What can you expect during the Steam Game Festival starting Tuesday?! Plenty! We've got SIX ways to for you to join in the fun:
1. Download and play a free demo of OFF GRID!
Starting 10am PDT, June 16th - 22nd
Yep, you heard that right! It's time limited, but it will be there for you to get a taste. Head on over to the OFF GRID Steam page and get your fix!
2. OFF GRID Developer Q&A
Tuesday, June 16th, 10am PST / 6pm BST
Questions at the ready, because you can ask us anything! We'll be taking questions in the live Steam Broadcast chat AND via reddit.
3. Chinese OFF GRID Play Along
Wednesday, June 17th, 1pm BST / 8pm CT
Join us for a play along Q&A session for the Chinese audience with our fried Hao who is keen to help OFF GRID reach his home country of China. He'll be leading a Q&A session for us and translating the interview into Chinese live as we play through the demo.
Hao runs his own small studio, Flying Hammer, and is a concept designer, game developer, animator and entrepreneur working in both the UK and China, making educational games and animations. He is passionate about gaming culture exchange and helping get indie games like Sable, and now OFF GRID, seen in his homeland!
**Disclaimer** At the moment, OFF GRID isn't translated to Chinese, but we are keen to help support Chinese players with the limited resources we have as a four person indie studio. We have translated our Steam page to make a start in this direction, and have modding support for the game that we hope can mean at the very least, that Chinese players will be able to add Chinese localisation mods of OFF GRID to the Steam Workshop. We will do our best to aim for an official Chinese Translation of the game at some point post-release.
