Demo Version 1.00 Released: We Have Left BETA

Version 1.0 of the FACEMINER demo is now released! The 'beta' disclaimer has been left in the dust and we have our first full version number to prove it.

With this update comes some pretty big changes -- primarily around the BALANCE of the demo experience. To those who played the demo before and were left defeated by its unforgiving nature, we urge you to try again. The days of runs that go on for hours is over; you will lose faster, the game will (auto)save more often, and if you do win, it'll happen in around half the time.  The result amounts to what is hopefully a nimbler experience for all. It may even approach being 'enjoyable' in places for some users (unconfirmed).

What else is new?

- A massively overhauled message-reading voice! This was the most requested improvement by far. Thanks again to Madwreck with the help on nailing these.

- Removed emissions from the demo and simplified the surveillance feature a little — these will both come into their own more in the full game, but for now we're nerfing them

- VFX can now be disabled through the menu

- Many small tweaks to the visuals and narrative/emails; little polishes to make your mining experience better.

- Many small bugfixes, too numerous and tedious to mention Thank you for reading, and Happy Mining.
