08. Demo 2.0 has just been released!



Dear players.
It is finally here! Demo 2.0 is now available!
You can play the game on this site, or you can find it over on the online Christmas SAGE event, found here: https://www.sagexpo.org/index.html ). That's also the reason why I waited a little bit with this announcement, as I did not want to ruin their surprise. Although some eagle eyed followers might have noticed the early builds, I stealthily put up for testers, earlier this week.
So what's new?
- A compact intro area leading up to the earlier demo dungeon (= about 10 min of extra gameplay)
- More world building and characters to meet
- Energetic new music from a new composer
(Who I may also have redo the earlier dungeon music, so feedback on the new style is most welcome!)
- More Murray!!
- A new item: the shovel
- More bugfixes and stability updates
- And of course all the incremental improvements added between demo 1.0 and 1.5
Hope you enjoy! And please leave the game if you've had had a chance to play it and enjoyed it.
Oh, and as a little cliffhanger:
I've also been hard at work expanding the game in other areas for the upcoming trailer. So look forward to that as well in the nearby future.
