix, so if it still occurs for you please let me know in the comments or forums!
Localization is now forced to English when the game starts which should fix placeholder translations being shown incorrectly.
Fixed the 'W' icon missing from map compass when viewed horizontally.
Improvements
Tweaks to volumetric fog to improved the performance.
Optimizations to texture and memory usage in the valley area.
Lighting system changes aimed at improving both visuals and performance.
New Features
Objective markers have been added to the map to help guide players through the game. These are turned off by default and can be toggled on in the gameplay settings. These markers are designed to be a light touch, intended to help gently guide you through the main story without giving away the game's deeper secrets.

Note: This patch is currently only available for the Windows version. The Mac version should be up within the next few days.
Just a quick patch to fix some bugs:
Fixed a collision issue in the elevator puzzle room after collecting the Surge ability that was causing a soft lock. Any save file in which the player is located in this room, will have the elevator's position will be reset and the player moved to a safe location.
Fixed a bug that was causing placeholder translations to be displayed when the OS language was something other than English. The demo should now always default to English (the full release will include a range of localizations provided by professional translators).
Also, new sound effects have been added for footsteps on various surfaces, dodecahedron impacts, and some other things.

Development continues on Memory's Reach with a lot of little tweaks and improvements making their way into the demo with this patch. But also some big changes to the level design and progression.
Most notably: the Virishal Depths section has been removed from the demo. This was a semi-hidden section accessible after completing the main portion of the demo. However it's inclusion required a bit of custom work and as development continued and changes were being made, it was becoming difficult to maintain two different versions of the game. So I have made the decision to remove it from the demo, which will allow me to focus a lot less on maintaining parity between the demo and full game, and more time focusing on development.
There's a few other little level design and progression changes in this update, as well as a host of tweaks and improvements.
Level Design Changes
Note: Due to extensive design and progression changes in the patch, you may encounter odd inconsistencies if you load a save from a previous version. Old saves should still work without causing any softlocks, but do let me know if you find yourself stuck.
Removed Virishal Depths region from the demo. If you load a save with the player location somewhere in the depths you will automatically be teleported out to the mines entry in Kogil Rainforest.
Some other behind-the-scenes changes to the data structure of Lagash Valley may mean that if your saved position was in certain locations in this area your position may be moved to a safe location in the Temple Plaza.
Added new section to Lagash Valley to contain the Decryption Key upgrade.
Various other minor changes to level design and progression.
Reduced the shard cost required to access the Translocator upgrade. I decided to leave this in the demo even though it can no longer be used to access the Virishal Depths, as it allows players to explore a little more of the accessible areas and collect a few pickups after completing the main portion of the demo.
Gameplay Changes
Removed Energy Surge's AOE blast function from the demo. This is now a separate upgrade you'll get later in the game.
Energy Surge no longer requires a minimum charge to use a level 1 surge. Simply tapping the trigger will fire a surge. As a result it is also 33% fast to charge up a level 3 surge.
Significantly reduced the speed penalty while carrying a dodecahedron and enabled running while carrying. It's still slightly slower compared to not carrying anything, but not annoyingly so.
Allowed throwing of dodecahedrons before acquiring the Energy Surge ability, however the throw is limited to the minimum (zero charge) distance.
UI
Holo-puzzle UI: Renamed "Bypass" button to "Puzzle Assist". This window now provides and explanation of the puzzle mechanics in addition to the skip function.
Removed the language option from the demo. All localizations were (often bad) machine-translated placeholders intended to test implementation and help gauge audience interest from non-English speaking countries. I'm satisfied I have the information I need from that now so I have decide to disable the language option until such time as the game is professionally translated closer to release.
Other little improvements to the settings menu and UI more broadly.
Additional Display and Graphics Settings
Added FSR 3.1, DLSS 4.5, and XeSS 3 support (DLSS and XeSS are Windows only). Additionally, DLSS now actually works correctly.
Added additional granularity to several Lights, Shadows and Volumetrics settings. Additionally, Volumetrics Quality settings should give far more visually pleasing results at lower quality settings while providing better performance improvements.
Added Tonemapping settings which are useful for adjusting the brightness on HDR displays.

Some minor updates to the demo as development on the full game continues.
General Changes:
Updated Unity Engine version to resolve a security issue identified by Unity in older versions of their engine.
Some minor level design changes to incorporate the new carriable objects into the early areas of the game.
To account for various brands of handhelds, the game will now detect if it is being run on a high DPI device (200 DPI or greater) with a screen width of less than 10 inches, and if so will use the Steam Deck default graphics settings. If you are running a more recent handheld device you can probably increase the graphics settings without a significant reduction in FPS.
Added camera smoothing for mouse input.
The cellular consistency of mushrooms has been stabilized (they no longer wiggle like they're made of jelly).
New settings options:
'Camera Smoothing' (Gameplay tab) - Adjust or disable the new smoothing effect mentioned above.
'Translocator Motion' (Accessibility tab) - Turn this off to remove motion and screen warping effects when using the Translocator ability.
'Camera Bob' (Accessibility tab) - Toggle the bobbing and swaying motion on the camera when walking and running.
'HUD Smoothing' (Accessibility tab) - Toggle the HUD and flashlight movement lag effect.
'Carry Object Toggle' (Accessibility tab) - Set the input of the new carry object mechanic for function as a toggle or a hold.

It's been a busy time over here at 100 Stones HQ, but we're finally ready to release a significant update to the pre-alpha demo. This update brings with it a number of important features that will lay the groundwork for a much more substantial update coming very soon...
Mac Demo Now Available
The long awaited Mac version of the pre-alpha demo is finally available, go check it out!
What are the recommended system requirements for Mac? I don't exactly know, but if you'd like to help me find out...
Performance Test Build
A special "Performance Test" build, is available through the beta menu. As a solo dev working from a PC in my living room, testing on a lot of machines is difficult, so I'm asking the community for help! If you'd like to help me figure out the minimum and recommended system requirements, have a read of this post on the forums and check out the test build. The build includes the pre-alpha demo, as well as two additional scenes from the full game to take a look at:
Steam Deck Support
Steam Deck is now officially supported with customized default settings and a larger UI.
The first time you run the game on Steam Deck it will apply custom default settings optimized for 40fps, but you can of course tweak the settings yourself, which brings me to...
New Settings in the New Settings Menu
The settings UI has been overhauled. It's cleaner, less buggy, and now only takes up half the screen so you can see the effects of your changes in real time.
Many settings options have been tweaked, added, or removed as development has progressed, but a few highlights in this update include:

Added support for FSR and DLSS upscaling. Either of these upscalers can be used to significantly boost performance. FSR is available on Windows, Mac, and Steam Deck. DLSS is available on Windows PCs with a compatible NVIDIA GPU.
Added UI scaling option. On Steam Deck this will default to the maximum value. I also recommend adjusting this if you're playing on a TV or large monitor. Just note that the UI is still a work in progress (most of it still uses placeholder art) so some of the scaling can be a little inconsistent and not all elements will always scale evenly. This will improve as development continues and the final UI art begins to be implemented.
Added additional graphics settings for performance optimization and accessibility.
That's all for this update! Give the performance test build a go... and then keep a lookout for some more big and exciting news coming very soon!

Just a quick update to say that the Pre-Alpha Demo has been updated to the latest version, specifically the version that was shown at PAX Aus this year.
Here's a list of the most visible changes:

Many graphical improvements, especially to shaders and post effects.
Added three additional hidden collectibles.
Various minor tweaks to the gameplay and level design to improve flow.
Additional settings added to the options menu.
The long-awaited MacOS version is under development and should be out... soonish. Hopefully before the end of the year.
As mentioned when it was first released, this demo is intended to be a 15-20 minute experience built for tradeshows. It is designed to give a good overview of the gameplay with the expectation that it is being played for a short time at a noisy show while people in epic cosplay stop by to watch and your friends distract you with the cool swag they just purchased ːsteammockingː
I am still planing to release a much more substantial demo purpose built for Steam. This one will showcase at lot more of the game and will likely include the Kogil Rainforest area (that was also available at PAX by special request), as well as other new content and gameplay. Keep a look out for that next year!
