I've been doing a lot of work on Vector Seven recently, so the old Nextfest Steam demo has been revamped to bring it up to date with the latest version of the game.
The biggest change is the ship handling, I've spent a lot of time tweaking how the ship moves, accelerates and builds up speed, and it now feels much faster and more responsive. The new thrust system takes inspiration from classic arcade games and lets you really get some speed up when you need it.
I've also been working on the general flow of the game, improving enemy waves, pacing and encounters, along with lots of visual and audio tweaks and smaller fixes. The demo is just a taster, so its designed to let you get the feel of the game and try out some of the different weapons upgrades.
Basically, the old demo was starting to feel a little behind the full game, so it needed a proper refresh!
The updated demo has:
New ship handling and thrust
Improved enemy waves and pacing
Tweaked controls and gameplay
Visual and audio improvements
Lots of smaller fixes and polish
If you've already played the demo, it'll definitely be worth giving the new version another go!
More soon!
