We’ve completed all the necessary tasks required for releasing the demo. What is left now is only to polish it up a bit and do some testing. Demo will be released this month. Between 15th of february and 28th.
Demo will be limited to playing one tactical combat against AI. No multiplayer. Geoscape will be limited to ordering new equipment and soldiers. Also, game will be limited to 7 days of play.
Why the limitations? – We’re not ready with the overall balance of the game which includes economy and techonology research times. Not all technologies are yet implemented, plus there is a technical requirement to limit the game’s time imposed by the length of the alien missions. Non the less, its pretty enough to test the game.
You will however need the original game to extract all the data from. We’re not quite done with remaking all the graphics.

No problem with the limited things, its just a demo.
The Final release is just important, the demo shows us how good the remake will be.
I will try the demo and please tell us the way to submit the bug report. Thanks for your contribution to the x-com community!
Best way would be to to use the forums for submitting bugs. Maybe eventually we will set up some bug tracking page, but i would rather use the forum right now.
And I will totally be there, in the line at the door, waiting for the demo release! Yay for releases!
woohooo cant wait!! out of all the remakes this one seems to be the most worthy
Will your demo work with 64-bit systems?
It should. We tested it on a 64 bit windows and it worked. Althought its just one test, so I can’t guarantee anything
So you will have a tester on Windows 7 64-bit Polish edition system
Just found the site’s link on YT.Can’t wait for the game!
