Feel free to suggest/discuss cool demos from the Next Fest!
It starts on Monday, but a lot of demos are already live.

Howl. No question.

I wish to offer torture in the form of Cook Serve Forever having put out a demo on january the 26th, releasing in april
I love the game series but I'm conflicted on how much it looks like they have changed.
Hopefully I learn more during next fest when they do a playthrough and plans explanation

So because this thread technically is called Steam Next Fest Demos and therefore one could argue it's also for talking about the demos you've played
I tried out the demo for Shape Shipter myself after Wander dropped it on stream, because I wanted to see what exactly happens when you get enough stars in one of the given weapons
Turns out, here's what happens: the weapons do not get stronger when they level up, but the levels persist between runs, because what leveling weapons actually does is give you points toward metaprogression
These meta upgrades are either permanent stat boosts, like "now you have more life" or "now you can dash twice in a row", or they are brand new weapons you can use in subsequent runs
Needless to say, it's not an especially interesting gameplay loop, where you just Super Crate Box your way from one enemy wave to the next with no apparent progression from beginning to end
What I would have done differently, were I developing this game, is this: a complete overhaul of the leveling system, where each weapon starts at level 1 at the beginning of every run but gains XP much quicker
Since each weapon can level up three times, the first two levels would be some branching upgrade for the weapon, like for instance the clock could evolve into "fire a smaller shockwave every half hour" or "shockwaves stun enemies for a brief time" or even something wacky like "gain a swinging pendulum"
And then when that weapon hits max level, it is permanently added to your ship for the remainder of the run, so until the run is over you'll have up to two or even three weapons active at once
Increase the danger levels of each wave to compensate, maybe add some passive items you gain from minibosses
At this point it's basically diving into bullet heaven territory, but hell, why not? It works well as a bullet heaven.

olive sonnet
yeah but the word 'demo' carries certain implications that are not met here
Demo: A proof-of-concept version of a game, typically released to the public for promotional and/or feedback purposes.
Just gonna throw in my own note. Just because something is EA doesn't stop it from being a demo. It is smart for the devs to throw their games into a festival like this to gather attention and feedback. It is its own form of marketing.
The core part of a demo is usually the limited content from what the full game has to offer; not the 'readiness' of the project
Demos are used constantly in drafts and proof of concept to market genres and design to the people up top making choices
This is mostly a conflict in natural language progression vs word definition however; because I know many people now expect demo to mean the game is just fully made and gated
Before games companies required people to show there was a market; usually by advertisements and engagement statistics. Now due to platforms, 'demos' and 'early access' end up taking that space due to lower cost. Thats why we had the massive amount of minecraft clones and all that on mobile markets
But anything after pre-production is technically able to make a demo

Will throw Heistgeist from my side:
Cyberpunk deckbuilder onthe non-rougelike variety
It has an actual story, where you executed heists / shadow ops, progress maps where you switch between team members executing task furthering the heist, each with their own deck.
In the demo heist you have the physical runner that progress trough the archive building, and a hacker that connects from a public space for support. The nodes for physical progress when you fight are in the Slay the Spire vein, with the added bonus of cards being of the types that combo of each other: A - comabt cards - B support cards C finishers. Each card has an additional effect based of following up a specific card type.
Hacking is more a puzzle with limited resources - you need to figure out how much to push: some nodes you want to capture, some you want to break into pieces etc.
Very hyped for this one after the demo.

nova magnet
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1053900/Radio_the_Universe/
This is really good. It does remind me of Hyper Light Drifter which is weird because while HLD combat is lightning fast here it is more ponderous and methodical, something encouraged by the fact that you cant button mash because overkilling enemies looses you xp - you need to bring them exactly down to zero. Which is not to say that the controls feels sluggish or janky, on the contrary, Its just that all of the actions have a certain heft to them. The environment itself is nice and suitably creepy, something akin to gothic cathedral crossed with a factory and warehouse.

Possibly something different then. Not getting any creepy vibes from this. You're just this kid witch living alone in the forest that wants to eat pies in peace and study and train. Sadly the forest gets invaded by incompetent solders on a witch hunt. So you beat them up for their dehydrated pie rations and let the forest golem guardian punt them out "Team Rocket" style π There also a cite boar mount. Basically think very simplified Atelier game

Had a lot of fun with this one. Its a card based dungeon crawler, where each room is a small srpg battle against a few monsters. The deck state persist between battles for the whole dungeon, so this is something you need to manage as well or you will run out of cards and have just the default week attack available. The demo has two dungeon runs: tutorial and the actual demo, and a bunch of classes to test, each with a different combinations of two thematic decks.

Something simple and unbearably cute:) This game doesn't try to be anything very complicated. You are a bear witch, and a honeymancer at that . Pick out your spell loadout, refill honey from your friendly beehive and go protect the forest from the invading woodcutting robots. Destroy as many of the robots as you can, get seeds as a reward that you can turn into flower beds for more honey capacity, repeat until satisfied.

This is an expanded version of an Apple arcade. A fluid hack and slash in bite sized encounters on small arenas. Kill a few monsters, maybe find an item, maybe get enough exp to level up. Really like the visuals, chunky pixeels with a black, red, white palette, gives me Mork Bork vibes.

Another card-based city builder, this time around stylized to look like a cardboard cutout town. Each turn you get a set income based on the population - the bigger population the bigger the income. At set population levels you also get perks or new cards added to your card deck.
The simplest buildings just cost money, the better ones cost one of four resources: water, energy, security, and environment. The moment any resource goes into negatives you're under a "red alert" that only goes away when you're back in black. Get 3 alerts going at the same time and it is game over. There are also "victory condition" buildings with special requirements - like parking lot needing to be surrounded by roads on all sides. Fail to build them in the allotted number of turns, and you get a permanent read alert.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1710540/Fall_of_Porcupine/
This one gives me Night in the Woods vibes: a platformer/adventure set in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, the cast is anthropomorphic animals, with a hint of supernatural and dreamlike by the end of the demo. You play as an intern, in a barely functioning hospital, trying to do your best, chilling with friends after work, etc. There's also possibly a murder in progress.
My main beef with this one is that there are quick time events for medical treatments that are absurd to pull off - things like pushing the buttons and the stick on the same side of the controller plus maybe shoulder buttons as well. And apparently it's a conscious design choice (which I absolutely disagree with) because medicine is hard. On the other hand, the game has Hibernation Festival and Big Stew competition π
nova magnet
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2081080/Capes/
This one is turn base strategy with superheroes. Apparently, the villains won and now run the city with an iron fist as the Corporation - anyone showing signs of super capabilities gets literally caged and disappeared. You start off as two rookies under a lead of an "old man" probably a has been super.
The comic art parts are mostly a matter of taste, the 3d models on the other hand give me uncanny valley creeps. But I do like the gameplay - heroes are pregenerated, and have their own feel and gameplay style. You start with two and rescue more along the way, new abilities unlock as you do missions as well. My two favorite things: each hero powers up his ultimate a different way - one through backtabs, another with multi-hit attacks, etc, so you can set up teams to synergize. The other thing is that the actual powers have in-game synergies as well. If you have a hero that creates crystal armor and attacks with shards and a nearby telekinetic attacks someone with a hail of stones, it will do more damage because the crystal hero will throw him some shards to use as added ammo -and it is represented in the actual skill animation.

Ghostrunner 2 is so much fun. If you played the first one, it is more of the same, but better - the demo has a high speed motr chase with jumping between broken bridge pieces. If you did not play the first one, its a futuristic hardcore parkour / slasher game when you're a cyber ninja on the run trough a dystopian megacity, jumping, grappling, wallruning and slashing your enemies to pieces. IT is hard as hell, because one shot, one stab and you are gone. But the checkpoints are so numerous and the load times are so short that it is a joy to play even to and old man without reflexes like me. There is just so much satisfaction when after the first 9 fails, you know where everyone is and the final attempt is just a choreographed dance of death with you ping ponging around the place and murdering everyon in seconds.
