Hey folks, It's the end of the Steam Next Fest, I just wanted to say thank you for playing the demo! I've collected lots of great feedback which I can't wait to implement into the game. This demo has also helped me catch bugs with different operating systems (I'm looking at you Mac!) so I have a short list of features that need revising before release. It's better to catch them now with a demo versus a full release. Talking about releases, I've decided to push back the release date to [b]Q2 2024[/b] - the extra time will allow me to properly focus on all the things listed above. The response has been nothing short of amazing so thank you for the massive motivational boost and the only reason for the delay is to make the game as best as possible! ːorange_heartː With that said, I will leave the demo up for one more week, in case anyone missed the opportunity to try it out. [hr][/hr] [h2]Decoration Competition Winners[/h2] Oh boy, this was a tough one! The competition was fierce, we had so many great entries, and I wish I could pick all of them to win - like honestly. I'll go over a few of my favorites before announcing the winners.
