This week's content creator spotlight is none other than Dan Field. We're excited that he tried out Underspace and seemed to love it a lot. If your French is a bit rusty, don't worry -- his gameplay is superb so just focusing on the video is all good. Anyway, enjoy!

We announced this last week, but for the record:
[b][h2]Underspace will be participating in Steam Next Fest![/h2][/b]
Once again, we'll have a playable Steam demo up and running AND I'll be personally playing during the developer stream (naturally). I know there will be a lot of games to try, so it'd mean a lot to me if you'd test out Underspace and see for yourself what's coming out in just a few short months.

As always, if you have any interest in trying out Underspace, check out [url=https://pastaspace.itch.io/underspace]download our latest demo[/url] and give it a go (before the official Steam demo version releases). You should also [url=https://discord.gg/QEy2dTrcHH]join the Underspace Discord[/url]. Because I said so.
