Looks pretty nifty. Any thoughts on an ETA for a demo (if there's even going to be a demo)?
Hey there! Definitively will be a demo. Right now we are finishing some stuff and we're doing QA. After that, some polishing and we'll have it as a first closed demo (since it will be pre-alpha and pretty rough). A more complete and polished beta demo should be available by the end of spring / beginning of summer.
But if you are interested, you'll be able to play way before that with the pre-alpha demo. I'll give keys to anyone who wants, but it will be closed since the game will be rough.
Well, I can't guarantee how much time I'd be able to put into it, but I'd be happy to take a look. I've been a developer for more than 30 years and for quite some time I actually helped people beta test games, so I'm used to working with some rough stuff where software is concerned :)
Thanks! We'll contact you when we get there :)
