[h3]Release Demo[/h3]
From August 23rd to August 30th, we will be releasing a modified version of the Demo for everyone to play. The content of the Demo is the same as the version from June with some fixes. Happy gaming!

Hey all!

As July has just come to an end, we'd like to look back on where we've been, and where we're going with the development of Strike Force Heroes.



In April, we announced the start of a great collaboration with the almighty IndieArk!

Then, in June, we launched our limited early-build Demo on Steam:

To our great surprise and excitement, the Demo reached nearly 100k downloads, and Strike Force Heroes' wishlist grew by 40k!

And of course, as this was an early demo, it wasn't without it's myriad of bugs and issues!

But thanks to everyone's detailed bug reports and incredible help, we were able to track down most of the bugs to deliver a much smoother experience by the end of the demo!

However, as it was just a temporary demo, it finally came to an end on July 9th, allowing us to shift our focus to developing new and exciting content! (Well, the rest of the game!)



Since then, Mike and I (Justin) have completed the full campaign and challenges (Wooo!), featuring many never before seen cutscenes, levels, and bosses!







As we continue development, we'll be finishing up all the cutscenes, custom match modes, smoothing out the online experience, and of course the necessities (performance, controller support, etc),



At launch, Strike Force Heroes will fully support English, Simplified Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Korean, and Japanese. So you'll be able to enjoy the game in ANY language you want as long as it's in that list ;)

We're also open to adding more languages in the future.



As a tiny 2 man team, we've been aimed at bringing you a solid bug-free experience as soon as possible, and everyone has been immensely helpful so far!

We'd like to thank you all for your continued support as we work through these final months of development!
In the meantime, join our Discord, where we're much more active, and be sure to wishlist & follow us to not miss a beat! :D

Dear friends,

SFHR is scheduled to close the demo on next Monday morning at 3:00. Make sure to experience it this weekend!

During the one-month period, we received numerous suggestions and feedback from players. We have actively addressed your inquiries and fixed the issues you encountered through the community, with major updates being released once or twice a week.

Fortunately, the demo's current version is stable, allowing us to continue developing the game according to our timeline. Although this demo is coming to a close, we assure you that will provide a more stable and content-rich version closer to launch!

Additionally, in order to enhance our understanding of SFHR players and deliver a better experience in the future, we have created a player survey that will only take 5 minutes of your time to complete. We greatly appreciate your patience and support!

Todays update brings some long awaited features, and finished up the Results screen!

In addition to fully working MvP accolades, each mission now has bonus objectives to complete (which can also be seen in-game from the pause menu), as well as a more balanced point and star system!

- Points are properly obtainable in all modes to get stars.

- Main MvP is now the player on the winning team with the highest score, or most damage against bosses. (No more enemy MvP's)
- Killfeed now has updated graphics on Zombie & Suicide deaths, and now displays whether kills were headshots or not.

Fixes

- victory cutscene no longer plays if you lose the match. (Except final demo video)
