So, there was some weird stuff that happened behind the scenes here, recently. See, in my last post, I asked if I should release the sequel demo either on December 16th or on December 23rd. Wasn't sure which, some people wanted it earlier, some people were okay with it coming out later.
Then I went into the Steam settings and stuff and realized that I could release it immediately! And so I did! The demo has technically been out since December 6th!
..."Technically."
See, while the demo has been out since December 6th, the Steam Store Page for the main application (the full game's App ID) wasn't released publicly yet. So, while the demo has been out for a while, the Steam Store glitched out on me, and refused to give me a link to the demo.
The last few days have been me going back and forth with the Steam Team, getting the Steam Store page up and running.
Long story short, the Steam Store doesn't glitch out on either of us anymore, and now we are all allowed Public access to the demo.

As you can see, but I put that the full game won't be released until 2055. That's because, after how stupidly long it took me to put the revamp back together, I don't realistically see myself being able to complete the game in any reasonable time-frame. I said 2055, but it would surprise me if I actually somehow managed to miss that deadline too.
What can I say? I'm working alone and I'm broke. My games have always been coming out of my pocket, and I have no idea how long it will take me to raise the money I need to make this as shiny as I want it to be.
So what can you do? Um... Play the demo? I dunno. I've never been a social person, so spreading the word might help as well... There's also that Optional Additional Payment System you can use to donate towards my endeavors, if you are so inclined.
Or, you know, if you don't have money, the most effective way you can help me out is by writing a review for the revamp... It doesn't even have to be positive. I need ten reviews in order for the revamp to show up as anything but a neutral score, and over the course of a year, I've barely managed to get five. So consider reviewing it, if you don't want spend anything, but still want the sequel to release before 2055.
Otherwise, yeah. I'm done. I'll keep working on this sequel in the background, but it obviously takes a back-seat to stuff happening in real life, and it won't get a commercial release until I can make everything look as pretty as it does in the revamp.
Until then...um...yeah. Enjoy the demo, I guess.
