Greetings! we've finally crossed the finish line and IRON GUARD is out on Steam! But it's still too early for us to relax.

Firstly, bugs, we are mentally ready for them, we also have our own small list of improvements for the upcoming patch. We would be very grateful if you find any bugs and could report in this forum thread or on our Discord server.

Secondly, we need to add support for a few more devices. WMR users - we haven't forgotten about you! Stay tuned for updates.

Lastly, we plan to release in other stores such as Viveport and Oculus Store and then we plan to do a port for Oculus Quest and PSVR. So as you can see there's still a lot to do.

On another note, we would like to thank everyone who helped us with testing, promotion and lastly but most importantly our families for their patience!

We wish you all a pleasant gaming experience!

Good afternoon Survivors, we're on a roll to bring the next major update to RIO, we started testing the infected today.
Here's a preview of the trowel, which will already be in this update, plus we'll still have a spanner and hammer.

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce that Shattered Gardens is now out in Early Access!
We're excited for you to get your hands on it and provide us with your feedback.

It means the build you get is not final and you will get updates to the game as we develop it. This means that you will be able to test the game for problems and you can provide feedback on the new features we add or suggestions on what you would like to see added into the game.
On the store page we have answered some questions related to Shattered Gardens being in Early Access, please go and read these and keep checking them regularly, we will update our answers as we develop the game.



If you buy the game during Early Access, you will get it for cheaper. By the time Shattered Gardens is ready for the final release, the game will have many more features which means the price will go up slightly. We're not going to mention an exact price here. There are more details about the price changes in the Early Access questions on the store page.
Also, as previously mentioned, you get to provide us with feedback to make this game as good as it can be for the final release. This may be bug reports, telling us if you like or dislike a new feature and why, and giving us your ideas for what you would like to see in the game. It all matters.

Remember that our Discord is the best place to let us know how your experience goes, especially with all these new features: https://discord.gg/Asntr8e

• New: Toxic Fallout. The surface of the planet is now occasionally bathed in a thick radioactive fog that kills everything above ground. You will have 2 minutes from the onset of the event to find shelter underground. Building bases above ground is not recommended until you have the technology.
  
• New: Two different tiers of bandit outposts can be found in the world: Camp (surface and underground) and Ruined Tower (surface)
  
• New: Smelter; many recipes now require ingots which must be manufactured at this new facility
  
• New: Tailor’s Bench; clothes can now be crafted; the equipment slot system has also been overhauled to separate some outfits’ different parts into individual clothing items
  
• Overview menu (F3) now shows nearby points of interest (enable Creative mode in Single Player to teleport)
  
• New Research menu (F5) automatically queues available research items and allows you to reorder them without having to be near a research table
  
• New Colony Manager menu (F6) allows you to enable/disable job types for each colonist
  
• New emoji icons reflect colonists’ state of mind - need bed, need weapon, need ammo, horrified, tired…
  
• New mobility item: Rayboks; equip to run faster
  
• New mobility item: Super Jump Boots; equip to jump higher
  
• New mobility item: Double Jump Boots; equip to allow a second jump in mid-air

• Some improvements have been made to movement on stairs and platforms, including fixing multiple snagging issues
  
• Movement smoothness while walking across horizontal surfaces and gaps has been improved; characters now benefit from real ‘coyote time’ as they walk off a horizontal surface and will not snag on 1-block wide gaps.

• Internal bugfixing, very secretive

• Fixed long standing bug that could cause an exception and corrupt the stream of data coming in from the server depending on the user’s network settings and connection quality

• Dead players and NPCs now drop backpacks instead of their inventory spilling into the world; use with E to loot

• Fixed issue that was causing save and load errors for certain chests generated with raider outposts
  
• Fixed raider outpost blocks not having the Raider faction set; ensured ruin blocks can be damaged by weapons
  
• Fixed issue that could cause certain areas near the spawn to be impossible to mine or build on
  
• Fixed issue that could cause clients to remain stuck “Awaiting snapshot” and then lose their connection to the server upon trying to connect or reconnect to a game that’s been underway for some time
  
• Fixed issue that caused tower outposts to spawn in the air or underground. Note that there are still world generation issues causing outposts to have their upper levels cut off.

New Gameplay Mechanic:
Egg dive:
-Added a new gameplay mechanic called the "egg dive". The egg dive lunches you into the air with a fast speed and slams you down.

The egg dive is performed by holding down the left or right lean key while running.

Volcano shark:
-Reduce the maximum and minimum damage range of its molten rocks blast attacks

• A "solvable" mode has been added to the classic minesweeper
  
• Added custom pixel cursor. You can disable it in options -> display
  
• Fixed a problem with display options at non-standard resolution
