Hey everyone, hope you are doing great, and that the heat is finally dissipating - it's been really hot here, and tough to work at normal pace, but I still move forward as always.
While continuing to work on the full game, I've made some updates that would also be beneficial for the demo, so here's the change log:

NOTES: I want to replace the main grass asset I've used in the demo, and around some parts of the game, as it does not reflect the final quality and polish I'm trying to achieve overall, but I haven't found the best asset to replace it so far.
I've played around with some other assets I purchased (a few), and only one seems to be better. I've replaced the grass that was in the main menu scene with this new asset for now, and eventually will replace the old grass across Chapter 3 and update the demo again.
Thanks again for your invaluable feedback and trying out the demo, it means the world to me!
Don't hesitate to contact me, or join the Discord server.
I'm always open to feedback! :)
Until next time,
Marco.
