Here are the first patch notes for the DD2 demo! We've got a long way to go before the game is fully where we want it, but I wanted to act on some of the higher priority stuff quickly for y'all while the demo is live.
Also, quick reminder that campaign customization is already live, meaning if you want to tackle the demo chapters with exceptional difficulty or tweak things for a new run you can do so. The sandbox is built to reward creative play, so levels can be tackled at extremely high difficulties with the right team compositions!
