Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope you have a properly lovely New Year. 🎄
Quick update from us at Giraffe Head Studios: the demo is coming very soon.
We are in that final stretch of fixing the last minute bits and pieces, polishing rough edges, and doing the boring-but-necessary checks that stop things exploding in the wrong way.
How the demo release will work
The demo will first go live in an Advanced Preview state. That means it is fully playable, it is fully representative of the game, and it is absolutely most likely a thing you should try… but also, we will be actively improving as we head towards Early Access. So, expect updates, tweaks, and general “why did that ragdoll do that” adjustments.
A note on bugs (Chaos is a Feature)
Just trying to manage the expections here, rather than make excuses (honest guv...). There will still be some issues in the demo, and honestly, some of them are staying. It is a physics experiment game after all, and a bit of chaos is part of the deal.
That said, we will be fixing anything that is:
Game breaking
Not hilarious
Getting in the way of the fun
If you play the Advanced Preview and something feels properly wrong, please shout. Come in here and let us know, or even better join the discord. EVeryone in there is very friendly, some possibly more than they should be. Steve we're looking at you...
Anyway, your feedback genuinely helps us get this into the best shape possible for Early Access.
Thanks for all the support so far. More soon.
P.S. If you want to give the project a tiny boost, you can either add it to your wishlist or give a little press of the Notify on Launch on the Kickstarter pre-launch page here:
