Shoddy - "Pre Next Fest" Demo Available!

Demo Available - But Temper your Expectations

I have made the demo available to the public, in order to hopefully get some feedback.

It is still very rough around the edges, shoddy if you will, so please forgive any bugs you encounter, I am sure there are plenty!

Lingering Bugs

There is also a lot of content that is missing or just somewhat wrong.

For instance, talking to Zebras and some other monsters does not currently work. Some characters may think they are in the Great Abyss, and there also seems to be a bug when fleeing from enemies. I will be working on these as well as any new reports, so please feel free to let me know about your experience.

These and a few other things are my top priority leading up to Next Fest, so I hope to have all this working more thoroughly by then.

Only Cats

Also, currently you can choose to start with an alliance with Zoogs, Men of Leng, Ghouls and Cats, but only Cats will actually appear in the demo at this time.

New Content

Obviously it's not all bad news. I spent a lot of time introducing new content and updating some of the game mechanics. I am very excited about the direction the game is taking, but it is a really big process, and there is a lot more to be done.

It's not going to be as immediate an experience as the first game. Of course you can try to jump right in to exploration and combat as always, but the game will be giving players a lot more room to discover things and solve problems without resorting to combat.

The current demo is still more like the original game, as these things have not been fully implemented yet.
