Demo Update & Steam Playtest Details!

Harvest Scream · published 19 May 2026, 18:20 UTC

Hey everyone,

First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the game and shared this journey with me.

About the Demo

I have officially retired the public demo from Steam today. The game has evolved significantly! I have added a ton of new features, made the gameplay much more fun, and it is now a multiplayer experience where you can farm together with your friends.

Previously, I updated the demo with a short, 10-minute preview because I really wanted to share the latest, more fun state of the game with you. However, since making a multiplayer game takes a lot of time and focus as a solo developer, I couldn't add a lot of new content to that specific 10-minute demo. For instance, just implementing the voice chat feature into the game took me an entire month!

Since that preview version is now quite far behind the current development build, maintaining and updating it alongside the main game has become difficult. To move forward efficiently, I have decided to fully focus my energy on the Early Access release.

About the Playtest

Steam Playtest sign-ups are currently open! Since the Early Access release date is getting close, I may accept over 100 players depending on how things go. I am aiming to upload and launch the playtest build on Steam around late June.

Keep an eye on the Steam page and make sure to click the "Request Access" button to secure your spot!
