DigSite is now targeting a 2026 release. The demo feedback was super helpful, but more time is needed to give the game the polish and depth it deserves. Thanks for your patience while I keep improving.

Yes I didn't expect that someone would use mouse when controller is connected. Should fix that. Thanks.

Thanks! Did you have both mouse and controller at the same time? You can pick up the camera and place it where you want.

🏺 Carrying heavy artifacts drains your stamina.
🌞 Find shade among the ruins to recover.

So #FeedbackQuest is over. Thanks every one for playing. These are things I need to work on:
- need better tutorial, some mechanics not explained well
- tank controls not good
- stamina consumption too high, recovery too slow
- sound settings needed in main menu
