It has taken longer than initially expected, but the game has grown and now has a unique identity that sets it apart from other games in the genre. Part of this growth means that the current state of the game is of a significantly higher quality than what is shown on the store-page and demo, so moving forward I will be taking down the demo and working to improve what is shown on the store page.

addedHourglass Games HardwareUp until now, the game has been developed on a laptop with a mere 8 GB of RAM. While this is great for ensuring that the game can run on even the lowest-end of hardware, this isn't great for developing games as compilation times are long and Unity is constantly crashing or complaining in one way or another. I've purchased a new computer which will significantly improve productivity, and allow for future updates and games to be of an even higher quality than what is offered in Vespia: Shield of Aberration.
