We're excited to announce that the first demo for Nexvultus has passed the internal Quality Assurance review! Now we're excited to bring you the next official demo for Nexvultus!
This second build takes everything we learned from the first pass and pushes it further. More polish, more stability, and some new features for the sealers to play around with. Much appreciation to the testers who completed Demo 1! Your feedback has helped shape the better experience in demo 2.
Note: this demo is currently only accessible for internal QA testers and is not publicly available yet. We want to make sure our public builds will be as squeaky clean as possible to provide a great experience for everyone.
