The exclusive demo is coming out on August 20th!
Exhausted and brimming with excitement, we’re happy to finally announce that the super backers exclusive demo (Solstice Warrior package and above) will be out on August 20th!
Featuring 3 different areas to explore, the demo has been cut out of the middle portion of the game, heavily redacted to avoid spoilers, and balanced to offer an early taste of the core mechanics. While you will be encountering areas and characters that are part of the final game, we will ensure your adventures on Watcher Island feel fresh despite having played the demo!
If you are eligible for the demo, but haven’t gotten your access to the dev channel yet, simply join us on Discord and follow the instructions in the #instructions channel. To secure demo access, you need to claim your "Super Backer" or "Top Backer" role. Head over to the #support channel for any questions or issues, we're making a point to be swift and responsive!
If you haven’t backed Sea of Stars yet, there is still time to get the Solstice Warrior Package on
Backerkit, which includes access to the Super-Backer Exclusive demo and the private #dev channel. If you want to upgrade your pledge to the Solstice Warrior package, just come see us in the #support channel on
Discord.
Here are a few considerations about the demo:
- It is for PC (Windows 10) only
- It is accessed through our Discord exclusively; your Super Backer / Top Backer role is the access key
- It will be available for 1 month, from August 20th 2020 to September 20th 2020
- You are free to stream the demo, take screenshots, record footage, or otherwise share content or impressions about your time with it etc.
And one last thing!
We started a casual Twitch stream. A couple times a week, Thierry plays some retro gems to chill with the community and sometimes talk about game design.
To kick things off, the first third of the demo will be livestreamed on August 18th, at 8PM EST. Tune in on Twitch to chat with the team!
