Dear players,

We are very excited to release a new version of Dawnmaker’s demo today! Come and get a glimpse of the World Map feature, where you can travel the lost continent of Heksiga and repel the Smog, region by region. You’ll also get to improve your starting deck, roster and resources in the new Airship menu. More replayability, more choices, more strategy… We hope you’ll like it!

Today’s other big news is that we’ll be participating in Steam Next Fest starting on Monday. Be sure to give the demo a try on Steam, and share it with your friends, to help us get the word out! We’re a small team of 2 people, so everything you can do to help us show Dawnmaker around has a huge impact for us.

Thank you for being with us, we wish you great fun with this new version of the game! On to the full changelog now…
