New demo update


Hi beekeepers! 🐝 After a long pause, I'm back with a new demo version! I've done a lot of polishing for both platforms and fixed numerous bugs. You can check the changes in the changelog below!

User Experience Changes

    • Inventory UI now appears when the player’s hand is near the left-hand inventory sphere.
    • Added “Profit per Minute” metric to the statistics panel.
    • Tutorial now displays the current page number (e.g., “Page 2/5”).
    • Future Queen Bee now has a 3D crown model hovering above it.
    • Tutorial panel no longer follows the player’s head and is positioned in front of the player when opened.
    • All bee species now have unique icons for visual identification.
    • Each bee type has been assigned a distinct color for clearer categorization.
    • Added a beekeeper hat cosmetic item for the player character.
    • Victory conditions are now tracked, triggering a “Victory” notification upon completion.
    • Controller guide lines have been updated for accuracy (Quest version now renders lines correctly per eye).
    • Players now start with 5 bees of each starter species (3 species total).
    • Spectator Mode (PC): Camera speed can now be adjusted via the mouse wheel.

    Fixes

      • Fixed collision issues preventing hive construction near the player.
      • Hive/Tutorial buttons now display correct hover and pressed states.

      • Empty inventory slots can no longer be selected.
      • Fixed page display errors when the number of bees is a multiple of 12.
      • Adjusted bee spawn height from hives to reduce chaotic scattering.
      • Replaced construction grid decal with a flat plane for visibility on Quest.
      • Bees that clip underground now automatically respawn on the surface.
      • Fixed misalignment of the hive UI frame during player selection.
