This game rocks. Please give any little bit of help you can so that it can become a full game. I did a little UFOPedia writing, techtree design, and I'm doing a vehicle model, since every little bit helps. The TechDemo2 version just needs to have the gaps filled (tech tree, weapons, ufopedia, way to achieve the plot goals). It already looks and plays like a commercial game! It is even more fun than X-Com 2, and that game was my obsession for months.

The gameplay and layout is similar to X-COM: UFO Defense, but the graphics are modern 3D from the traditional turn-based strategy diagonal camera angle. The fun of the gameplay is rooted in features such as randomly spawned terror attacks (send your troop carrier to the scene to start battle), beautiful geoscape globe with city lights on the night area, awesome weapons like Flamethrower and Sniper Rifle with two settings on every weapon, fully implemented turn-based combat, multilevel buildings, smart aliens, and scenario scoring and soldier recruiting after battles. This is a game I would buy for full price in a completed state, but it's free, cross-platform, and open-source! Hooray!
