Hello dear players!
As you might remember (or not) from an earlier announcement, the demo was not supposed to land on Steam until more content was finished. But as the game was featured in Steam events, it only made sense to let people play it. The events overall were a success. A small one, but it helped Voice of Flowers get noticed by many more players.
Now with both Baltic Showcase and Metroidvania Fusion events finished, the demo will again be pulled out from Steam until final demo is ready, or until another Steam event. In the meantime you will still be able to play the game on itch.io.
The next demo
The next demo version is dubbed Haunted Tundra Demo. It will take place in a remote snowy region and feature much more locations to explore, 2 bosses and new magic spells. Here's a little sneak peak of a new area (WIP):
Note that the demo has no precise ETA as of now. If it happens that the game will get featured in another Steam event before the new demo is finished, the desert demo will be pulled once again.
Final demo
The "final demo" is the next planned demo version after Haunted Tundra and it will be the last one content-wise. It's still far off, but the plan is to have it available permanently before and after the game release (with occasional feature updates).
The final demo will feature 4 "biomes" and the beginning of the story the way it's intended to play. The content is mostly finished, but it needs lots of polishing. It's the famous last 5% that takes 95% of the time ;)
What's next?
Further plans will be announced once the "final demo" is finished. For now the itch.io version is going to be updated with the new Steam content (including achievements!), so people that missed it can still play it. And the current small demo has surprisingly many secrets.
