First, a serious thank you for 50,000 wishlists!!! FIGHT-QUEST is my first game, and it started out as a way to teach myself game development / coding. I wasn't expecting it to change my life, but here we are. I genuinely can't thank you all enough for wishlisting and making this all possible!
Development of the full game is well underway. I'm often working 12 hour days because I want to get the full version to you all as soon as possible. An incredibly talented developer (Nate Larson) has joined me to co-develop the rest of the game, and he's really helped speed things up. We're aiming for a late-October release.
I've just updated the demo. It contains some new content, but it's primarily "under the hood" optimizations, changes, and fixes. As much as I'd love to add all the fun new stuff we've been working on to the demo for free, I've gone too many years as a starving artist. I'd like to eat some food now. You can expect it to be priced very reasonably, like other games in the "Survivors-like" genre.
For sneak peaks of the real game, you can join the FIGHT-QUEST Discord (I posted footage of the kick the other day). I'm more excited than ever about how FIGHT-QUEST is coming together, and can't wait to share more soon.
