NEW STEAM NEXT FEST DEMO RELEASED!

Hi all,

We’re excited to release a new verision of the UMPB demo for the 2024 Steam Next Fest event!

The new demo has the following improvements / changes:

• Improved level 1 design, with new background and weather effects.

• Improved level 1 boss design to make it more consistent with the overall look and feel of the game.

• New basic attacks for ships / mechs that launches ‘drunken missiles’ as at Attack levels 4 and 5.

• New trailing smoke animation for special missiles and drunken missiles.

• New in-game player comms that will trigger when playing certain levels.

• Improved UI / UX interaction when using KBM.

• Improved UI colours when using either KBM or Controller.

• Extended level 2 with additional rooms, enemies and pickups.

• Removed the timer on health pickups in level 2 that made them disappear, giving the player more time to pick them up.

• Various bug fixes.

• Various other general improvements.

Importantly, this version of the demo contains the first 2 missions / levels of the game. All 8 missions will be available in the full release, coming Q1 2025.

We hope you enjoy the new version!

Take care, Tim and Carlos.
