Hey all, big news time!
As some of you might already have noticed, we've updated the demo for the upcoming Steam Next Fest. Besides the usual tweaks & changes, there is one major addition: Speedrun Mode.
We just started a Speedrunning Competition where you can even win Steam keys for the game if you're fast enough!

Changelog
Here's the changelog for the new demo build - quite a lot of changes since last year's Gamescom demo:
- The Repeater is back - it's now (again) the game's starter weapon, with some tweaks to the Aimbot mod & Supercharge
- New Dialogs - added lots of new dialogs/narration/illustrations, as well as updated how dialogs are presented (now with text animations and sound!)
- New Upgrades - not many, as I don't want to spoil them in the demo, but I've still added a few new ones
- Tutorial Rework - you now actually have time to read those texts without getting shot at
- Easy Mode can now be disabled in the demo, if you want the real challenge!
- "Map Peek" Feature - check out the whole map and their rewards to plan your route in advance
- Start Screen - new & cool
- Performance improvements - overall ~50% higher FPS, in some levels even 2-3x FPS increase
- Graphics tweaks - better-looking environments and VFX like explosions, warping, …
- Added widescreen support for up to 32:9 resolutions; also tweaks for Steam Deck
- Lots of UI/UX improvements, including both HUD & menu reworks/tweaks
- Balance improvements & bugfixes as usual
- So many more small tweaks you'll have to find by yourself
