Dev Update (29/12/2023)
Added 2023-12-29 21:56:27 +0000 UTCHi!
Just wanted quickly mention that I will be "monitoring" the next few days before the new year if there are some game breaking graphical bugs or other major issues with this new public demo.
For me this demo was a nice closure to this porting journey, it wasn't anything groundbreaking but it didn't need to be. The most common criticism when I decided this engine choice was that "Godot can't handle this" and I made a mistake in terms of rendering choice.
I think this demo gives enough proof that game engines are just tools and this wasn't a doomed choice for this project. There's of course still bunch of bugs to be fixed, but in general it's fully playable and I created a nice platform for this project and for me as a developer (tech wise cleaner and more straightforward than it was in Unity).
I'm personally really happy with this choice and honestly I can't wait to get into that Public Demo 2 phase soon.
From this point forward, I'm also going to talk much less about engines, Godot or porting, since now it's time to start focusing the actual progression and moving the project forwards :)
Thanks for you support and all the feedback during this porting journey!

Outstanding work Antti.. just found the game earlier this morning, read the back story on the unity fiasco and the current long road to port it. Then realized the v1 demo was on steam and I absolutely love the direction and cant wait for demo 2. I love this game already, so decided to back it and help you to make sure this game is successful. Thank you for your passion in the gaming community, so many devs & AAA companies have lost the drive to make great games. 👍
