- Magfest Mayhem & Demo Revival! - 27 January 2024
Esteemed Gamers, Our expedition to Magfest, a spectacle of electronic wonders, has borne peculiar fruits. Amidst a throng of gasps and guffaws, we, clad in our finest top hats, have exorcised the mischievous bugs that once lurked in our game demo. Your words, a cascade of Victorian wisdom, guided our hands in this delicate endeavor. Behold the rebirth of our demo! Not with grandeur and fanfare, but with the cunning and precision of a clockmaker, we've banished the digital gremlins. A mere foretaste, dear players, of the grander alchemy to be wrought in the full game. We cordially invite you to witness this refined spectacle, now free of its erstwhile digital pests. In anticipation of further adventures, Hammered Crow Games, LLC
- Bug fix for graphics settings - 28 September 2023
Hi players! I just pushed a new version of the demo with a small but super important change. The demo was accidentally defaulting to the 'low' graphics settings which was only really meant to run on extremely old systems. ːsteamfacepalmː It should now default to high, and we took out 'low' which had too many problems and wasn't enough of a performance improvement to justify the game looking that terrible and causing problems with puzzles.
