Dear Cropdeckers!
The first week of Cropdeck Demo just passed. Before the release, it was a rollercoaster of emotions for me, but now, I am happy with how it turned out! I want to say BIG THANKS for giving the demo a try! I am full of enthusiasm for the coming months of development :)
Demo in numbers
We hit a few cool milestones together! The demo has been welcomed very warmly by you.
There were 2289 players.
You left many positive reviews on Steam and kind words in the feedback form (250 of you filled it!)
On average, you played for 1 hour 57 minutes, with a median of 52 min (that's a lot for a demo!).
Over 1200 players added the game to their wishlist! We are very close to 9000 now.
Patches
Over that time, I worked on fixes and improvements to the game. If you haven't seen, there were two patches, one small with important bug fixes, and one way bigger with a lot of gameplay and balance changes (and also bug fixes, heh). For example, ice cubes can now melt and water the tile after 3 days. Revisit the demo and check it out for yourself!
Learn more about the changes with these patch notes:
What's next?
I plan to give the demo some more love by preparing more balance changes, bug fixes, and UX improvements. The game is pretty stable now, but it can be even better! After that, I am going to start working on new features and content.
Join the Discord now to stay connected! There are 185 of us, can we hit 200? 👀
Have fun with the updated demo,
