Demo 2.0: Release date and trailer

Apr 26

It took some time, and many iterations, but the trailer for Demo 2.0 is finally here! And with that, I've decided on the new demo's release date as well:

The Demo 2.0 will release on 8th May 2026

There will be a full changelog around the time of release, so I'll be short – this new version of the demo matches the latest state of the game, and is as close as possible to what one day will be the full game.

This includes:

All balance changes
All bug fixes
Plenty of visual improvements (tone mapping for each act, object highlights on everything, new weapon sprites, and much more)
Most importantly – the mini-boss enemies!

The demo will contain the first 3 Acts of the game in full – including:

All 30 levels
6 bonus levels (10+2 per act)
3 of the mini-bosses
The first major boss of the game

Also you will have access to:

4 player ships
6 class 1 weapons
5 class 2 weapons (including the new elemental plasma weapons and the unlockable boss weapon)

As a whole, I'm pretty happy with this new demo. It looks and plays way better than before, and the mini-bosses fill the acts before the main boss nicely!

Getting back to the game after the Easter 2026 holidays

Apr 20

As per usual, mid‑April was dominated by Easter celebrations and a couple of personal occasions (including my birthday) as well. So except for the Easter‑inspired video that I produced for the game, I barely worked on it.

I went back and backported all changes made specifically on the demo branch to the full game before I forgot what they were, and now the full game contains all of the small and big changes and bugfixes.

But from this week, that's about to change! I have a clear goal for the demo's trailer and have already picked out some of the clips that will be included. So this week will be all about the new trailer and figuring out the right release date for the demo.

Demo v2: Week 10 – The demo v2 is completed

Apr 6

Great news – the work on the new updated demo version of The Battle for Vega is done! It took almost three times the work I was planning for, but I found a huge amount of bugs that were present in the full game as well, and almost all of the changes made to the demo have been transferred to the full game too.

So no time was wasted. It's all for the better experience and a more complete game at the end!

I'm still not ready to give a release date – there are too many official and not‑so‑official holidays (I have two personal holidays this month, including my birthday).

But I'm starting work on a small marketing push, and most importantly on the demo release trailer!
