We are releasing one of our final demo updates before the launch of the game. This update comes with a lot of polish and performance updates. There is still a lot of performance left to be sorted out but we are seeing gains of 10-20FPS in most areas and upwards of 30 FPS in some others.

We are releasing this update as part of seeking publishing for the game. If you find any major game-breaking bugs that QA did not see, please email info@dragonclawstudios.com to let us know.

With over 350+ changes, we've distilled them down to a few we're most excited about!
