Hello everyone.
Although we've been very busy making progress with the main story - we've also got a bunch of new features and quality of life improvements planned for the Demo, thanks to all the feedback we've received from you. We plan to update the demo in the following month to include the following quality of life improvements.
UI/UX:
User Interface navigation was a big pain point for players so it will receive some major improvements. For starters, you'll be able to flip between different user interface pages just by navigating left or right. This should make browsing your inventory, summoning program or even the shops much easier. We will also add the option to specify an amount when purchasing an item.
The Eidolon Storage interface will also received a major overhaul. You can now easily navigate between pages of your stored eidolons and can directly swap Eidolons from your party into storage or vice versa, without having to deposit and withdraw. You will also have access to more information about your Eidolons through the storage interface as it will now display the Eidolon's attributes, resistances, potential and both features.
Finally, we're adding a new notification to the overworld user interface that will show you important NPCs that can be found in an area.
System:
An auto-save feature will also be included in the demo update. It can be configured to save whenever you enter a new area or after each battle, or alternatively it can be entirely disabled.
Gameplay:
Status effects have also received some major quality of life changes, with visual indicators for duration and proper support for duration stacking. Furthermore, some status effects have been reworked.
There are also plans to include additional content in the Demo, such as access to new Socials, side quests, a bunch of new Eidolons to acquire and even brand new areas to explore.
Finally, the Demo update will include a bunch of minor bugs we've identified and fixed such as collision issues in the overworld, item drop table errors, audio and graphical issues.
Gamepad Support:
We plan to include at least partial gamepad support for Eidolon Awakened in the near future, however it's not certain whether or not this will be included in the Demo update yet. We are however aware that many of you would like to use a Gamepad as much as possible. We're also looking into improving the player experience with the Steam Deck.
I'd like to thank everyone who tried out the demo and submitted feedback, your input has been extremely helpful.
