Anima Flux Big Demo Update!

[h2]Hello everyone![/h2]

It's been quite a while since we last updated our game's demo version, but the time has finally come! We're excited to present to you a detailed breakdown of all the new features in the update (well, almost all of them), now available to everyone on Steam!

We've been hard at work refining and adding exciting new content, and we can't wait for you to dive in and experience it for yourselves. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, we hope you'll enjoy what we've prepared for you.

So without further ado, fire up your Steam client and update your demo version now! And don't forget to let us know what you think – your feedback helps us continue to improve and polish the game to perfection.

[h3]Combat System Enhancements:[/h3]
  • New Abilities: Characters now have new abilities from the beginning of the game to diversify combat.
  • Swordsman now has the Stagger Attack - a lunging strike that stuns enemies in front of you. Stunned enemies take double damage from your regular attacks.


  • Archer's new Rebound Attack - allows you to leap backward while firing an arrow, creating a short-lived decoy that absorbs enemy attacks.


  • Empowered Special Attacks: Each character now has a gauge to enhance special attacks, which fills by meeting certain conditions.

[h3]Improved Guide System:[/h3]
  • No more excuses for not learning the controls! A handy guide is now available in the pause menu, providing a clear overview of the basic gameplay mechanics.


[h3]Enhanced Gameplay Experience:[/h3]
  • Automatic Aiming: The archer now automatically locks onto the nearest enemy, while manual aiming remains available.
  • Button Buffer: Attacks, jumps, or dashes are automatically triggered after the previous action, enhancing fluidity in combat.
  • Gamepad Vibration: Feel the intensity of the battle with the new gamepad vibration options, which provide subtle feedback for minor damage and stronger pulses for heavy blows or character death.
  • Rage Mode Balancing: Unleash mayhem for extended periods with the rebalanced Rage Mode, which no longer stuns enemies but features a significantly longer duration and removes the previous penalty for early deactivation.


Note: This update includes various minor fixes and improvements to enhance overall gameplay experience.

Anima Flux GDC 2024 Summary

The Anima Flux team embarked on an incredible adventure in San Francisco, participating in the GDC 2024 events! Over five days at the exhibition, we conducted a showcase, pitched our game, and met with mass media, publishers, and other representatives of the gaming industry. Let's walk through our experience step by step.



The 2024 Game Developers Conference hosted nearly 30,000 registered attendees for five full days of inspiring sessions and networking opportunities with peers and leaders in the games industry. GDC 2024 featured over 1,000 speakers across 730 sessions, workshops, roundtable discussions, and networking opportunities. Additionally, over 300 top game industry companies exhibited their latest innovations.

Among the approximately 50 teams participating in the showcase, Anima Flux made it into the top 10 finalists of the GDC Pitch! This granted us the opportunity to pitch our game to a wide audience. Each finalist was allocated 5 minutes to present the game, team, and development roadmap, followed by feedback and questions from a panel of three judges.



The showcase buzzed with energy, drawing significant interest from the audience at our booth.



In addition to the positive feedback, we carefully listened to the comments and wishes of the players. This feedback was invaluable, especially considering that we unveiled an updated demo version that will soon be available on Steam, offering players from around the world a chance to experience it firsthand.



As every adventure must eventually conclude, we're grateful to GDC for the warm welcome and the opportunity to interact in person with both players and game development professionals. This experience marks another significant milestone on our journey towards release!
