Check the changelogs in the update posts to see all the differences and additions that the latest Early Access version has.There have been some minor GPU memory improvements since this demo version, but overall you should get a pretty good impression of how the game runs on your system before you buy it.Remember: "buying" here means most and foremost supporting the development of the game or just because you like it and had some fun with it in the past.
