Hello again, we hope you all have been having fun with the new demo this past week! Today marks the beginning of Steam Next Fest, a week-long event run by Valve where thousands of game developers publish demos of their upcoming games, and we're happy to announce that we're participating!
If you haven't already tried the demo, head on over to the SimplePlanes 2 Demo Steam page and you can simply download it and play. Now's the perfect time to jump in, as you're sure to find new people to play with!
If you're new here and are only just now learning about SimplePlanes 2, welcome! Here's a rundown of what you can expect in this demo:
Limited Designer
Part properties, such as the procedural car engines, can be modified; allowing you to tune the performance of the stock crafts to your liking.
Parts cannot be added, moved, or removed. Wings and fuselages are also unable to be reshaped.
The paint tool can be used and decals can be edited, allowing you to personalize the stock crafts or bring new life into your old SP1 crafts with new textures.
Limited Map
Driftwood Island, a small island densely packed with points of interest including a private airport with a whole race track going through it.
Bannock Station, a militarized area on the southern-most end of the map featuring a military base, a power plant, and docks.
Daland Airport, a little rural airport on Vetusta Island just west of Driftwood.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer is fully functional, allowing you to hang out with your friends and do activities such as races together.
Stock Crafts
A ton of stock crafts are available to load and play with, made by our playtesters, ranging from fighter jets to racecars, utility helicopters, and more!
Bug Reports
When you encounter a bug, please use the in-game bug report button to tell us what happened. It’s the little bug icon in the pause menu. Bug reports submitted this way give us various files such as your log file that help us a lot with deducing what went wrong.
If you’d like to discuss the demo with other players, or find people to play with, please consider joining our Discord Server! There are a lot of friendly people there who’d love to play.
Thanks for playing! Your support means the world to us, and we're working very hard to make a game that's worthy of that support <3
