The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics\/sound\/music enhancement.<\/p>\n<p>Since November 2015, a lot of things happened on the game (but not that much on the demo). I won&#8217;t list everything here, but the main updates are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Polishing &amp; refinement of the combat system<\/li>\n<li>Polishing of the magnetic gauntlet mechanics, especially visual feedback.<\/li>\n<li>11 New levels<\/li>\n<li>2 New Bosses<\/li>\n<li>Polluted Water Zones<\/li>\n<li>New UI including: a control remapping screen, a better quest archiving system, better tool tips, and visual enhancing<\/li>\n<li>Re-design\/correction of the first tutorial<\/li>\n<li>Design overhaul of Zephyr Island (not finished yet) including a shop, the zoological center and the Quack Shack<\/li>\n<li>Minor tweeks on the Bo Dojo<\/li>\n<li>Background continuous saves.\u00a0You don&#8217;t need to worry about saves anymore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What&#8217;s broken ?<\/h3>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I&#8217;m aware of a few bugs\/regressions\/problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Controls are displayed in English, whatever language you choose, and the button names are too generic to be easily understandable.<\/li>\n<li>The game is slower than before. I must clearly redo another optimization pass.<\/li>\n<li>Some assets still need work to be done or polished (Audio, Graphics, UI, &#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>Some camera moves are a bit harsh\/weird<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Have fun!
