kalineh/solbound-demo

Solbound is a work in progress video game for Windows, not a piece of software you use for productivity or development. It is a voxel style exploration and combat game, meaning the world is built out of blocky, chunky terrain similar to games like Minecraft, but with a focus on wandering around and fighting rather than building structures. The world is generated and includes forests, mountains, caves, rivers, changing weather, creatures to fight, and loot to find. There is no main storyline or ending yet since the game is still early in development. The README describes the current appeal as simply exploring, fighting, collecting gear, and gliding through the world using a glider you can open while falling from a high place. To try it, you download a single executable file from the latest release and run it directly, since there is no installer. Because the demo is not digitally signed, Windows may show a security warning when you try to open it. The game uses standard keyboard and mouse controls for movement, looking around, jumping, sprinting, crouching, attacking, and blocking, along with keys for opening menus like your character screen, inventory, and map. There are also debug controls meant for testing, such as toggling a free camera or opening a developer console. On the in-game map, you can zoom with the mouse wheel, drag to pan around, click to drop a waypoint, and press a key to recenter the view on your character. Items in your inventory can be right-clicked to quickly equip or unequip them, or dragged directly between inventory slots and equipment slots. The README is upfront that this is an early demo, so players should expect unfinished content, bugs, balance issues, and rough edges rather than a polished, finished game.
