At $30K, we'll unlock a first-person camera, letting you walk through your factories and inspect your assembly lines up close. If you haven't backed yet, now’s the time!

Here are some of the Reward Tiers that are still available:

• PRODUCER: Early Access copy + work-in-progress builds + name in credits + special Discord role.
  
• EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: All of the above + name a colonist!
  
• PILOT: All previous perks + an exclusive 3D-printed Magpie dropship + name an in-game spaceship!

Plus, all backers enter a raffle to become the face of the new space pirate faction leader terrorizing Kobayashi Schwarz!

Two dawns remain—let’s make them count!

Ready to set up a colony on the planet Sirius B 3 and start your intergalactic mining operation? Dawn Apart's first official demo is finally out!

You can download it now from our dedicated demo page - and if you enjoy the roughly 2 hours of content feel free to leave a review and back us on Kickstarter!

For those of you who haven't had a chance to give it a try, we hope you have fun. And even for seasoned playtesters there is a bunch of stuff now in the game that you may have not seen before. Here’s what’s to expect:

• Explore an expanded, handcrafted voxel planet featuring various biomes (desert, savannah, rainforest), cool landmarks, and sprawling water bodies
  
• Follow a tutorial teaching you the basics of crafting, automating, and optimizing your assembly lines
  
• Trade precious Lucrum 115 for goods and more prospectors in your self constructed space ports
  
• Manage the needs and priorities of your landing party. Provide them with sleeping quarters and ensure Sirius B 3 is not their final resting place.

Oh, and while you’re at it - please check out our ongoing Kickstarter campaign. Thanks to almost 500 backers, the campaign has been fully funded! BUT the best is yet to come: We're close to hitting our first stretch goal, which is adding full modding support.

We offer a bunch of special reward tiers, for example our popular ‘Producer’ tier, which nets you a spot in Dawn Apart’s ending credits, a special discord role, and of course a Steam key for the game- including constant bi-weekly WIP builds all the way to the Early Access release this Summer so you can closely follow the development until launch!

Also we have hit our third social goal of the campaign: Thanks to now more than 70k people having wishlisted the game, you'll soon be able to roam Sirius B 3 in Mechs! (next Social Goal: Trains!!!)

So tldr: Please check out the demo - and if you have a good time, leave a review or back us on Kickstarter! Thank you and see you on Sirius B 3!
