Hi everyone,
With release rapidly approaching and the demo being very out of date now, I wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be taking it down on the 14th March.
What this means is you'll be unable to download or play the demo once I pull that trigger, so you have just over one week to get a taster of what the combat experience is like in SENTRY - although bear in mind it's only got better since we released it in October, and doesn't have any of the campaign/upgrade layers.
We released the demo for the October 2023 Next Fest and were humbled by how successful it was, ultimately reaching 24th in Valve's list of most played demos for that event (out of over 2000). Not bad for such a tiny team! You can read a more detailed breakdown here.
I originally wasn't planning on leaving the demo up for as long as this, but every week hundreds - sometimes thousands - more people would download it, and while people were enjoying it I didn't want to get in the way of that :D
Right now, it's had over 60,000 downloads and to each and every one of you...
While I don't have official stats, it's safe to assume that a bazillion aliens were vented into space - and for that the SENTRY Defense Program thanks you for your service. The fight resumes on the 25th March when the game releases into Early Access.
