Desynced News

Greetings to all! Due to popular demand and ELAIN's ever-helpful advice, Desynced will be participating in Steam Next Fest from February 6th to February 13th 10AM PST! Not only will the demo remain up for the duration, we'll be pushing a small update to show those already following us some changes we've made. Great time to jump back in! Tell your friends who haven't played yet! Tell your Bots and Bugs to wishlist it!

Q: What the heck is Next Fest?
A: It's a "multi-day celebration" of upcoming games on Steam. See the official details here

Q: Will the demo still be coming down at some point?
A: Yes, but not before Next Fest ends and we will announce it before it happens as detailed here.


Q: What does this mean for Early Access launch?
A: We're not ready to announce a date just yet. You only get to participate in one Next Fest before release, though, so...probably sooner than you think!

Q: Will my save from the demo still work?
A: We're doing everything we can to make this possible!

We wanted to highlight a video today by Thom, who has never touched the Desynced modding tools before but was able to make this cool video! It's a custom scenario in LUA that runs in real-time! We can't wait to see what the community can come up with! Feel free to share it on your social media![previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

*Update* The public test server is now closed. Thanks everyone who helped us test!



-------old-------
For the next couple of days we're running "Stage Test Server" to test the limits
of how many people can be in the game before it starts lagging, etc. The theoretical limits have yet to be tested (can we get to 999 players??). Feel free to join, open factions, start a new base together, lock your factions and play alone, etc and keep it connected!

Get and/or start the Demo, and then join "Stage Test Server"! Your cooperation is much appreciated!
