Marc plays the ABRAXAS demo beta! (Patreon)

 This footage is probably super boring to anyone who’s not me, but from my perspective, this was just so much fun. So, I’m sharing it with you guys in case one of you might find it intriguing, as well!

Here’s a friend (who knew nothing about ABRAXAS prior) playing the demo (on linux, no less… The is the very first time we made a linux build).

Output logs and written feedback are infinitely helpful to us in helping us identify bugs, glitches, and poor design choices… But nothing can ever quite beat watching a person play through the game for the very first time.

Their behaviors, reactions, and timing tells us a lot about the effectiveness of the games design and how it carries the player through the experience. We can easily tell what’s intuitive, what’s not, what’s frustrating, what’s boring, what’s fun, what’s funny, challenging, so on and so forth. 

This video just shows the first four and a half minutes of Marc’s play through. He continued past this and took it all the way to the end of the demo, after about 45 minutes of game play. A lot of secondary interactions, etc are currently unavailable, but the core story/gameplay is all there. 

This build of the will be available for 10$ patrons to play within the next two days :D
And, hopefully..! This is the last build before the complete demo!!
Once the demo is complete, we'll post it here for all patrons to play. This gives us a chance to run it past you guys first and iron out any snags, glitches, bugs, etc before tossing it into the public sphere!
Both nerve-wracking, and exciting!!
