Hey there, film enthusiasts!

We've got exciting news to share today! As part of the Steam Next Fest: June 2023 Edition, we're giving you a backstage pass to Blockbuster Inc. That's right, the demo is now live and ready for you to take the director's chair! Simply hop over to our Steam page and try it out yourself!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2422680/Blockbuster_Inc_Demo

This demo provides an opportunity to get a taste of the limelight, allowing you to step into the shoes of a movie studio mogul. From building your own studio, scouting for emerging talents, to producing and directing groundbreaking films and TV shows - Blockbuster Inc. brings the glitz, glamour, and strategic planning of Hollywood right to your screen.

"Releasing this demo is a truly exciting moment for the entire team, as we are thrilled to finally present a slice of the Blockbuster Inc. universe to our eager audience," said Maksymilian Strzelecki, Co-Founder of Ancient Forge. "This game, with its unique premise and immersive gameplay, has been a labor of love for Super Sly Fox and us alike. We're confident that this demo will offer players a compelling taste of the rich, cinematic journey that lies ahead in the full version. We eagerly await player feedback to help shape the final product and make Blockbuster Inc. the de facto movie studio simulation experience out there."

There have been a lot of questions from our community surrounding the actual movie-making features in the game. Rest assured, within the demo, you will be able to get hands-on with the game's novel 'Direct Scene' feature. This innovative mechanic hands over full creative control, allowing you to direct scenes, guide actors, adjust lighting, and manipulate camera angles to create cinematic masterpieces.

Keep in mind this is but a snapshot of the game, and we're still fine-tuning, tweaking, and adding more shine for the full release. Your feedback from this demo will be incredibly valuable as we shape Blockbuster Inc. into the ultimate movie studio simulation experience.

If you want to stay up-to-date, be sure to join our Discord community of wannabe movie directors and follow the game on Twitter and Facebook.

So, grab the popcorn, settle into the director's chair, and let's get the cameras rolling! We can't wait to see the magic you create. Don't forget to share your thoughts and first impressions with us. It's showtime!

Thank you,
Super Sly Fox & Ancient Forge
