Selaco is easily the game I am most excited about this year, a GZDoom powered shooter that had a brilliant demo but Altered Orbit Studios are about to delist the demo.
Why? As fantastic as the demo is, it's heavily outdated and saves won't be compatible. So to prevent people having to re-play a section and to not give the wrong impression, the demo is being removed from Steam soon. They could update the demo but that would take a fair amount of time away from just developing the game.
The good news is that as fans of game preservation, the demo is officially being uploaded to Archive.org where it will live on for a long time. Really interesting to see a developer do this, quite a nice way to preserve it in the old state. Currently the Windows demo is up but they confirmed the Linux version will be up there too.

Selaco is set to hit Early Access on May 31st.
Follow it on the Steam page.

Every time there's a new build of the main game, there should be a new build of the demo too.
