Next Fest Demo Update
Greetings Commanders!
As part of Steam Next Fest, a new version of the Demo is now available for you to try. This version features the new world generation and tech tree that was in the Playtest last month, along with many new QOL features, bug fixes, and other improvements.
Demo Update
This version unlocks the new Electromagnetic Science research for those who got to the end of the previous demo content and are looking for a new automation challenge. There is also new equipment, new places to explore, new ship and station modules including the Shield Generator Mk. 1 that adds a new dimension to combat and ship design.
Multiplayer
The highlight of this update is that co-op multiplayer is now available in the demo! There have been lots of improvements and optimizations around multiplayer for this version, so it’s the perfect time to grab a friend and start automating.
Main Sequence is participating in Next Fest this week and your reviews of the demo make a big difference, so if you check it out please let us know what you think of the latest demo updates in a review!
Thanks for continuing to follow the development of Main Sequence!
Cheers,
Kaiden
