First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has played the Katanaut demo, shared feedback, and helped shape the game. Over the past month, I’ve been working nonstop to patch bugs, improve accessibility, tweak visuals, and slowly introduce more content. If you haven’t tried the demo yet, now’s a great time to check it out!
Now for the big news – Katanaut is officially part of Steam Next Fest, starting February 24! Leading up to the event, I’ll be rolling out new content for the demo, so even if you’ve already played, there will be fresh updates to dive into.

I never expected the amount of coverage the demo has received, and it’s been incredible seeing so many people enjoying the game. Here are a few places Katanaut has been featured:

Beyond that, I’m incredibly grateful to all the content creators who have showcased Katanaut. It's been an absolute trip seeing people play the game, which I've been obsessing over as a hermit for the past few years. If you want to see a pretty cool example of a showcase, checkout:
