Phoenix Game Development

The demo is basically done now, and it due to be released, hopefully, next week, certainly by the end of the month. There are some minor issues with the game still, but I am confident that these won’t prevent an early release of the game. I have also removed some more features of the game […]

I am still working on last minute testing and improvements for the demo. I have made improvements to the player server, and tested the demo extensively on my test machine using steam. It is possible that players will need to add the game to their firewall as an exception, even though the demo is single […]

I have made various minor improvements and changes to the demo, and it should be ready to release on schedule. I still want to do some more testing before I release it, I have about a week or two to do this. Even though this is still a very early alpha build, I think there […]

The demo for Spiritus Astrum is now available in limited, closed, Beta! I have a small number of Steam Beta keys to give out. Contact me at: contact[AT]phoenixgamedevelopment[dot]com If you would like a key. The showcase post on the Unity forums is here: Unity Showcase

I have finished most of the work that was still needed for the demo, including adding in the credits menu, and adding a specific “demo mode” which disables some features, like multiplayer. I have also prepared a demo build on steam, and configured and uploaded it. This may not be the final releasable demo build, […]

The testing for the player server went very well, there were no issues found with the player server itself. I did uncover some additional issues with the build, but these were minor, and were easily fixed. The good news is that the playerserver is working properly. I may release a demo version of spiritus astrum […]
