Hi everyone, We just wanted to jump on here and let you know that our demo is back for the [b]Steam Next Fest[/b]! We've been tweaking the demo and fixing bugs that have been spotted, but if you do notice anything that doesn't quite work right please do let us know. 🧡 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42492896/65f99433f4eb89a14fdcad1c460171a3c4c58554.gif[/img] [h3][b]Build your chicken-legged home![/b][/h3] Our demo lets you[b] explore the first section of REKA[/b], where you can venture out into the mysterious woodlands, meet the legendary witch, Baba Jaga, and begin to build and decorate your very own chicken-legged hut. 🐔 Having our demo live is always such an exciting experience for us as we love reading through your comments. To keep things all in one place and to make it a little easier for you, [b]we wanted to cover off some questions we've seen popping up recently[/b]... [h3][b]Frequently Asked Questions[/b][/h3] [b]When is REKA launching?[/b] Announced during the [b]PC Gaming Show[/b], our new trailer revealed that REKA is launching in August. This is a little later than we had originally planned, but we wanted to make sure we had enough time to polish our game and implement important feedback we received from our playtests. Thank you so much for your ongoing support, we can't wait to finally show you more of our game! 🍄 [b]Will REKA have Steam Deck support?[/b] We don't have official Steam Deck support yet, but this is something we are looking into for Early Access. We can't say for sure whether this is something we will have Day 1 for launch, but this is ideally what we are working towards. [b]Will there be voice acting?[/b] Voice acting is not currently planned. We're always open to hearing community requests, however voice acting would be a pretty big one for us to do as a small indie studio. We've been focusing our efforts on the exploration and house-building aspects of REKA, and we hope that the world will still feel immersive without VO. [b]Can we stream the demo?[/b] Yes, please feel free to make content from the demo. Unless it's a closed playtest, we're happy for you to stream our game. 🔮 [b]There's optimisation issues with the demo, are these being fixed?[/b] We're aware of the problems with optimisation, and thank you so much for flagging them! Optimisation is a big focus for us in the run up to launch, and our team is working hard to iron out these issues and make improvements. [b]Is the demo localised?[/b] Our demo is not localised at the moment. We're still working through translations, and currently our demo is only playable in English. Very sorry if you're unable to play because of this. [b]What languages will REKA be localised in?[/b] For Early Access, REKA will be playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian. [b]Will there be controller support?[/b] Controller support is something we are working on, and ideally hoping to have ready for Early Access. We will keep you updated with our progress on this!
