Now that our Demo is live, we’d like to go over what’s next: We’ll be participating in October’s Steam Next Fest and releasing an updated version of our demo! Here are the updates we’ll be making in the demo.

Updated tutorial

Our current tutorial is dialogue based, which is good for building a bit of personality to the Grove Keeper, but kind of confusing when it comes to actually teaching the game. In the upcoming demo, the tutorial will be more traditional, with windows that pop up to explain parts of the game when they are relevant.

Glossary

We’ve added a glossary to reference when players have forgotten certain terms or concepts.

Localization

We’re currently in the process of preparing the game for localization. We’re hoping to have several languages available for the next version of the demo. On the top of the list are: Japanese, Chinese, French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Polish - but we plan on having more as time goes on.

Map changes

For the Demo maps, we’ll also be adding some extra units to showcase more Golems.

We also have a bunch of bug fixes and quality of life changes! Shortly after Next Fest we'll be going into Early Access! We hope to see you there!
