Welcome to 2023, the year that Regulator City should officially launch! Luckily for me I still have 12 months to accomplish that!
I wanted to drop another fresh demo for you guys to sample, it’s still far from done, it comes with silly and weird bugs, and not all features are fully completed, but I think you’ll enjoy the game and it should provide you with a good enough sample to WISHLIST THE GAME!
Make sure to come hang out on the discord.gg/orangepixel as I will be moving towards more closed private demos soon, and I will need testers!
I have an extremely long list of changes and things done to this version of the game, but all you need to know is that it’s more stable then the previous version, more feature packed, and even closer to something resembling a completed game.. so grab the demo and drop me some feedback on Discord or where ever!
