Hey rebels,
Thanks for an amazing launch week for Reignbreaker! We are hard at work building & testing the first patch for the main game, but in the meantime we decided to push a small update to our demo, which will remain available for the forseeable future. We made a huge number of improvements & bug fixes between the release of the demo and the release of the main game, so we wanted to give the demo a little love to make sure it runs as smoothly as the actual game.
Please note that the majority of these bugs were already fixed before we we released the complete game! We do plan to release the patch for the full game in the second week of April, so stay tuned!
