Instead of a plain .jar file, you now get a proper launcher with everything the game needs:
Here's something even more interesting: Their demo is actually the full game, as they believe you should be able to try it out properly while it's in Alpha to get a feel for buying it or not.
That's really quite awesome, so hopefully some of you will decide to check it out. A really great attitude for a developer to have.
You can get the game at the official website, and on Steam.

Enjoyable game, worth playing. But it likes RAM, there is no amount it couldn't consume especially if you're running singleplayer (or host server and play on same machine)

Last time I wanted to try the demo, it tried to download a jar file and I cancelled. If it comes as a complete bundle now, I may give it a spin.

Does it require Steam? It seems so but the website is not very clear about it.

For some reason I cant run this game, I get an error that some texters are missing when I try the game from steam and there website. But if I get it from the Arch AUR, the game runs fine but I have no sound :P.
Maybe they have made some changes to this in the new launcher.
Or there could be just an arch problem, and I have no idea what Im doing :P.
Still, what Iv manage to try without sound was good, but I imagen sound would make it even better :P.

Judging by the trailer, this game looks like it came a looong way since I last tried it, a few years ago. I will make sure to give it a go once I have a PC again. I hope it now has more things to do when playing single-player.

This game is awesome! If you like minecraft this is a must try. The devs are super active, it gets regular updates and is always improving.

I played it many many hours over the years, and i enjoy to go back from time to time, to sink my mind into space for a couple of weeks.

This is a game I always thought to try, but would never buy with limited information - a demo seems like the perfect lure.

The demo on Steam, is the full game as far as I know. As GOL says in the editorial, I had a friend play the demo for months with us on a server. No difference we ever noticed. That was early this year.
quote from the Dev
"The demo is the current full version of the game. Purchasing the game, means that you will still have access to the latest versions of the game, when we stop supporting (updating) the demo. Purchasing the game will also upgrade your account, and allow you to use our blueprint hosting system and expand the number of skins you can have uploaded to your account at once, when these features are done."
But StarMade handles early access a bit differently than most games. The price gradually goes up as they add more features.
