despelote is getting a demo for Steam Next Fest + we got 4 IGF noms?!

Hi everyone!

It is now early 2025 and we’re going to have a lot of updates on despelote for you in the coming months. 🙂



First, we’re excited to announce that despelote will be getting a public demo for Steam Next Fest! This demo will be the game's opening minutes where you will begin to explore Quito and get up to some mischief. Your save data from the demo will carry over to the final game.

That said, if you’re already sold on despelote and want to take it all in fresh once the game is out, we promise you the wait isn’t going to be very long (more to come soon 👀). Still, it would mean a lot if you could spread the word about the demo to folks who maybe have never heard of our game, it’s super appreciated and makes a huge difference.



Second, and this was totally unexpected, we were nominated for 4 Independent Game Festival awards?! - including the Seumas Mcnally Grand Prize. It’s honestly pretty hard to believe, but yeah, we will be in San Francisco on March 19th for the IGF awards with all of the awesome nominees (shout out to our publisher buds @ Coal Supper for Thank Goodness You’re Here!) wish us luck.

Now, before our demo releases on Feb 24th, we will have one more big piece of news for you. Keep an eye out.

That’s all for now!
