In NeonXSZ (pronounced Neon Excesses) you are injected into cyberspace to stake your place in a war of virus versus machine. During your journey you will fly dozens of spaceships with hundreds of upgrades allowing you to create totally unique spacecraft with which to wage war. Will you protect the operating system or join the infection to bring it down?
NeonXSZ is our little homage to Descent combined with the frenetic adrenaline pumping feel and gameplay mechanics of Quake. Then add Diablo's loot explosions, rpg elements, leveling up, procedurally generated environments and enemies. Finish it all off with truly open-world gameplay inside a micro ecosystem of up to one thousand unique little AI dudes buzzing around getting into fights and doing their own thing.
In NeonXSZ, gamespeed, enemy damage and enemy intelligence are all customizable to suit everyone from a complete novice through to the most elite hardcore 6DoF veteran.

No demo?
Not at this time.
Keeping a demo up to date ,with for four different OS branches, took too much time away from regular development.
Is there a possibility of releasing this to GOG?
Not just yet. GOG don't accept early access titles.
damn. well I hope they will soon. since I have it for desura I notices that its getting updated more in steam. do you think you can send updates to desura too?
I would love to but unfortunately it's a time constraint issue. Steam has an automated binary patching system which means that the game can be updated there in about five minutes for all systems.
On Desura, all 8 versions must be separately uploaded in full for every update. That ends up taking 4-5 hours. That is time that would be taken away from development, so for now only the main updates will be uploaded to Desura.
8 versions? PC, Mac, Linux32, Linux64. Each OS requires a separate upload for the standalone version and another for the version that works through the Desura app.
Therefore, it's easy to roll out smaller updates to Steam, fix any issues with more smaller updates, and finally update Desura once everything is stable and all the planned new content is complete and tested.
Is there a reason you don't install it on Steam. It's free if you have a Desura version. See my post below for details.
Steam has alot of problems. First is their DRM policy. basically they reserve the right to deactivat eyour account without warning without your consent even if you didnt do anything wrong and thus you will lose your games. seconds is that games like space engineers are tied with the client which requires you to start steam at all times. its more bloatware. third is their community. most people that I have encountered in steam are nothing but immature trolls and Object, weirdos like bronys, and other scary crap. I rather buy my games without being online all the time, have the ability to backup my game and make many copies as I want for personal reasons. its a right, not a privilege. that is why GOG is a good recommendation when your game is done. I bought your game and its a work of art and you should feel proud. what bothers me really is the fact that steam greenlight nowadays is just so devs would make an easy buck, which basically money is the way....
Good luck on Steam!! Hope you get the sales you deserve.
Thanks mik3k. Fingers crossed.
