Iocaine Studios announces the availability of a LAN demo for ThreadSpace: Hyperbol. The online demo was released a while back (story), which uses Steam authorization, just like the full game. Now the LAN demo (direct link) offers the chance to check out the game on networks that do not have Internet access. Word is:

It has all of the tutorials and normal demo maps included. We still encourage users to install the normal demo since the really great part of the game emerges online, but for those that can’t run Steam, there is now an alternative.

Hyperbol was originally designed as a LAN party game, so it's only fitting that we release a version of it ideal for LAN party distribution.
