Hello Everyone,
The open beta (which is essentially an early demo) is now available to download from the storage page!
I will be collecting as much feedback as I can from this beta and then looping back to make changes to the game before it fully goes live (which I'm anticipating will be in July). There may also be additional open betas depending on the response to this beta, and how much work is needed to be done after it.
This beta will run from June 9th to June 16th, and will be updated over the course of the next week as bugs are discovered or QOL features are requested. It contains the following features...
What does this beta include?
- The first sector of the first region in Adventure mode
- Around 30 buildings to research and unlock
- The first 10 heat levels of the first region
- Some of the new survival systems new to the remake
- The first guardian, The Atlas
What does this beta NOT include?
- More advanced automation mechanics
- Sectors 2 and 3's content of the first region
- The full heat and power systems
- Other gamemodes like Creative
- Multiplayer or other online features
This beta is designed just to let everyone get their hands on a small portion of the game so they can give feedback on things they like or don't like. Once the game is closer to releasing, there will be either a larger beta or permanent demo with more of the game available.
How can I play & Give Feedback?
You should be able to download the demo from the store page now, though it may take some time to appear for some people. Once you have your hands on it, you can report bugs and give feedback on our Discord server. I will be updating the build consistently over the next week, so don't fret if there's severe bugs, balancing issues, or missing QOL features as they will be ironed out quickly.

I hope you enjoy what this beta has to offer! This new game has been in the making for nearly a year now, and although this is only a small snippet of the full game, I hope you can see the overall increase in quality and are excited for the future as we get closer to a full release.
Thanks for reading,
Ben
