Hope you enjoy it!

This demo still performs badly on steam deck I wish they would actually sort this out

He says significantly improved performance yet the game still drops to low 50s and sometimes high 40s it’s not improved at all

Hey! Despite the engine update, the demo still runs on the same code as 7 months ago. We've made massive leaps on the performance side of things in the new (internal) build, but could not bring those optimizations over to the demo because the game code has matured so much that the demo is simply too outdated to maintain. If we want to update the demo to be closer to our internal build, we would have to put development for the full game on-hold for a few weeks just to properly update and test it. These days we have a release date target we want to hit, so we had to prioritize. Updating the 'engine layer' of the demo was a lot easier, and given the stability issue Selaco had on the Steam Deck, it felt like a worthwhile thing to update since it gave players the impression that the game would not be Steam Deck compatible. That would be shame, because we are pushing to make it a Verified game! Also please make sure you run the game in Vulkan! On a Steam Deck there is no reason not to use that.

It does perform better than it did a year ago. It also greatly depends on the tdp you use and the graphics settings you choose. Also, as was stated in the video, you might have some of the old files stuck on your deck. This would stop you from seeing the improvements. And on top of all of that, the final release has further optimizations.

It performs a lot better than it did before, and "he says" - I was quoting the developer.

if you like Selaco you might like Strafe as well

NERD! I'm not a nerd! Put some respect on my title, I'm an Ultra Mega Alpha Super Nerd!

Thank you Liam. I’m downloading it right now. 🎮✨✊

I mean if you want a good FPS game you really have to buy indie. I can only think of the newer Doom games on terms of AAA. Unless you go full multi player. Which I can't be bothered with anymore.

Still on borderlands 2 and 3, as I like the looting aspect with fps

"fowl", 'bowtgun" - what regional pronunciation is this? :)

@gamingonlinux I can't, I'm Polish :) I'm sorry if I offended you, my comment was not meant as a criticism or mockery, I'm a sucker for regional accents and I love it that English has so many of them just in UK alone. Polish has a mere fraction of those.

Guess

This and sea of stars just as exciting to me as starfield. I really hope digital foundry covers this game and it blows up.

Being called a nerd has never felt better!

Happy to hear is getting better and thanks for the info. I already liked the first demo, so I'm not playing it again until the release.

Fair enough!

Waiting for the release, old school vibes with cool visuals and gameplay.

I'm looking forward to this one, looks really promising

I am on a huge boomer shooter binge. Selaco is one I am keeping my eye on. Seems like an excellent boomer shooter like Prodeus

@_devilfish303 boltgun, Prodeus, AWOL and Ion Fury.

I got a little over 100fps on the Ally on medium. Seems to average about 70 with dips in the upper 50's. That was a 15 watts.

"Way too much Duke Nukem". Assuming that you meant "3d", then I can certainly relate. I'm pretty sure that game was the reason I struggled to pass my college course back in the day.

Did he call me a nerd..................how did you know!

Gives me Ghost in the Shell psp vibes

When is the release?

This looks kind of interesting. I'll keep an eye on it for now.

I remember feeling that the environments were a bit overly detailed for the Steam Deck screen, and in many cases I was just walking around wondering where to go next since I missed a button that blended into the environment. I hope they make these things a lot more readible, since the gameplay itself is REALLY good.

Selaco is bloody beautiful. Looking forward to getting it on release <3

Sell A Co? I've always called it Sellaa Co

For me Selaco is the best FPS of 2024 for now. I like its atmosphere, the protagonist is drop-dead gorgeous, although it's a pity it's not in third person. It's quite tough even in normal. I'm playing it on easy and I enjoy it more. The combat is interesting, they were inspired by F.E.A.R. rather than in Doom, it's a pity it doesn't have bullet-time, this would balance the difficulty better.
