Eagerly anticipated sci-fi strategy game Startopia is apparently nearing completion at BritSoft developer Mucky Foot, with a demo version of the game being released today. Weighing in at around 85Mb, the demo includes five tutorial missions to get you started and "the Groulien Workers Party" mission, in which you must build a space station capable of supporting a group of asteroid miners. You can find the demo at any of the following sites -

Look for a full interview with the Mucky Feet next week.
