Today is a special day, we are excited to release the official demo based on our latest Alpha 5 build.
We reworked the aircraft models, we added new features to the building and resource management system, and we improved and polished many aspects of the general playing experience based on the feedback from the community. We also made the game more accessible to new players by improving tutorial features and adding more languages with the help of our amazing community translators.

Check out our new demo trailer, celebrating this milestone:
For people who have played the previous alpha versions, here is an overview of the most significant changes. Play the demo and discover the new features and how they make your base building more efficient:
- Improved aircraft models
- New grid-based building system
- Improved workbench management for more efficient resource production
- Improved information bubble system (the speech bubbles over your NPCs and assets)
- New animations for the NPCs
- New background music
- New highlighting system (i.e. for displaying the resources you need on your map)
- Balancing and resources adjustments (for example, Tier 1 parking spots don’t need bricks any more)
- Community Translations: This demo now has British English, German, French, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Malay, Russian, Dutch and Swiss German localization thanks to the efforts of our community translators.
- New tutorial texts and tooltip feature
- Many more UI, UX, and other quality-of-life improvements
- (The roof building still sucks, we promise we are working on it - sorry!)
Your base can’t get attacked yet in this version, but we are working on that for the next Alpha.
Ground of Aces Has its Own DEMO PAGE!
For this demo, we have set up a separate Steam page. This allows you to review the demo now. It's easier than ever to share your feedback on the game with us and help us make the best game possible. Not to mention that feedback will also help more players discover the game and join our community. Leave a review here!
If you want to give us more extensive feedback, we also have our demo survey form and the in-game feedback button.
You can also join our community on Discord and talk with our devs there.
Thank you to our community and Alpha testers for their support.
Thank You to Our Community Translators
