AudioGen updated their API, so world generation was slow between 12pm and 6pm PST today. The latest update fixes an issue where the game would spend a long time retrying the audio generation
I'm making this announcement just to let you know that a new map for the demo is now available.
Honestly I wasn't planning to release it yet but I realized that the previous map ("Demo warehouse") didn't let you get the most out of the game, and since this version is a demo for everyone to get to know the project I'm working on, I want it to bring a better impression.
That's why I just added the new map "Spring park" to the demo.
Try it out and don't forget to leave your feedback, it's very helpful!
