Hi everyone! We've been working hard to update, optimize and fix some of the issues reported in our most recent pre-alpha demo and we have a new build available! We're looking for any and all feedback, so if you're feeling up to the challenge, dive right in: there's over three hours of content, loads of skills, items and equipment, and plenty of challenging encounters! You can download it from [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/690110/Wellspring_Altar_of_Roots/]our store page here![/url] Since we've changed our name from Bevontule to Wellspring, if you want to keep your old save files and configuration settings, you'll need to do a few things, as the application data folder has a different name: [list] [*]Find the AppData folder for Bevontule--this is usually found at C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Multithreaded Games\ [*]Run "Wellspring_Demo.exe" and close it before choosing configuration options from the built-in Unity dialog. [*]There should be a "Wellspring" directory in the same directory as the previously-mentioned Bevontule folder. [*]Open the Bevontule folder and copy all of its contents into the Wellspring folder--make sure to overwrite anything if prompted. [*]Run the game as normal!
