Welcome to the Strategy Fest
Today we are pleased to present our new demo. It's been a while since our last public demo, but we've been doing a lot of private playtests in the background to gather feedback and improve the game over the past months. That means there's a LOT of new stuff since the last demo.
New Systems
First, let's take a look at the brand new systems that were added since the last demo.
Travel System
In between levels, choose your path to the next seedbed carefully since your time is limited! Along the way, you'll find familiar faces, unique events and many opportunities to upgrade your loadout!
Threat System
As you explore, you'll discover threats that you'll have to deal with. Those threats can take many forms : A Draugr encampment, a storm, overgrowth brambles and more! They each have a different effect and a way to remove them. However, your trusty "Smite" card in the Observatory will always work too!
Deck Management
We've added deckbuilding to the game! That's right, cards can now be added and removed from the deck. Every turn, cards are discarded and a new hand is drawn. The main way to add cards will be to increase population to draft cards during population rewards! Choose carefully!
Thrasir's Workshop
In Thrasir workshop, you'll be able to add permanent buildings to the Holt. On top of making the best looking island possible, they will also give you permanent bonuses. Neat!
New Content :
Along those new systems came a lot of content for the existing ones. Let's cover the big ones.
- 20+ Buildings
- 10+ Modifiers
- New Biome : Nidavellir
- New Biome : Asgard
- One new Scion
- 10+ Greenhouse Upgrades
- Many storylines!
A Challenge
As part of celebrating the Strategy Fest, we want to hold a little competition. If you manage to achieve a score of 1750+ at the end of a loop, your name will be engraved forever in the Holt for anyone to see! Good luck!
In the future
While this might be the last demo for a while, we encourage you to register for the playtest if you want to be up to date with the new builds that we're sending every month to our playtesters. You can do so directly on Steam!
Thanks a lot for your support!
