Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“DESIRO’s core game loop is already in place, but its systems have room to grow. Early Access lets us refine the game with players while exploring broader directions such as structured progression, deeper network behaviour and new ways to interact with the simulation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around 1–3 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to build on the same core network game while expanding its depth, accessibility and range of play.
We plan to expand DESIRO’s depth and range of play. Areas we are interested in exploring include campaign or scenario-based progression, controller support, richer network behaviour and further late-game development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“DESIRO is already playable as a complete score-based network-building game, with five-ring progression, economy and building systems, persistent desire paths, evolving agent behaviour, network stress, collapse, scoring and Steam leaderboards.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently expect the price to increase slightly when DESIRO leaves Early Access to reflect the additional development and refinement made during that period.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback will be gathered through dedicated Discord servers and Steam’s Community Hub, Discussions and development updates. Player strategies, unusual network designs, balance observations and ideas will help shape both refinement of the current game and its wider development.”

About This Game

HELLO AGAIN, KIND STRANGER!!

>> WELCOME TO DESIR⏺.

A SMALL, RELAXED GAME ABOUT NETWORKS, MOVEMENT, AND PUTTING LITTLE CIRCLES IN PLACES.

>> AGENTS DO NOT JUST USE YOUR NETWORK. THEY SHAPE IT. DESIRE PATHS EMERGE FROM REPETITION, TURNING MOVEMENT INTO INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUILD A NETWORK.
WATCH TINY COMMUTERS USE IT.
NOTICE THEY HAVE OTHER IDEAS.

THEIR JOURNEYS LEAVE DESIRE PATHS BEHIND. BUSY ROUTES GROW STRONGER. QUIET ONES FADE. YOUR LITTLE SYSTEM SLOWLY BECOMES SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T QUITE DESIGN.

>> THIS IS PROBABLY FINE.

EXPAND THROUGH FIVE RINGS.
SPEND CAREFULLY.
ADD REDUNDANCY.
FIND BOTTLENECKS.
MAKE NEW BOTTLENECKS WHILE FIXING THE OLD ONES.

>> BUILD.
>> OBSERVE.
>> ADAPT.
>> TRY AGAIN.

THERE IS NO PERFECT NETWORK.

JUST YOUR NETWORK.

KEEP IT MOVING FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN. WATCH IT GROW. WATCH IT STRUGGLE. MAYBE LEARN SOMETHING PROFOUND ABOUT THE NATURE OF DESIRE.

OR JUST MAKE A NICE LOOKING ONE.

>> BOTH ARE ACCEPTABLE.

CHILL TUNES & NICE NOISES BY VOYAGER ◯∘.

BEST OF LUCK OUT THERE, STRANGER...

>> DESIR⏺. OVER AND OUT.
