Sorry, but I won't be releasing a testerdemo yet. Every time I get around to creating an executable I find another thing that needs fixing. The worst of which is a consistent full crash (specifically in the overworld luckily - for as far as I can tell), probably due to Studio needed greater care to resource handling or something
I'll crack it eventually, but it might be a while before that happens I'm afraid. On the plus side: I'm about half way into making the menu's working like old again. Also, I've been tinkering with some core mechanics to get the pause mode working again.
