DEMO 2 Release Date and Patch Notes

Hey everyone! Today I have a very important devlog for you guys. Meins Quest DEMO 2 is coming along really well, and is very close to completion. Right now, we are just touching things up to make them as polished as possible. With the game constantly getting more depth and ideas added, there's so much more to take into account moving forward. That aside, we have a lot to cover today! 

First, I would like to chat about the patch notes for DEMO 2,  as there are A LOT of changes made for this build. I'm super proud of what we were able to achieve, as this will make new content moving forward easier to implement. With Meins Quest getting closer and closer to what the final product is meant to be, here is everything you can expect from DEMO 2:
