Specific for this event, we made a recent update on our demo!
What is new?
We just added the Utensil System to the demo, including a few different utensils for players to try around different builds! The placement of these utensils will differ from the final version of the game.
Kickstarter
We already made a pre-launch page while we continue to improve and adjust it! Make sure to hit that "Notify me on launch" button to stay tuned for our new campaign! Link here!
We are aiming to start the new campaign next year, between February and April. After making some research, we found out the end of the year is not ideal for campaigns and that March and April were better options, so we opted for something around that. This gives us room to bring new content and more information about Gedda Cake in the campaign!

Patch Notes v0.5
We have made some changes and improvements to the current demo build.
New additions:
Cinematic Bars on Cutscenes to better define them
Selection Arrow Added to Galacteon Swap UI when playing with gamepads -> An arrow was added to better show the player which Galacteon they are selecting
New doors with indicators for the amount of triggers needed for them to open
New door design for normal doors
New Assist Mode Option: Elemental Indicator that shows the enemy's element above them as an icon. If the enemy is not vulnerable to damage the indicator will be greyed out.
Damage Numbers - Damage Numbers added to the game with icons for the different types of damage
These can be turned off in the Settings Book inside the game
New effect when sleeping on nests to give more impact and better feedback that player was healed and can leave the nest
Added a "Death Camera" to bosses. When they are defeated off-screen you will still be able to see their defeat animation
When an enemy is summoned in a wave challenge its attack and collision will be deactivated for some time. This way players won't be punsihed by being in the summoning spot once the enemy shows up.
Changes:
Water movement improved -> Up and down movement decelerates when the button is released
Normal movement changes -> No more drag on normal movement removing some odd behaviors and making it snappier
Bestiary -> bestiary will no longer be based on location
Some changes to descriptions and explanations to better show the buttons needed to perform an action
Some changes to level design
Added special respawn points in rooms filled with water for Gedda to go back to. Solving some situations where it could break the game
Saulomandro no longer sells cupcake refills as he was too close so a save point
Bug fixes:
Sound Bug Fix - Before, changing the sound sliders would make the game start silent the next time and the sfx slider was being overritten by the music slider's value
Wave Challenges -> Some changes to avoid getting stuck on an enemy wave. Let's see if it works for everyone now
Day/Night Cycle - Fixed bugs that would cause the Day/Night Cycle to stop advancing
Pebble/Icicle - Fixed a bug that caused this enemy to spawn in the wrong transformation during dawn
Assist Mode Options were not being saved
Assist Mode Buttons were not displaying correctly depending on control scheme
Piccky would sometimes do her skills looking the wrong way
Fixed a collision bug on the Boaris arena that lead to an exploit
If a boss is defeated and its doors are not opened by one of the dragon's fanfare event then it will open once the game loads the boss and realizes it was defeated
Fixed a bug that lead to infinite slow motion when opening the Galacteon Swap Selector when using gamepads
