When do shattering stones start dropping? When do I start getting potions to use? How do I update the demo? How do I know when the update for the demo is available?

Other than it being a bit lagey at times I am having fun with it atm. There is so much more about the game that I want to learn and I know that in time that I will learn what I want to know.

Good job on the demo. I was right about how I would develop the skill system for a Diablo game or a Diablo type of game if I were in charge. I don't know how I could wind up thinking in a manner that is similar to what team of devs came up with. I guess that is due to me having a problem with truly being original in trying to come up with something entirely new.

I hope it is not due to some strange Vulcan type of mind meld. That would be odd, lol. Have a great day to all of the devs.

When do shattering stones start dropping?

Shattering stones start dropping really early on. I'm not sure they can drop from the first few skeletons, but they'll start appearing really, really soon, if they haven't already.

When do I start getting potions to use?

There's no physical potion drops, there's a small compartment in your health globe that indicates your current potion. It has 3 charges and is available as soon as you log in.

How do I update the demo? How do I know when the update for the demo is available?

I actually don't know. I assume we'll have to download the demo again when an update comes live. This is just an assumption though, I have no idea.

Correct! Here's a little added detail:

Shattering stones drop from lv6 enemies and above, but enemy level doesn't exactly correlate to character level, so "early on" is an accurate descriptor.

Correct on the potion. The flask gains charges as you kill enemies, so you don't have to look for potions. There will be some small tweaks to the potion in the next patch which improve how it scales later on in the game. Our design team is actively discussing the potion's place in our design long-term so you may see some changes in the future.

The demo does have to be redownloaded when we release a new patch, we announce new patches on the community discord in the #downloadable-demos channel when they are ready, and sometimes we'll announce that they're coming in advance. We are planning to have a new demo out in the next couple days.

In future we are planning to have a launcher, so you won't have to redownload the full game with each patch, but we don't yet know when that's going to be.
