Demo Update (0.4.0)

Artificial Selection
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey everyone! 

In preparation of the early access release later this year, I made a few changes to the demo:

  • Edited script:
    Much of the dialogue has been changed or entirely rewritten to add more depth to the plot and characters.
  • Updated graphics:
    All characters except for Saeva have new faces, and there's a new UI, title screen, and logo.
  • Parallax effect:
    The mouse cursor moves the camera around, making characters pop out from the background.
  • So many settings:
    The game can be customized just how you want it.
  • And more!

However, there has also been a "downgrade", in a sense:

  • The demo is significantly shorter now (~30 minutes)

This was done to make the demo easier to maintain. The longer the demo is, the more likely it is that I'll go back and change something - but now, I'm pretty certain what you see in the demo is how it'll be in the final game.

Since the early access launch is still a few months away, I've worked out a compromise for those who are curious about the new screenshots: Insider supporters on Ko-fi or BMAC can play a Beta Version containing the first 3 hours of the game, and tons of new content!

I'll keep working hard to make the early access release happen.

Thank you for your continued support and patience!
