Dia daoibh, fateful friends!
The revised demo for The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is officially here! Whether you're an old or new player, we believe giving this new demo a try is 100% worth it: The UI has been majorly re-worked, all of the backgrounds have been updated, we have proper NPC sprites now, tons of new voice acting, and more! I mean, just take a look at the before/after of our main menu...
Isn't it gorgeous? And SO much less cluttered?! Look here! You can even immediately tell how to access the demo's individual chapters now!! Much better than randomly discovering the body text is clickable... 😅
...Anyway!
In all seriousness, we really hope you enjoy this update! When our Kickstarter first ended, we didn't think we would update the demo again, but after a year and a half of work put into the demo contents (i.e. Volume 1) and the upcoming routes, we felt that the original demo no longer accurately reflected our product! So: If you were already excited for this game, or are just now hearing of it, we hope this update will give you a better idea of what to expect when the first halves of Maeve and Shae's routes drop this fall!
By the way: If you played the demo previously, we would love to hear your thoughts on all the changes! We did our best to address most of the major issues/criticisms we received for the previous demo (i.e. navigational problems, the door puzzle, some unfinished-looking backgrounds, glossary errors) and hope to address a few more of them in future updates (e.g. multiple sprite options for Daonna/MC)! Our game, even when available for purchase this fall, is ultimately going to be in an "early access" state for quite a while as we develop the game — so any and all feedback is very helpful! 🙇🏻♀️ You can let us know what you think via the community hub/discussions area, or over on our Discord!
Slán go foill! (Bye for now!)
