[p]Dear players,[/p][p][/p][p]After many sleepless nights refining the demo of STARIO: Haven Tower, we're thrilled to finally share it with you! During today’s PC Gaming Show livestream, we unveiled a brand-new trailer, and we're proud to announce our participation in the Steam Next Fest with this new demo![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Watch the trailer:[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]This new demo lets you build the first 12 layers of your haven tower from the ground up. Brave extreme weather like sandstorms, fog, and heavy rain to harness unique skyborne resources, unlock advanced construction technologies, and develop vertical logistics systems. Protect your towertizens, rediscover ancient civilizations, and push the limits of vertical expansion.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]The updated demo is estimated to have 2 to 3 (or more) hours of playtime. It expands on our core vertical building mechanics by introducing the new horizontal expanding Brace Technology, which reinforces structural stability while allowing for more flexible and expansive skyward designs. Use it to shape your tower into a breathtaking architectural marvel.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]As you stack brick upon brick toward the stars, remember: your towertizens’ needs grow with the tower. From basic survival to emotional well-being, upgrading their quality of life is key to productivity. Watch as they scurry between layers, celebrating every milestone with joy and awe.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Note to returning players:[/p][p]The new demo is not compatible with save files from before June 5. If you'd like to continue an older save, you can revert to the previous version by right-clicking the game in your Steam library, selecting Betas, and switching to the “v0.1.7_legacy” branch.[/p][p][/p][p]For full details on what’s new in the demo and how to switch versions, check out this post: [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Want to give feedback directly or share your tower builds with other players? Join our Discord, where you’ll also find exclusive community events (with rewards)![/p][p][/p][p]May your bricks and dedication give rise to a civilization that pierces the sky, against all odds.
