I am very happy to announce that development is wrapping up. The trailer for the game is now available, here it is.
This has been a long journey for me. Originally when I showed the game for the first time at Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2023, I handed out cards that said the release date would be Fall 2024. That was optimistic, and game development isn't always so predictable.
Still, the game has come a long way, and I think the extra time was absolutely worth it to deliver a polished game to you.
Star Rift Saga will be available on July 15th. I'll have more to share about packaging and pricing as it gets closer.
Demo Available Now
Starting today, and ahead of the upcoming Steam Next Fest in June, you can play the game's demo. It's pretty similar in content to what was shown publicly at a previous expo, but now you can play it at home.
It features a shortened tutorial that gets you right into the action as well as accelerated progression, so drop rates and leveling is greatly increased so you can experience more of it in a shorter time. The game goes all the way up to the first boss battle, and has a few good secrets to find as well. Every time you play it, you'll get a different build since skill chip drops are random and there are a lot available to you.
That's it for now! I'm super happy to be in the final stretch of development, and can't wait for you to be able to play the game!
