The demo version has been approved by Valve 🤩 which means it is available right now! For me this is very exciting news.
On a side note some more news:
I've received feedback that kids seem to enjoy the game, but have difficulties reading the skill descriptions for example. Hence, I'm going to translate the game. French and Spanish will be done by friends. I'll do German. Work in progress language selection screen - for the first game start only:
Language will be automatically selected on the first start based on OS language. And of course a language selection dropdown menu also needs to be added to the options menu to change language at any time.Instant respawn added when dying, which was suggested by playtesters. It makes the game faster and increases flow :-) Very good suggestion!
Default keys are now WASD instead of arrow keys to better support users with 60% keyboards. Everything can still be remapped in the options though
Reworked the tutorial quite a bit based on a lot of feedback. Apparently the tutorial did not receive sufficient love before 🙈
The minimal marketing I've done so far during the last week or so (flyers at Gamescom and a hand full of forum posts) did lead to a small bump in wishlists ːsteamhappyː nice!
Currently working on a press kit, which can be used to contact press, influencers and the like and hand them every bit of information they need directly and in one place. Maybe we'll get another bump in wishlists this way :-) Let's find out!
