Demo, Multiplayer, Workshop, and more:
This update is pretty large, adding some pretty major features such as the Steam Workshop, Texture Packs, a Character Browser, and more. I have been working very hard on multiplayer, but it is not ready yet. It is very likely that the next major update will include Multiplayer. There is also a free Demo version of PsychWorld coming out as soon as Steam reviews it. I hope you all enjoy the update and as always you can report bugs or suggest features in the discord or email [email protected].
