Hey, remember that HorseGame thing we posted about earlier? Well, the team at EquiDev has now released the demo for public consumption, which can be downloaded from their site. It contains one playable area with a variety of enemies, collectibles and spells to entertain oneself with. I've already said all about the game that I can in the last article, so I'll cut straight to the chase and post their announcement below the break.

We’re pleased to announce the release of the much anticipated HorseGame demo! Taking place on the grounds of an abandoned monastery overlooking the pristine coastal waters of Saddle Greccia, the playable area is about the size of a 12-16 player multiplayer map and is packed with a variety of enemies, collectables, and combinable spells to play around with.

Available for Windows, OSX, and Linux, you can find the download for the demo on our site, and you can also find the gameplay trailer here. We’d like you to keep in mind that this is still an early demo of the game, so what you see here will still be undergoing many changes before the release of the full game.

The full HorseGame will be a free, 3D action-adventure platformer, where we aim to make the Adventure Mode a fully fleshed-out experience complete with voice acting and cutscenes. Alongside Adventure Mode, you will be able to duke it out with friends online in our arena-style match mode, where the combat will be based on what exists in adventure mode, but modified and balanced around player vs. player gameplay.

To address concerns some of you have had: We currently believe it is not likely for Horsegame to be C&D’d since the game features entirely original settings and characters. This will also be true for the full game.
