Ah! Infinitron! You beat me to it!
I've screwed up the date; it's the 14th, not the 17th. Arghhh... sorry about this.

Nonetheless, thank you so much for sticking with me and providing tons of feedback. The game's journey is just beginning, and I will appreciate any feedback you may have so the game's experience can be improved, even though there's still a lot missing in the demo.

Some further details about the demo:
It's a fully playable mission; think of it as a small game. From watching people play it, you should expect about 3 or 4 hours of gameplay, depending on how much you explore the enemy's compound.

Good luck.

Btw, do you know if the game will work on the Steam Deck? If not, is it something you intend to check on or work towards with the full release?

Thanks! I'm not aiming at Steam Deck as the UI is optimized for large screens, keyboard, and mouse. I'm not 100% certain it won't happen, but I will only evaluate it after the full release; I have to make sure that the work needed to adapt the UI pays off.

The Lord says to forgive. So, let's not hold onto the transgressions of the past. I hereby forgive you in the name of the Lord, and with that, you are forgiven Ularis Badler.

Anyway, looking forward to the demo. Will probably do a write-up with my impressions.

Edit:

I mean, you made it into this list so I got to follow up

This is about what I figured. It just seems that turn based tactics games do pretty well on the Deck and people seek them out for it. No idea on what that actually means in terms of ROI though.

This is true, but consider that the aiming system in Archrebel requires pixel precision because you will aim using 2D physics rather than aiming at the tile a unit sits in. Additionally, the text size worries me a lot; I think the font is too small for such a small screen. I know I wouldn't be able to play it with my aged eyes. But let's see what the future holds in store for us.

Well, it's my blog Been following the game for a while now. Been writing about it, but so far just minor tidbits. So, the demo is going to be interesting.

Worked fine for me, I played a bit.

So there is a lot of memeiness right off the bat - you get Sid Vicious as one of the squad members and you find out they killed Kenny.

Dunno, this might not be everyone´s cup of tea, but we will see how this goes. I dont have time to play the whole mission now, but will definitely get to it over the weekend.

I think only those who played the original Rebelstar will recognize Sid Vicious. Apart from Kenny, there are a couple of references to the Aliens movie, and another one to the Lord of the Rings.

Played for an hour. I can't believe how polished it feels.
