From Playtest to Demo!

Today, I've sent my Demo to review at Valve and when that gets approved sometime next week (hopefully) I will shut down the playtest and support the Demo only.

addedToday, I've sent my Demo to review at Valve and when that gets approved sometime next week (hopefully) I will shut down the playtest and support the Demo only. That said, the playtest has just been updated so that it is the same as the current Demo build - this means new content for you guys and a better play experience.
addedThe camp is expanded so you can see new areas - they cannot be entered in the demo though
changedWhen defeating the final boss (which has moved to section 9) the player is now met with a little bit of story instead of just getting a win-screen.
changedDifficulty and progression has been adjusted once more. The goal is that the demo should encourage players to play about 3 run-throughs to get enough of a taste of the game. This should equal to about 30 minutes of playtime.

  • The winter and mushroom areas are prohibited now - instead the demo is entirely played in the forest area.

I hope you all will go an play the demo once it comes out and leave a review :)

Thanks for all the feedback I've received - it has helped alot on making a better game and preparing for the demo!

Happy gaming - Mathias Zillo Zillo Games
