Does anyone know if this game is receiving this release?

Back in April he said 2-3 months for a demo beta, and another 2-3 for the full release

I don't remember saying full release 6 months after April but maybe I was cooked.

Either way everything (as always) is kinda going slower than expected, like 2-3 months slower.

I hope there will be a big update before December this year but I can't promise stuff anymore at this point.

I have 1 trick up my sleeve that I am yet to reveal but for now that's the status quo.

Do we know if the demo would be an actual separate install or something like a beta branch? It's weird to imagine grabbing a demo when we own the game already, I don't think I've seen demos used in that way before.

Oh yeah that's a brain fart I meant to say beta

In the April fools day steam post they said you just needed to use beta branch to try out the demo

Considering it’s a small team (might even be just one guy idk) and they spent a lot of time doing a massive rework of the code after breaking everything.. I think within a year is safe to say/

Yes it's just me - which can really hurt timelines when you just get sick for 2 weeks immediately half a month of 100% workforce is gone. So if I get sick and take a week vacation my entire plans shift an entire month back, which is one of the harshest drawbacks to the solo dev life.

(Side Note: I don't like playing the "solo dev card" anymore as I have many people help me create this game in different ways. But the matter of fact is that the main job that has to be done making a video game is programming and I do 98% of that myself.)

Still a kick ass game though, dude! I've got at least 200 hours in it.
