Regular updates are back - working on a new game mode.
The holidays are over, and we are finally getting back to our regular posting schedule. As we've mentioned a few times earlier, we are working on a new game mode and some additional improvements to X-Morph: Defense. We are preparing to start an open beta for the new game mode on Steam. We can't do that on consoles so Xbox One and PS4 players will have to wait a bit until the new game mode is in a shippable state. Do you have any tips or wishes on how an open beta for the new game mode should be run?
We've also noticed a new community made map in the workshop! We promise to give it a highlight next week.
X-Morph: Defense Free Demo is now available.
A free demo version of X-Morph: Defense is now available for download directly from Steam (look for a "Download Demo" button on the right side of the store page):

If you weren't sure if X-Morph: Defense was your type of game or if your machine can handle it, now you can check that out stress-free at no cost. This demo includes the first campaign mission and will give you a good feel for how the game plays.
The demo instantly converts to the full version of the game and save game progress carries over, so the transition is seamless if you decide to purchase.

We are planning to make additional tutorial videos that cover more advanced Level Design topics. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us to steer future development of the game.
