Next Fest Wrap-Up! (Demo Closing Date & Info)

Asterika: Phantom Rose Refrain · published

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!

Steam Next Fest has officially come to a close, and I want to extend a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who downloaded, and played the Asterika demo over the last week.

Festival by the Numbers

To celebrate the event, I wanted to share an infographic summarizing some of the most notable stats from the festival!

What’s Next & Demo Deactivation Date

The current Next Fest demo will remain online for a little while longer so anyone who didn't get a chance to play over the weekend can still jump in!

The demo will officially go offline on Tuesday, July 7th.

After that, I will be taking the servers down to clean up the backend database, wipe the temporary leaderboards, and focus entirely on polishing the final build for launch.

If you haven't had a chance to give the current tracks one last run, now is the time! And if you want to help Asterika make it onto Steam’s upcoming release calendars, please make sure to add the game to your wishlist.

Thank you all again for an amazing Next Fest!
