Slopecrashers in STEAM NEXT FEST

(Feb 6. - Feb 13.) [previewyoutube=80ZDGWYVErw;leftthumb][/previewyoutube] Slopecrashers is in the upcoming next fest with a brand new demo! The new demo contains a LOT of improvements based on your feedback from the last demos, and it also introduces a new way to play:

Online Multiplayer!

Yes! Online multiplayer! A lot of people wanted it, and after a lot of consideration and research, I finally put it in! We did some internal testing in the community already, but it is still an early test, so feedback would very much be appreciated on that!

Single Player Content:

The next fest demo also contains a demo campaign that you can progress through and I switched out a map from the old demo and added a few game modes for you to play! I hope you enjoy! And you can also play the offline modes with up to four players splitscreen again!

Multiplayer Showcase Livestreams:

I will showcase the Multiplayer Mode (Either live or pre-recorded and live in chat) during next fest:

• on Monday 22:00 CET
• on Tuesday 20:00 CET

After Next Fest:

Except for a few bugs (that I mostly introduced with adding multiplayer ) and a few more tweaks that I havent found time to put in yet, I am finally quite happy with the state of the game, and will work on finishing everything up after next fest, to finally bring the full experience to you all! Stay tuned for news on that!

Stay up2date:

If you wanna stay updated on everything Slopecrashers, make sure to join the community: Discord And yeah the demo is already online and works, but I am still fixing bugs for next fest - but if you have troubles transitioning from the multiplayer lobby into the game, you might have to let another one host the game (I am still working on this issue)
