Wow. TactiCon is over now and I am totally floored by what happend. We finished on the [b]6th place[/b] in [b]Popular Upcoming[/b] games of the event coming from nothing! I was just hoping to finally get a bit of feedback and some wishlist's. But how long a lot of you play this demo is astonishing. It was only supposed to show what I'm going for, and you guys play it like a real release. All this is completely crazy to me. I am so [b]thankful[/b] for each and every player and anyone who has helped with feedback, reporting bugs or spreading the word. But this is only the very beginning. Now let's make a great game out of it! [h2]What's next?[/h2] [u][b]The demo stays up![/b][/u] You guys have so much fun it makes no sense to take it down. [h3]Short-term:[/h3] The most requested feature is probably [b]changing up the starting resources[/b] you selected. I'm thinking about a system where most of these starting resources are fixed - but you have a handful you can freely choose at the start of each run. That way I always know what starting resources are unlocked at any given point in progression and can always ensure a fair challenge. And we still have starting resource selection for different kind of runs or strategies. I'll get to that soon. If you have any other ideas for that just write me. Of course I'll keep fixing bugs and improving the demo with all the feedback. You can see a changelog of what already happend during the last days down below. [h3]Long-term:[/h3] Many players ask if they can join the alpha and see more content. But that will take some time. I'll make an announcement here and on Discord once you can apply. Of course more active community members will get access first - it's meant to get feedback after all. [h2]TactiCon Challenge EXTENDED![/h2] Bad news regarding the TactiCon Challenge : In my tests for sharing screenshots of the demo I made a mistake. It only worked because I saw my own screenshots, but you cannot access other peoples shared screenshots from the demo. I tried to find a solution with steam support, but there is nothing they can do as well. Really sorry for that! I did not anticipate so many players or that the challenge would be this motivating for you. To solve this we are going to [b]extend the challenge for 72 hours[/b]!
