We're ending the season on 3/31 and extending the next one to 4/30. In other words, we decided not to close the demo on steam in the near future and to update the season every month. Wait for the winners to be announced and small balance changes!
As we wrote in the last newsletter, we are not doing a serious demo update right now because we want to focus on the full version. After all, who would buy the full game version if we gave everything away in the demo? Nobody—that's who!
But we can show you a couple monsters from the full game that will never appear in the demo:
And we'll share our plans with you. Here are the primary goals we've set for ourselves for the near future:
We also made a lot of new mutations which will render all your honed strategies useless, hah! And we're planning even more, so share any new mutations you'd like to see in the comments.

And we'll share our plans with you. Here are the primary goals we've set for ourselves for the near future:
- "Cool Bosses." The Octoboss is definitely not right for this role. This is actually the second minion that appeared in the game about a year ago. So, it's time to create someone cool!
- "Starter Kits." We always planned for the player to start by choosing from set starter kits instead of with 5 newbies and a store. Besides humans, a starter kit also includes starter mutations, but it could include something even crazier. Oldies can compare it to "chips" in Despotism 3k
- "New quests." Everyone already went for the T-Virus. We need new stories!
- "Autoplacement"—we're experimenting with it, and it's going well. Whether to use it is up to the player—you will still have to place certain humans manually, but it will speed things up.
- "NecroLOG"—some people asked about adding an option to view which of the player's units died in battle. We're working on it!
We also made a lot of new mutations which will render all your honed strategies useless, hah! And we're planning even more, so share any new mutations you'd like to see in the comments.
