This marks the final update for the Blanksword demo for the foreseeable future!
As we're about to embark on the difficult journey of finishing up the full game, this demo will, from now on, only receive maintenance to squash progress-halting bugs and nothing less severe than that.
It's likely that this demo will see another large-scale update shortly before the full release, but until then, we've left you with a sizable list of bugfixes - and hope you continue to have a great time with the Blanksword demo!
