Some madman played the demo for 1000 hours...?!

I couldn't believe they would actually do it, but a few months ago a very nice user called "¿" came to the Steam forums and made a post asking me to release the game if they will play the demo for 100 hours.

changedI had to respond accordingly, because no matter how hard you press the demos "Play" button, unfortunately the game won't magically be ready.
changedThis was genuinely heartwarming. He challenged himself and completed the challenge in order to help do something incredibly nice to me and the game!
changedI honestly forgot about it, but there it was. One THOUSAND hours of gameplay on my little weird demo.

That didn't stop "¿"! You have to understand, the demo is AT MOST 20 minutes long. It's linear, the experience doesn't repeat itself! But he joined my discord anyway, now known as "1911", and played the demo for these 100 hours, and at the end of this journey wrote down this message:

This was genuinely heartwarming. He challenged himself and completed the challenge in order to help do something incredibly nice to me and the game!

But he wasn't the only one.

There came Kiwis (Omar Ajez) and came up with this redicoulus idea. I sat there from the other side of the screen, and figured out there's just no way someone will play the demo for 1000 hours. It's 41 days of non-stop playing!!! This is crazy. No way.

But they did it. Yesterday I came back to my discord to find this message:

I honestly forgot about it, but there it was. One THOUSAND hours of gameplay on my little weird demo.

So as I've said beforehand, I had to do SOMETHING. I sat down to think about it and decided to give both "¿" and Omar an easter egg in the full game.

So yeah, thank you to both of you, you've made me really happy with how much you care about my game. I hope you'll like your easter egg when you get to see it for yourselves 😊

And for everyone else that read so far, thank you for your support as well! The game still has some way to go before I'll actually be able to release it, but I'm working hard on making it something special that I hope you will love.

In the meantime, if you'd like, you can join me and the rest of these crazy fellows at the game's discord server . Everyone in there is the best kind of crazy that you can ask for 😉
