Try the new and improved demo for FREE at Steam Programming Fest!

Hello, Pioneers! 👋

September is finally here, and it’s going to be a very exciting month for us. As an indie game studio in Canada, we’ve been hard at work since last year when we first announced Brave New Wonders - working to improve the game with new content, new and upgraded features, and quality-of-life upgrades.

Whether you’re a playtester, you’ve tried the demo, you’ve shared your feedback, or have simply been following along on the game’s development - thank you for being a part of this journey with us.

We’ve got some big news coming to you next week, so be sure to stay tuned to the Steam community hub, our social media channels, or the official Discord server to find out what’s next when it’s announced.

👨🏻‍💻 Catch Brave New Wonders in Steam Programming Fest

Next week kicks off Steam Programming Fest, happening from September 10 to 14! If you haven’t played the demo yet, this is a great opportunity to try Brave New Wonders because…

🎮 A new and improved demo will be launching at Steam Programming Fest!

We’ll have an updated version of the demo available for players starting September 10. The updated demo features a ton of bug fixes and quality-of-life updates, along with a frequently requested update to the tutorial for new pioneers who may be jumping in to play for the first time.

The demo will remain free to play, with two continents to explore, the text-based command system and behaviour editor, and more. Your save file from the demo will carry over to the full release at launch, so don’t wait to start building!
