Greetings all!

To commemorate the recent release of our new and improved demo of Greed & Darkness, we've put together a Devlog of sorts, a peek behind the curtain on the development of the game. We discuss both the past and the future of the game, so if you are curious about what's coming, give it a watch!

Lastly, we want to give a huge thanks to everyone for their support so far. We hope you'll stick around to see what the game becomes! And if you haven't yet played it, what are you waiting for? The village needs more gold!

A new version is available! Update to get all the latest enhancements and fixes.
