Hello Gardeners!

We hope you’re doing great! Are you curious what is new on our magic island? Check out the Development Update #3!

Have you ever heard of “Explosive Gardening”? It’s an easy and fast way to get rid of weeds and plant some beautiful flowers. We have really cool inventions to help you with that – De-Weeder and Eco-Grenade! Use them to beautify your garden and have fun!




We also added 3D models of tools that you can use in the garden.



And last but definitely not least – we are working on the new island and its gameplay. What is more interesting? You will have a chance to try your gardening skills in a free prologue that we are preparing for you! More info soon!



Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Stay tuned!

jEFF-16 was updated !

We listened to some feedback from our testers and we improved a few things;

1. BOOST BUTTON ! - Left Shift.
2. The game is now more accessible to people who can't go through or touch all the yellow hoops. There is now a bigger green hoop around the yellow one that counts as passing the checkpoint.
3. Out of bounds mechanic - You can no longer wonder around and get lost :)
4. Prettier and more aesthetic menu.
5. Adjusted controls - The plane rotates little faster.
6. Inverted controls on CAPS-LOCK.
7. We added a COMBO mechanic that shows how many times you went through the yellow hoop perfectly.
8. More satisfying animations for passing hoops.

Hope you like it ! <3

UPDATE: Read the breakdown of our beta weekends HERE




We’ve made the decision to delay Icarus’ launch until November to ensure the game is the best it can be for our players, and we’re introducing a longer Beta which you can play from Friday 27 August at 5pm Pacific Daylight Time.

Our team is committed to providing the best experience for our players at launch. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the state of our development builds and have decided that we want to give Icarus more love by delaying the game, and improving upon our Beta process by spreading it across multiple weekends, with each having a specific focus. A plus side of this also means reducing Beta fatigue for our players.

We acknowledge that this news may not be what you wanted to hear, but we are confident it will lead to the best possible Icarus launch!

ICARUS BETA WEEKENDS ROADMAP

We’re running a series of Beta Weekends with each weekend unlocking new game features that allow us to gather more useful and focused feedback! This will provide us with more clarity on what your Prospector’s journey may look like as you progressively explore the planet.

Here’s what you can expect to unlock every Beta Weekend:

This will be your first weekend playing Icarus! It’s also an opportunity to begin making the YouTube and Twitch content that you’ve been eager to share with your communities. So get base building and learn to hunt, Prospector.

• Torrential Storms are disabled
• Forest biome only

Now that you have spent time on the surface of Icarus, prepare for mother nature to do her thing. Torrential Storms are now enabled and, as seen on our Twitch streams, ensure you have your fire whacker and repair tool handy in case lightning strikes your base! Better yet, go mine some boulders to shelter in.

• Torrential Storms are now enabled
• Forest biome only

Brace yourself for the cold, for you now have access to the forbidding and demanding temperatures of the Arctic biome. It's time to put your skills to the test as you prepare a survival plan for your journey.

• Arctic biome unlocked
• Arctic animals and blizzards

You guys were so good at hunting the mammoth, we've added a special 3-part mission for Weekend Four. Get ready to seek out that downed satellite, but keep your eyes open for danger!

We don't expect you to have mastered the Arctic biome just yet - perhaps you can take a break from the frigid weather and visit the Desert for some R&R. Just kidding, there is no relaxation anywhere on Icarus.

• Desert biome unlocked
• Desert animals and blizzards

What does it mean to be a Prospector? This weekend you will get your first taste of Icarus' political lore. Various factions and corporates have an interest in Icarus, but need someone expendable to run errands for them. In return for completing a series of objectives planetside they’ll reward you handsomely.

• Faction Missions unlocked

Our final beta weekend will celebrate our community with a giveaway and a few other surprises. Hang tight for more information on this!

• Special Community Event
• Prizes

We plan to accommodate multiple time zones and will confirm exact start times closer to 28 August. Anyone who pre-orders Icarus before its launch will gain access to the Beta, and pre-orders can be refunded at any time no matter how long you have played the Beta for.



Are you a content creator keen to get your hands on a Beta key? Sign up through our Rainmaker campaign here!

Unfortunately we can’t give keys to everyone, but if you have a loyal audience, love survival games and meet our criteria we’ll share a key with you to join the Beta Weekends.

As mentioned in our previous announcement describing our Beta gates - select beloved Discord community members may gain access to our private "Closed Beta" under a Non Disclosure Agreement ahead of 28 August. They have been the backbone of our growth and we are indebted to their commitment and support of our team and the wider community!

We appreciate you!

We’re really excited for your reactions, creative content and trust you appreciate the reasoning behind our launch delay. We’ll keep listening to your feedback and adapting Icarus as the Beta evolves. We encourage you to join our Discord where we will be there to answer your queries and concerns! Most of all, to get HYPE with our community as we have officially set our Beta dates!

It's quite hard to believe it, but Stronghold: Crusader turns 20 next year! Thanks to the game's wonderful, active community Crusader retains a healthy number of players, alongside its old school charm. Today we'd like to draw attention to an impressive community-driven patch for the game, which some of you may already know as the 'UCP'.



In an effort to tweak balancing and bring certain areas of gameplay more in line with later real-time strategy releases, a group of gifted developers from the Stronghold community have designed, built and released an extensive player-made update for the game. This optional patch allows you to change up your medieval crusading experience, enjoying new balancing and quality of life features created for you by the community.



The Unofficial Crusader Patch (UCP) offers a range of updates, from small tweaks to all new features. Applied using a simple installer, its headline feature allows players to besiege fresh AI castles from beloved characters while enjoying community-led balance changes. The UCP is great for old and new players alike, changing the way skirmishes play out with tweaks aimed at more recent fans of the genre.

To download and apply the Unofficial Crusader Patch, here are the relevant links:

Visit the UCP Website (Includes Installation Guide)
Check out UCP on GitHub
Join the UCP Discord

It gives us great pleasure to promote community-driven content like the Unofficial Crusader Patch and we can't wait to see what the team (and the Stronghold community at large) comes up with next!

修BUG..

After 2 years of work and 6 months of delay, I'm proud to present Dr Greenstuff Chapter 5.
This last level should not have existed, but I wanted to do it to experiment new mechanics and thank the players for their support.
The gameplay is no longer about weed, as it is very simplified in this level, but rather about setting up a wartime cannabis farm and delivering drugs.
A section "Bug act 5" will be opened in the steam discussion, thank you to report me there, the problems you encounter.
Hoping you will enjoy, I wish you a good game.
