Demon Lord: Just a Block News

[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]I’m YuWave, the solo developer of Demon Lord: Just a Block.[/p][p]The full game is almost here and will launch on April 29. Before anything else, thank you so much for all the support so far — especially to the 40,000+ players who downloaded and played the demo. Your support has carried this game all the way to release.[/p][p][/p][h2]The Demo Is Going Away Soon[/h2][p]As the full release gets closer, the current demo no longer fully represents the content and quality of the final version. Also as a solo developer, I need to put all of my remaining time and energy into polishing the full game for launch.[/p][p][/p][p]Because of that, the demo will be removed from Steam on April 15 at 1:00 am Pacific Time. After that point, it will no longer be available to download or play, even if it is already in your Steam library.[/p][p][/p][p]So if you have been curious about the game but have not tried it yet, this is your final chance to play the 98% positive-rated demo before it disappears.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Full Release on April 29[/h2][p]Demon Lord: Just a Block is a grid-based action roguelite built around movement, timing, and decision-making.[/p][p][/p][p]Enemies only act after you act, which means you can think through every step while still enjoying the thrill of dodging, parrying, repositioning, and creating powerful build synergies.[/p][p][/p][p]If that sounds like your kind of game, please wishlist Demon Lord: Just a Block and come back on April 29 for the full release.[/p][p][/p][p]Try the demo before it is gone. And if you enjoy it, wishlisting the game is one of the biggest ways you can support me.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]See you on April 29![/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Follow the Game[/h3][p]Want to keep up with development and future updates?
