Thanks to everyone who played the NextFest demo! I've been rapidly fixing all of the discovered bugs during the week and constantly pushing updates.

I'll keep the demo up for a few more days as I polish the game for the impending release!

Added a shader to make background objects dither when units or when the mouse cursor is behind them. What do you think?

I'm testing out a new loading screen transition. Is this too jarring?

I was with you until that last part 😅

Evan Polekoff @epolekoff.bsky.social · Mar 15

Thanks! That's a good point, I love that detail and most people don't really notice it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the demo! I'm planning to release this summer.

Evan Polekoff @epolekoff.bsky.social · Mar 12

Also funny how the curve flattens again the moment the text goes away.

Evan Polekoff @epolekoff.bsky.social · Mar 12

I love youtube shorts and their analytics. My recent video had a massive dropoff the moment I cut away from game footage and showed text on the screen. It's cool how you get immediate feedback like this to iterate and optimize.
