The Blight Brigade Demo Is Live, and Era 1 Is nearly Complete!
Hey Brigadiers,
First, thank you to everyone who joined the playtest. Whether you played one run or twenty, sent a bug report or a clip of something going horribly wrong, it was massively appreciated! Your feedback led directly to fixes across multiplayer, voice chat, reviving fallen teammates, balance and a lot of smaller polish.
The demo is live now. You can play the first map, Kuthar, solo or with friends. Hunt down the evidence, burn it in the blue fire, take the relic and try to make it out alive while the blight closes in. If you play the updated version, I’d love to hear what you think!
The full game is coming soon. The Era 1 is nearly finished:
- Kuthar: the village where it all begins
- The Sewers: labyrinth of dead-ends and terrors
- The Cathedral: Boss fight and ultimate end to Era 1
Era 1 is the full launch experience. Down the road I’d love to keep the story going with more Eras: new settings, new monsters and new ways for your brigade to find secrets of the blight.
If you like the demo, wishlisting the game would be a great help for a solo dev!
Good luck brigadiers, Sammy
