Dev Diary #16 - Beta Demo 24.06.20
Hello Earth-dwellers!
Just a reminder that Samudra's final demo will be out next week on the 24th of June!
The Beta Demo will include a bunch of major polish updates that relates to Cutscenes, Artwork, Puzzles, Animations, and we actually reworked a major in-game Mechanic recently, hopefully for the better! So stay tuned for the launch, share your feedback and suggestions. Let us know if there's anything that you like, love, hate, angry, sad, happy about the demo XD

I am sad that Samudra hasn't been featured in any of the gaming recent shows. This makes me extra sad because If I had the money to invest in my own show right now I'd have included Samudra as a must in it. Any plans? Do you want to participate in any gaming events? Maybe look into Steam Game fest like most games. But maybe there's no time to do that anymore since the fest is in a day.
Maybe contact the Summer Game Fest and other upcoming gaming events via email on their websites with the game.
Gamescom events start in August and on Aug 29 it's the Indie show so this I think is a great opportunity, but one has to be swift and not participate too late in the shows, because I am sure they've been working on the shows for months.
Maybe this would help with showing off the game to the world with a brand new trailer and I am sure that the game will stand out as one of the highlights of the indie shows!
Yes indeed, unfortunately we missed that train since the submission for Steam Summer Fest was over 2 months ago :/ However, Samudra will be joining upcoming festivals for sure, including Steam's Autumn event. Thanks so much for the heads up & always feel free to suggest more events that we might not be aware off :)
Maybe there is a way to sneak in before some events begin. I can suggest you to go to the website of Summer Game Fest and use the contact form at the bottom of the page! Maybe sending this direct message to the Summer Game Fest might allow you to participate by the end of the fest. I'd do the same by contacting other upcoming events and see if there is a way to have them sneak the game into the events. I am certain that after most hosts see the ambitious game if there is a way to sneak the game in they'd do it.
I'd say you should definitely look into Gamescom in August. Maybe contacting them this month might prove useful. I'll try to seek for some other events.
Also maybe contact Geoff Keighley and The Game Awards. If the game is not going to release this year The Game Awards includes world premiers, including some indie titles. I think after contacting them and maybe corresponding with them there might be a way to have the game shown there too?
I've found some other events like GDC Summer, New Game+ Expo, Indigo, Gamescom and Gamescom Asia, Gamelab
Although submitting is closed maybe try to contact Steam for the festival today and see if you can use the new demo to present the game. This event is one of the biggest this year and it'll be a huge lost opportunity. There is still time until it starts.

You have the new upcoming demo, a steam page and etc, so you're pretty much eligible I hope to submit for the event. Miracles might happen, I hope!
