Played 71 hours in the last three days? Think you've got the Desynced demo mastered? Wanna see how a different approach can speed things up? Then this challenge is for you!
During the Base Builder Fest submit a screenshot of your fastest time in the demo and see how you stack up!
On January 29th at 9PM JST (12PM UTC), the devs will stream and try to beat your times while answering questions you have!
Also be on the lookout for devs dropping in community streams all week!

Rules:

- Start a single or multiplayer game in the Demo Version
- Seed must be set to "0"
- All other options left at default
- Play until you get the splash screen that shows you your time
- Single and co-op times both ok to submit!
- Post a screenshot of the demo ending and your time in the Steam Community thread, on the Stage Games Discord, or on Twitter (make sure to tag it with #desyncedgame).
- KEEP YOUR SAVE! We will need it to verify the authenticity of the fastest times.
- Feel free to post times up to and beyond the end of Base Builder Fest! We'll challenge those we get by the start of the dev stream on the 29th!

We're excited to share that Desynced demo will be featured during the Steam Base Builder Fest starting January 23rd!

Of course, the demo supports multiplayer and saves are planned to work with the release version! See how fast you can finish it before it's gone and give it a wishlist!

Desynced limited-time demo is up RIGHT NOW on Steam, available for everyone right on the store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1450900/Desynced/?utm_source=discord

Play alone or in MULTIPLAYER with other demo players. Saves from the demo(should) carry over when we release the game to retail!

Things to note:

• Like the alpha, there are no restrictions on streaming or otherwise showing the demo to others.
  
• the demo is limited to the first Robots tech tree. Bet you can still get pretty dang creative with that!
  
• There are missing story-related explorables and story elements (NO SPOILERS!)
  
• Saves from the alpha do not work with the demo, but they should work the other way (demo -> alpha)
  
• Likewise, alpha version and demo cannot play together. If you wanna jam with your friends, make sure you're playing the same version.
  
• You may notice that the demo records your completion time. More on this soon..
