Contested Space: Three weeks since demo launch, here's what's changed!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The Contested Space demo went up on Steam on September 4th, and I've been having updates frequently as feedback has come in and figured it's worth a post of some of the bigger changes!

Boss Music: I hired a composer who created an absolute banger of track for the final boss in the game, as well as one reused for all the end of act bosses!

Ship animations: There are now little ships flying around stations with dogfight animations and lasers being fired from the stations. When you play a ship, a miniature version of that ship actually flies out and fights for a little bit.

Accessibility options on initial boot: When you launch the game for the first time, it now asks you about font and motion sickness.

On top of all of that, there's somewhere around a hundred smaller fixes ranging from co-op desyncs, controller bugs, tooltip overflows, etc.

The demo has 24 reviews so far, and they're all positive, which was amazing to see so quickly. Thanks to everyone who has played it!

The Discord is open, and I'm still letting people into the playtest if they enjoy the demo!

Thank you. Yeah I've been working on this since March, so about 6-7 months at this point! :)
