The big Next Fest Demo update!

Hi, we're happy to announce that a big update of the Silence of the Siren demo is already up for everybody to try and it brings a new map which is not only fun to play, but also showcases quite a few new features. Let's have a look:

Going up!

The maps in Silence of the Siren will have different layers and this is the new Orbital layer you can visit if you find a working space port.

Or, like in the demo, if you get kicked out there for your actions against the Fossorian military. O_o



Story, scripted events and quests!

Trying not to spoil anything, but... :) The demo level starts with a bit of story and has some more character interactions that can give you a bit of a picture of how the campaign planned for EA is going to work.
Don't forget to visit the Keeper for a little side quest!



Building new buildings!

Exploiting the territory for more resources? Guarding it passively or with automatic turrets? Any commander can build a selection of structures and commanders with the Builder skill get access to more powerful version of each.



General's new clothes?

Ok, you know how game development works: iterations. This is, if we remember correctly, the fifth version of the commander card - but it's getting better and better! :)



So, these are some of the main changes in the demo introduced over the last few months. if you'd like to give the game a try yourself, the demo is already up on Steam. And as always, we'll be grateful for any feedback, bug reports, wishlists - and let's hope the game does well during the Next Fest event.

And then, the next milestone is already the EA release at the end of September. Fingers crossed!
