That’s right! Engraved Establishment is appearing on the Vortex Charity Livestream, but not to play Demo 1, but an exclusive EARLY VERSION of Demo 2! What’s in it? What will that mean for the rest of you at home?

The Vortex Team was originally going to play Demo 1 right after my interview with them. Still, I decided that I should be able to give them an early version of Demo 2 (a suped-up Demo 1). It’ll be shown on July 15 at 9:45 AM EST.

First will be the interview with Alpine, who will have his own questions to ask (I believe?), then be playing the early version of Demo 2 LIVE. I'll also be there answering any questions from the live chat!

This EARLY VERSION is ONLY the Demo 1 day/night, but includes these general notes:

• Save File Conversions to Demo 2

• General Bug Fixes

• UI/QoL/Balance Changes

• Visual Polish

• 5 New Enemies

• Featuring the Brand New Minigames and Faz-Rating system!

Reminder, this is NOT THE FULL DEMO 2. This is an EARLY VERSION of it that the team and I were able to make in the 5-6 months of development.

Any creators and/or developers in the Vortex Charity Stream will be able to play it (if they want to) after the Engraved Establishment segment is over.

PLUS, I will be RELEASING THE EARLY VERSION DEMO 2 ON GAMEJOLT AND ITCH AFTER THE CHARITY EVENT!

Currently, by the time I’m writing this, Windows versions work incredibly well. Mac ports have been a challenging process; currently, it's not reading any of the compressed images at all, and it constantly fails loading the scenes because of it. I haven't tried Linux yet, but I assume it's the same issue. So sadly, many of you are going to have to wait even longer for the game to be on Mac and Linux until I can eventually get them working and published on the site.

But if you’re wondering what will be in the FINAL Demo 2, hopefully launching at the end of this year, I’m planning to have everything that’s in the early version PLUS:

• All the new items and animatronics in the tycoon section

• New-er Minigames

• New Nights

• More New Enemies

• Endless Tycoon Save Files to share, import, and edit.

• Balance Changes (depending on what critiques are from the public, early version)

That way, everything still has something new for everyone to enjoy before and after Demo 2 is fully released!

I hope that everyone will get a chance to see it on the Charity Stream and hopefully donate money to the people who are in need. If you can’t donate, just be sure to share it around or stick around to watch, and a huge thank you to the Vortex Team for having me be a part of this event!
