Hi!

Here's another dev update.

The new Village map is now ready and it turned out so much better than the previous demo one. I will share you some screenshots either tonight or tomorrow once I finish few other tasks first.

Then when it comes to other timelines, I have to spent few days starting tomorrow to register to this upcoming Steam Next Fest and this includes updating the store page with new content and details.

Along with the Next Fest registration, I will be submitting the game / upcoming demo to few other places as well and I will let you know in that next devlog (first week of September) of where I'm planning to participate before that early access launch window.

Once this registration is done, I will be focusing on the Border Zone map (starting next week) where I have already bunch of progress done but this new iteration of the border area needs a quite bit of testing since there's going to be those multiple crossing mechanics available.

Once the Border Zone map is done, I need to start planning what new features and maps will be provided to the final demo in October. I call this topic a "feature dilemma" since I have so many cool stuff available in the commercial branch.

Obviously I have to reserve / store a lot of stuff for the early access, but limiting already made content is something that I'm not used to since I have always shared the most recent features but now I have to (annoyingly) keep some stuff limited, since there needs to be a clear gap between the free demo and paid product, but still the demo needs to be new and exciting, so that's the dilemma here.
