TEXNOPLAZM Next Fest updated demo + release date news

"Where did he go?"

Short answer: I was deep in development.
Now, the news you've been waiting for:

TEXNOPLAZM joins Steam Next Fest with a freshly updated demo!

This new demo is a vertical slice—you’ll play through the latest version of the opening levels after the whole thing went through multiple rounds of internal rebalancing, and...
you'll also get a peek at new mechanics and features from later in the game, so that you can get a compact but rich preview of the full experience.

"okay cool but when d-"

The game launches in Early Access later this summer!

A full announcement about the EA launch is coming soon, so stay tuned.

For now, here’s a quick rundown of the key changes in this new demo:
(THIS UPDATE DELETES PREVIOUS SAVE FILES)

• Global rebalance to attacks/weapons/enemies

• Added a Flying Kick to the Player's punch moveset

• Added Piledrive special move, unlockable at the Upgrade Station found in the demo
