I've launched the rebuild demo on the Rebuild beta branch on Steam. The first update to the demo just barely went live, the patch notes are below.

Some notes: The demo is not optimized basically at all, and is basically unplayable on machines without a graphics card. Optimization will continue to happen throughout the development process.

Progress and saves made on the demos should not be considered persistent. As the demo phases progress, it's highly likely saves will be invalidated with new features. Once the rebuild is considered fully released / launched, I plan to carry on with the longevity of saves just as I have with Legacy. I don't enjoy wiping progress at all, but this early, it doesn't make sense to slow down progress to lock in saves made so early on.

Do not get hung up on numbers or specifics. This is a demo to showcase features, not something I'm expecting most to dump hours, days, weeks, in to. There's not a ton of items in the game yet. More and more will be added with each update, which I'm planning on rolling out multiple times a week.

Back up your Legacy saves before switching to the rebuild branch if you're worried about them! They are located in your AppData\Local\DeadPoly folder.
