Evolving beyond the demo
[h2]Hi everyone,[/h2]
Today a post about the future of Bulwark:
As you may have noticed the updates to the evolving demo have sort of trickled to a stop. This is partially natural as many issues get addressed and new options added, but I’ve also found that it’s hard for me to focus on core development when there is so much demand for changes to controls or on-boarding.
[h3]And it’s time to get some core development done. [/h3]
I want to get into the world more, develop the interactions with other factions, have proper conflict, perhaps even some naval strategy.There is also a ton of just production work I need to get done, the missing buildings and faction commanders and so forth. Basically all the good things myself and many players are dreaming of for the game.
I also need a holiday badly, this year has been quite tumultuous in unpleasant ways. So to get to the point:
[h3]After the Tiny Teams steam event august 10th , the evolving demo will be turned off and the game will go dark again. [/h3]
I am quite confident in saying that the evolving demo has brought massive changes and sometimes you all have had to be quite vocal to get your points across, but I hope and feel that the game is now so much better because of it. There are multiple control templates and options to make the game feel more accessible and there has been 6 months of iteration to get it to where it is today. And for that I am super grateful and want to thank everyone that posted here and on the discord with feedback.
[h3]Thank you![/h3]
So will there never be access to the demo? Of course not, there will be plenty of moments where the demo will be back, either as part of an event or just a quick test with the players off a new feature. But it won’t be there consistently.
I will also return to handing out more full keys for closed testing via the Discord when new features get delivered, so if you want in , head to :
[h3]https://discord.com/invite/falconeer[/h3]
So I fully expect to keep everyone updated here as to the progress and expect to be playing more advanced versions of the game here regularly.
But first a holiday!
Tomas
