Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed, and I'm really sorry to hear what you went through. The demo plays in English by default, so you're all set. Thanks for the interest, and I hope you enjoy it if you give it a go! ❤️

Thank you all for the responses!! I will be going through and giving my honest feedback and posting videos today for as many games as I can get through over the next couple of hours. I'll tag you once I finish the video! #indiedev #indiegame #IndieGameDevs
I play indie game demos for 13 minutes, then decide: wishlist or pass? Indie devs: drop your Steam demo link below or DM me, and I'll give it an honest 13-minute test. Follow for new tests, and RT so more devs see this and get eyes on their games #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Thanks for your interest! I'm keeping keys for the giveaway and for streamers with an established channel, but you're very welcome to stream the free demo on Twitch: store.steampowered.com/app/5… It also has Portuguese (Portugal) translation! If you send me your Twitch link, I'll gladly take a look ❤️

10+ years of Java here, and it's amplified my output. Experience matters more, not less: you know what to ask for and what to reject.

Day sixty one of putting the numbers on the board. 9 hours and 2 minutes of fun today! 21 average. 30 peak. 144 unique viewers. 39 of you jumped into chat throughout the day! 282 live views and 2 new followers along the way. We keep building.
Been thinking about what the next goal is for the Sandbox. I think it's time we make a real push for Twitch Partner. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just keep showing up, keep building, and see how far we can take this thing. Let's see what happens.

Honest feedback is the best kind, thank you! Just on enemy variety, the demo only shows a slice of the game and the full version has a lot more. It also has full controller support, if you'd prefer to play on a pad instead of the keyboard - appreciate not everyone has one, but the option is there! I'll definitely reach out when the full game is out on 16 Nov ❤️

Indie Game Devs check this out! Do you have games out now on the steam store (must be single player) under £5 GBP and have a demo, playtest or you can spare a key. If I enjoy it, I will gift my Twitch supporters! #indiegame #indiedev #IndieGameDevs #IndieGameTrends
