Well, special thanks to Tim, Scott and Dave at Desura! We got Empire in the Sky's Alpha Demo on Desura in only 20 days! What this means for you is that the game's free alpha version is sitting there, waiting for you to install it! Go do that, but keep reading the rest of this article first, Astronaut!
Speaking of "Astronauts" take a look at your avatar!

Now that the "Totally free version" is available, you might be asking: How do I alpha-fund this thing on Desura? Well, you can't yet. It will be a few months before the Studio releases an official alpha-funding version through Desura, now officially titled "Empire in the Sky: Loose Screws Full Version" .. however, you can go to LostAstronaut.com and make a donation at any time!
How much will it be? It will be $29.99. This version will be a whopping 6 gigs of partially-completed gameplay.
But, we don't want to sour your experience with something too half-baked. So, give us some time to add and test some of the features that didn't quite make it into the demo. We promise awesome asteroids, visiting your own base, and landing on planets in the first "Alpha-funding" release. Remember: the more support we get, the better the multiplayer experience will be. So, please tell people about this project!
And, in the mean time, please download our demo, I mean it is free and available on Desura right now!
