Steam Next Fest may be over soon, but it doesn’t mean the fun needs to end as well. We have exciting news to share with you. Moriana herself has reached out to express her delight in spending time with you all - decimating armies of valiant knights, amassing legions of the undead, and generally reveling in the mayhem. Inspired by her enthusiasm, we've decided to EXTEND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE BE MY HORDE DEMO by one week! We hope this extension will provide more players with the opportunity to experience the game. But that's not all… We have one more important announcement.

[h2]CHANGING THE LAUNCH DATE[/h2]

Your feedback on Be My Horde has been invaluable, and we sincerely appreciate your support in helping us shape the game into the best possible experience! The insights gained from the demo have been instrumental, and we've carefully considered your suggestions for enhancements and adjustments. We see that you want much more from Be My Horde. Thus, recognizing the immense potential of this title, we've decided to expand upon the concept and transform it into a bigger project than initially planned.



After a long discussion, we've concluded that postponing the Early Access launch by several months is the best course of action. This extension will provide us with the necessary time to further develop and refine the game, ensuring it realizes its full potential without the constraints of unnecessary time pressure. We are committed to delivering a truly exceptional gaming experience, and we will announce the exact launch date as soon as it's finalized.

PS. Please note that the submission deadline for the Horde Contest will conclude with Steam Next Fest at 10:00am (PST) / 7:00pm (CET).

Praise be Moriana!

[h2]Hello, Horde![/h2]

There are more and more of you playing the Be My Horde demo every day, and we couldn't be more excited about it! Thank you for your support for our project and all the feedback you provide us. It's super valuable and will help us improve our game.

You still have time to check out Be My Horde for yourself; the demo will be available until the end of Steam Next Fest. Also, don't forget to take part in the Horde Contest where you can win one of three keys to the full game! How to do it? Check out our previous announcement for more info HERE.

In the meantime, we'd like to take you on a journey behind the scenes of our project with the inaugural devlog episode in which we take a closer look at our protagonist - Moriana. What was the idea behind this character and how exactly did she come to be? You can watch it here:

[h2]We already announced it in the previous message, but here just to confirm and set proper events:[/h2]

On February 7th and February 11th at 11:30 am PST, our colleague from the Polished Games team will be live streaming the Be My Horde demo here on Steam. You will have the chance to ask him some questions in the chat and... see how terrible he is at our own game. It's true, we chose him for this task because he's the worst at BMH among all of us, and it might be fun to watch him struggle. So, anyway, join us on Wednesday and Sunday!

[h2]Hello, Horde![/h2]

The time has arrived for you to join the battle and unleash chaos upon the forces of good. The Be My Horde demo is now available as part of the Steam Next Fest! Step into the shoes of Moriana, the formidable necromancer, and obliterate your enemies, resurrect fallen opponents, and create the largest horde of undead warriors in history!

[h2]DEMO AVAILABLE NOW[/h2]

Check it out and feel free to share your feedback with us on the Steam forum or on our Discord. The demo offers one level, four types of units, and three abilities that you can unlock with the souls of defeated enemies. The time required to finish it will heavily depend on your skill. We hope you'll have a blast creating your own unstoppable horde! :)

But that’s not all - we have two more exciting things to share with you!

[h2]THE HORDE CONTEST[/h2]



We have a small contest for you related to the published demo. There are THREE STEAM KEYS for the full version of Be My Horde to win, and to have a chance to get one of them, you need to amass the largest horde possible!
Here's how it looks:

💀 Download the demo and play it.
💀 After each death, you’ll see an ending screen with some statistics about your run. The most important one for this contest is MAX ARMY.

💀 Take a screenshot of the entire screen and post it on the “Your-Score” thread on our Discord server.
💀 You have time until the end of Steam Next Fest (February 12th, 10:00 AM Pacific).

The three largest results in MAX ARMY will be the winning ones!

Feel free to try multiple times, exploring different strategies, but the last screenshot you submit on our Discord server before the end of the festival will be considered the final submission. The Steam keys will be sent to the winners on February 29th when we release Be My Horde in early access.

[h3]Good luck and have fun![/h3]

You will find more terms & conditions HERE.



[h2]DEVELOPER LIVESTREAM[/h2]

On February 7th and February 11th at 11:30 AM Pacific, we’re going to do livestreams here on Steam, assuming we don’t break anything and properly set up the stream in OBS. Our colleague from the studio will play the Be My Horde demo and gladly answer all your questions you'll have a chance to ask in the chat. So, set your reminders and join us on Wednesday and Sunday. Please be gentle; the stream will be conducted in English, but we’re not native speakers.



That’s it for now. We will have more cool stuff to share with you during the festival, but that’s for later. Now, without further ado, we want to invite you to try the demo for yourself and share your feedback with us! We're eager to improve Be My Horde based on your notes before the early access launch on February 29th.
