Circle Empires 2 News

[h3]Hey everyone,
[/h3][p][/p][p]Just wanted to pop in to give a huge thank you to everyone who played the Circle Empires 2 demo during Next Fest. And an even bigger thanks to those who shared feedback, left reviews, or just spent a few hours stacking wizards on dragons.
[/p][p]We’ve gone through all your comments and suggestions, and we’re already working on implementing some of the most requested changes. We’ll be sharing more on what that looks like soon, so stay tuned!
[/p][p]If you haven’t jumped into the demo yet, good news: it’s still live and will stay up for the foreseeable future. You can still conquer some circles, test out the new mounting system, and battle for a spot on the in-game daily challenge leaderboard.
[/p][p]We’ve loved seeing how you play, what you break, and how you adapt to this new version of circular chaos. More updates soon. We’re just getting started.
[/p][p]Thanks again,[/p][p]Team Luminous[/p][p]

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3][p][/p][p]How’s the demo treating you so far? Figured out how to stack a vampire on a bear yet?
[/p][p]In case you missed it: the Circle Empires 2 demo is live now as part of Steam Next Fest! It’s our first public look at the game, and gives you a taste of the new systems, unit editor, and circle-crushing chaos we’ve been cooking up. If you want a full breakdown of what’s in the demo, check out Friday’s blog. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Getting this demo out has been an important milestone for us, and we’ve absolutely loved reading your feedback so far. If you’ve left a review, thank you! Every single one helps more players discover the game, and your thoughts are gonna be useful in shaping where we take things next. [/p][p]If you haven’t left a review yet and you’re enjoying the game, Steam Next Fest is the perfect time to do it. It helps a ton with visibility and lets us know what’s working (and what’s hilariously broken).
[/p][p]We’ve got more updates to come, but for now: have fun with the demo, let us know how it goes, and enjoy the rest of Next Fest!

[h2]Hey everyone,[/h2][p][/p][h3]We’re back, and this time you get to step into the circle![/h3][h3]The Circle Empires 2 demo is out now! 
[/h3][p][/p][p]Check out our brand-new demo trailer to see what we have in store:
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]This sequel builds on the strongest aspects of the previous games and adds huge amounts of freedom. On top of the fast-paced conquest, powerful units, and of course, gorgeous smooth circles, you can design your own units![/p][p]The unit designer allows you to select a base creature (human, ghost, frogman, vampire etc) and equip it with weapons and armor. Each creature and piece of equipment has unique advantages and drawbacks. Mermaids swim well, but frogmen move faster on land. Want to not die? Wear a helmet! Now you’ll need gold to buy that unit, though. Want to not take an arrow in the knee? Use a shield! But now it's more difficult to attack the enemies... [/p][p]Sometimes, unarmored guys with clubs are the best solution; sometimes, a vampire in full kit with a huge shield wielding a crossbow is needed for the job. [/p][p]The aim is always to make equipment choices situational without a clear best pick.
[/p][p]The landscape system has also been completely revised. You can combine layers of walls, moats, and natural obstacles to create impenetrable fortresses. Necromancer Towers freeze the land, making it unsuitable for farming. Enough catapult fire can turn beautiful grassland to desert. Water holes are great for agriculture, but really bad for worker movement – unless you plan your layout carefully (or create workers that can swim). 
[/p][p]Both the unit editor and landscape granularity are planned to be expanded heavily. We're going to put units on top of each other, allowing mounted units in the unit editor, custom-made towers, and new base creatures, weapons & terrain types.[/p][p]In this demo, you’ll get to play as 4 different leaders with unique unit selections. Explore the Full Conquest and Daily Challenge game modes and tweak your games with a handful of map sizes and difficulty settings – both in single and multiplayer! [/p][p]This is our first public slice of Circle Empires 2. We’re beyond excited to get to share it with you, and we can’t wait to hear what you all think. As always, if you have questions, comments and concerns, please leave a review on our Demo page! It’s the easiest way to help us get the demo in front of as many eyes as possible. 
[/p][p]Thank you once again for all your support, and go conquer some circles![/p][p]Luminous [/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p]
[/p]

[p]The Circle Empires 2 Demo is now available and will be playable for the entire duration of Steam Next Fest.
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Too scared to face the circles alone? To celebrate the occasion, we've asked our friend Eddiebizzle to play through the demo and record his first reactions to our newest circular spectacular. You can catch the stream over on the Circle Empires 2 Demo store page.

[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3]

We’ve been counting the days, and now it’s official: the first public demo of Circle Empires 2 goes live on June 6th as part of Steam Next Fest! 🎉

This is a huge moment for us! It’s the first time the game is out in the wild for everyone to try. Whether you’re here for the chaotic conquests, the competitive streak, or just to see what we’ve been quietly cooking up… we can’t wait to hear what you think.

So what’s in the demo?

You’ll get access to both singleplayer and multiplayer (including LAN and dedicated servers!). Four unique leaders are ready to command, each with their own twist, from the icy resolve of Wiz the Wizzrd to the undead experiments of Nethier the Necromancer.

We’ve also packed in two game modes: a classic full conquest experience and a prototype of our upcoming Daily Challenges. You’ll be able to tweak difficulty, map size, modifiers, and try out a variety of races, mounts, weapons, and structures to get a real feel for this worthy sequel!

It’s just a slice of what’s to come, but there’s a lot to sink your teeth into. We’ll be keeping an eye out during Next Fest to chat & collect feedback! So make sure to drop any feedback you have – whether it’s positive or negative – right here on Steam or over on our Discord.

June 6th. Wishlist the game. Play the demo. Tell us everything.

Got it?

See you soon,
Luminous
