Dear Nostalgics,

As we hinted yesterday, we have some exciting news.

To thank you for your incredible support and for the creativity you've brought to this campaign, we've decided to rethink our upcoming stretch goals and build something entirely new with you.

Introducing... the Demo Disc! 💿

Remember the Demo Discs of the '90s? Showcases for the latest games and the promise of 32-bit consoles: playable samples, glimpses into new worlds, and the occasional experiment still in development.

We're having so much fun building MemoryCore with you that we want to do exactly that.

The Demo Disc is a cardboard sleeve packed with everything you need to try brand-new MemoryCore experiences: foldable one-shot adventures, single-use pre-generated characters, quick-start rules, and more. It's included for free inside the Coreplayer! Magazine, a gift for everyone at the Platinum Reward Tier or who added Coreplayer! as an add-on.

Here's the part we're most excited about.

Starting today, the next three stretch goals will each unlock a brand-new demo game for the Demo Disc, and we want to create them with you. Through Discord, Claudio will lead the design process and involve you in the brainstorming, and experiments that shape each game from the ground up.

This is your seat in the workshop, a look under the hood at how a MemoryCore game is built, and the first real meeting point between us and the people who love this system as much as we do.

In fact, every unlock starts with a community poll. For each stretch goal you'll choose between three game concepts, each inspired by a beloved genre. The inspirations will be obvious, and entirely intentional.

We want to push the system somewhere unexpected: genres that are chaotic, unusual, sometimes far outside our comfort zone. Platformers. Rhythm games. Shooters. Strange hybrids none of us have thought of yet. The Demo Disc is our laboratory, and you're helping run it.

So let's begin. Three genres that defined the 32-bit era and beyond:
