Hello everyone! 👋

After launching our demo, we have been collecting a lot of feedback, both through in-game data and feedback surveys. Some of you have also messaged us directly, and we really appreciate all the feedback we've received. We received over 100+ pieces of feedback from all channels, so it took us a while to bring everything together. We value your opinion, and since you took the time to write it, we should also take our time to read it! 📖

Before I share the insights we've received, a little shoutout:
This time around, Preparation has won 1st place. However, Eager Punch still holds a very good position and will always be the go-to card when it comes to winning the game! If you haven't won the game yet, try giving these cards and relics a shot!

It's interesting to note that we've seen people picking a lot of Shadow Blade?? We launched our demo at the time when the Solo Leveling Sung-Jinwoo anime was released; could it be the effect of the anime?!
So far, compared to our pre-demo stats, we've improved in terms of difficulty level.
It seems like you guys enjoy it more than before. Yay! ːsteamhappyː

• We have noticed issues regarding gameplay speed settings.
  
• The impact of roguelite progression is not strong enough.
  
• Events are boring.
  
• Many other notes mentioned performance issues and varying difficulty levels; some players are seeking more challenges!
  
• Improvements can still be made in some UX areas, like card smelting where recipes aren't clear.
  
• And many more...

We've also heard some might feel uncomfortable sharing information, so in the future, we'll now have an option for players to opt-out. Sorry if this causes you inconvenience and stops you from playing the game. ːcrying_yetiː

With our small team, instead of fixing the current demo, we've decided to put our resources into early access, doing the fixes from the demo in a potentially beta testing branch in the future. There will definitely be a playtest before launching, so if you want to join our playtest, don't forget to join our Discord!

Thank you so much for playing our demo and for all your feedback. 💖
With your voice, we know where we should be heading, what will make an impact, and what makes you want to see more in the game.
We hope you had a good time playing Northwind, and we aim to deliver an even better version in Demo 1.0 and Early Access! So please look forward to it! 😤🔥🔥

Our focus is now on the Early Access version and the upcoming Demo 1.0!Although we haven't fully processed all the feedback, we've already identified numerous improvements we want to make, covering various aspects of the game such as controls, speed, visual effects, game progression, and the user experience.
