The Final Stretch

Development on The Guardians has entered its final stretch.

The main gameplay systems and campaign structure are now in place. Our current focus is completing the remaining cutscenes, polishing mission transitions, fixing bugs, and preparing the game for release.

At this stage, we are concentrating less on adding major features and more on making sure the complete experience feels stable, consistent, and ready for players.

What We Are Working On

We are currently completing the game’s cinematic sequences and reviewing how each mission flows into the next.

We are also testing:

  • Aircraft controls and combat
  • Mission objectives and triggers
  • Enemy and friendly AI behavior
  • Dialogue and cutscene timing
  • Progression and mission completion
  • Performance across different hardware
  • Bugs that can interrupt or block a mission

Many issues only appear when players approach a mission differently than expected. That makes outside testing especially important during this stage of development.

We Are Looking for Playtesters

We are looking for playtesters who can help us identify bugs and provide feedback before release.

We are especially interested in feedback about:

  • Mission pacing and difficulty
  • Aircraft handling
  • Combat balance
  • Objective clarity
  • Dialogue and cutscene presentation
  • Performance and stability
  • Bugs or progression blockers

You do not need professional testing experience. Feedback from regular players is just as valuable, especially when it clearly explains what happened and what you were doing when an issue occurred.

An Updated Demo Is Coming Soon

We are also preparing an updated Steam demo that better represents the current direction of The Guardians.

The existing demo was released much earlier in development. Since then, the game has received substantial changes to its systems, missions, presentation, dialogue, and overall campaign direction.

The updated demo will provide a more accurate preview of what players can expect from the full game.
