So, it's Christmas and almost 2026 already. Let's talk about the demo! As previously mentioned several times, the demo is set to release in 2026. But I'll talk about that more further into this devlog.

I'd recommend watching the following video before reading the rest of the devlog, it shows 3 clips from the game that you might like to see!

As it stands right now, things are amazing! On my own playthrough of the WIP demo my save file reached 60 minutes long after completing a file. Similarly, a team member actually reached 70 minutes. I think its safe to say people first playthrough of the demo will be roughly 60-90 minutes long depending on how fast you go through some things, along some side/optional content. (Keep in mind the demo is obviously not finished yet.)

There's still a good bit of work to do in both Ruins and Snowdin, but both are fully playable without issues. We are pretty proud with the current state of the demo, and things are turning out great! Battles are turning out very nice, and I'm glad they don't feel dull or boring when playing through the game.

So, with all of this being said, when are we releasing the demo? The best I can say is I think it will be completed sometime during Quarter 2-3 of 2026? There's two factors I can't really account for.

1.) Translation to other languages(Currently only Spanish but I do want to consider more languages)
2.) Deltarune Chapter 5's release(Releasing a fangame around something like this is a bad idea because naturally Deltarune will overshadow it heavily, which means the game needs to come out sometime before chapter 5's release or sometime after)

Demo talk out of the way, heres a song release. It's been a while since we have made any new songs in the OST public, and this one was made recently for the Dogfight, and is by Yune.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed everything we showed off and talked about today. Not sure when the next time we do a devlog will be? Either way, have a nice holiday and thank you all for the support the past couple of years! It means a lot and I'm glad things are turning out the way there are!
