HEAVYDELIC DEMO OUT NOW ON STEAM!

No reason to let the ether go stale for another 11 days. Jack in. Bend the protocol. Transmit your feedback.

Early access: 23.06.2026 18:00 CEST.

The countdown is running. The first circuit has been closed. Signal transmitting. Pilots, keep your fingers crossed!

HEAVYDELIC at the Nocturno festival in Kremnica.

We'll be sitting by the campfire in Zechenter's Park, playing a Demo/Early Access build on a 1985 Trinitron.

As the crow flies, we'll be about 2-3 km away from the actual site where HEAVYDELIC is happening, and we'll be talking about the mechs in the Kremnica Hills and the lives changed by the HEAVYDELIC incident.

Heavydelic poster is 100% done and the DEMO / EARLY ACCESS version 0.000023PMI-80 is 99% done.

The plan is as simple as booting up an old terminal:

First, I’ll let all Patreon supporters test it. https://patreon.com/artereniac

Then it moves into the digital underground of Itch.io.

And if everything runs as smoothly as a flea-market cassette sliding into a vintage player, I’ll drop it on Steam as well.

Keep your fingers crossed.

We were strictly forbidden to go to the tailings pond. It was a restricted zone, a place beyond the edge of the map of Horná Ves. But one Saturday morning, while my friend and I were playing rebels fighting a gigantic Wampa on the planet Hoth, we got lost.

Suddenly, an enormous fence stood in front of us. Old, rusty, remembering other times. There was a hole in it, and beneath it ran a worn path, as if deer passed through there regularly. We peeked inside.

And then a loud, hoarse sound of old transistors rang out. Crackling, buzzing, rhythmic clicking like relays waking up after decades of sleep. Something was standing in front of us. Something huge.

Something mythical. Something mechanical. Something lost.

Bludička.

Its body was assembled from old electrical components. Massive ceramic DIAZED fuses jutted out from its sides like eyes. Inside, orange diodes pulsed, and in their glow you could see its lostness. Old KT705 transistors formed something like muscles, and the creature’s core vibrated like a Jiskra ST40. In that light, good and evil mixed together. A total techno-state, as if the spirit of an old power plant had come alive and could not find peace.

We stood there for maybe five seconds.

Then the Bludička moved. Without a sound, it vanished into the bushes.

And we ran home as if a shepherd had just unleashed his enormous dog.
