As promised, the first demo patch is here! The most important change here is sprinting, so when you're lost in the world of FOUNTAINS it won't take quite so long to find your way! There are tons of other bugfixes, tweaks and minor changes as well. I'd also like to thank everyone who has funded the full version of FOUNTAINS on Kickstarter, we're making great progress!
