Hi Builders!ːladyengineerːːthebuilderː The long-awaited update is finally live - House Builder Atomic DLC with three new houses! ːtheplanetː We are thrilled that you will be able to play this DLC - especially since the new houses are very unique👽👾🚀
These days, survivalists are preparing for hard times - forewarned is forearmed! The minimum ground thickness to protect against radiation is 90 centimeters. If the hideout is higher up, I would advise you to run away! On our level you will build a shelter at a safe depth in your garden - we reassure you that no nuke scares you.
💥Nuke House💥
We are located in Nevada. In 1951, a training ground of 3,500 square kilometers was designated here. More than a thousand explosions were carried out here - allowing you to test the power of nukes, which are still in the arsenal of many countries as weapons today. Your task will be to rebuild the house that was destroyed in the nuclear test!
👽UFO House👽
After an atomic bomb blast, an unidentified flying object falls on the American countryside. The craft encounters a strange constructor who decides to build a house out of the UFO without reporting it to anyone! Crazy idea, right? Get ready for an unearthly experience!
We have also added: - the possibility to disable voice messages after a completed stage ('impressive', 'good job', etc.). The options can be enabled in the game options once you have started the level; - information at game start-up about the possible occurrence of an attack for people with epilepsy.
We warmly encourage you to participate in Steam discussions. We also encourage you to share your opinion about the game with other players🎮ːthebuilderː

Thank you for being there! ːladyengineerːːthebuilderː Without you, we would not have been able to develop the game this way and release this DLC. Thanks to your feedback and support, we can continue to create this game ❤️

One more thing to check on! FreeMind has just announced DLCs for two other great titles Farmer's Life and Aquarist. Get a glimpse on what they offer and if you like it, wishlist to support:
One, two, three, four, five, buzz! Goes the dive. In just 5 short days, a thrilling adventure awaits as the Shadow of the Depth prepares to make its grand entrance on Steam Early Access! But what's an adventure without heroes? That's where things get even more intriguing. In addition to the Primary, Ultimate, and Support skills you probably tried out in the demo before, the upcoming launch introduces a groundbreaking gameplay mechanic that will redefine how you encounter the abyss—special skills unique to each hero.
Fence Take, for example, Arthur's unparalleled mastery of defense: Continuously defend against attacks by holding the button, using 10 MP for each successful block.
Shadow Bow Assault And then there's Phyllis, who reimagines the bow not just as a tool of precision from afar but as a lethal weapon up close.
The depth awaits. Will you rise to the challenge? Gear up with the knowledge of these new mechanics as we count down the days for ChillyRoom's new dungeon crawler. Put it on your wishlist with a quick tap!
From the 4th of April to the 8th, we participated in Turn-Based Thursday Festival, a super fun and successful event!
We were one small indie game in a sea of big titles such as Darkest Dungeon 2 and we are honored to have had the opportunity.
We came into the event with huge changes to the game. For those who have followed the Steam page, we have changed almost all gifs/screenshots to the new artstyle and combat system. The game has matured significantly, and that has showed in the wishlist count of the game, which we increased by about 50% by the end of the festival.
New artstyle and combat system featuring whirlwind
Next up is Endless Replayability Fest! Starting on May 13, it lasts until May 20 and will feature games with procedural generation and roguelike elements. We are a perfect match for it. ːsteamhappyː
We want to prepare well for this event. After going through a lot of player feedback, we've realized it's finally time to put focus on tutorial and polish. We want to show what Lost In The Open really has to offer. That has been hindered by player's not being given enough guidance and clarity during gameplay. We want to iron out the edges and add dynamic tutorials (think Baldur's Gate 3!) to make it less confusing and more fun to play the game.
After that, it's time for Steam Next Fest on June 10... but more on that another time :)
/!\ Changed key system /!\ -E to place in storage / pick up an object from the ground -Right click to take from storage
Addition: - You can deposit the contents of the sphere in the appropriate storages (Sphere in hand) - You can take the contents of a storage to put it in the sphere (Sphere in hand)
- The fruit and vegetable crate is now destructible - You can take bags of cement from the stands - You can take the buckets of wood chips from the stands - You can take the wooden planks from the stands - You can take bags of coals from the stands - The coal bag can now be added into the sphere - You can place a crate of fruits and vegetables in the composter (Each mini crate is counted)
As the title says, Reus 2 will be released on May 28th. We've been discussing with Abbey Games in order to give the game the most chances for release, and we both agreed on slightly postponing the game one week later as announced previously. For some of you, mighty giants, a few extra days may mean nothing, but at the human scale, it will make the difference!
New Titans, numerous biotica and symbiosis to discover, a planet to fill with life, a whole galaxy to create from the void of space... On May 28th, the power of creation - and destruction - will be yours to play with! (and there will be capybaras so....)
Thank you all for your constant support and we will come back to you with upcoming news soon.
Schwarzerblitz v1.6 is coming soon as a last big update... and I need all the player feedback I can get! The release candidate version is available in the endless-beta branch of the game. To access it:
Right Click on Schwarzerblitz in your Steam Library
Select Beta
Input the password mysteryjohnson to access the endless-beta channel
Switch to the endless-beta channel and let the game update
A new character
Lucia Lunarossa, originally released as a Workshop character, will be added to the game in an official form as character #28, to be unlocked by clearing Arcade mode with Mira and Lazor OR Leo and Rattlebone OR Renzo, Mono, Wally and Shaz. She sports an updated and more polished moveset (and, hopefully, more balanced), while still having access to all her transformations
A new juggle system
The juggle system has been revamped to allow for more freeform combos. Every character has now access to a universal launcher that costs one Bullet Counter and a new evasion mechanic called Trigger Escape. A new tutorial section has been added specifically to address this new content. Each character will also receive a new combo trial that makes use of the new juggle mechanics.
Version select
You've read it right! All the characters have now access to most of their old movesets, ranging from the very first 2017 Alpha version to the latest update. Version select must be toggled in the options and changes, among other things, how gravity, juggles, mechanics and wake up options behave. If you want a taste of an older Schwarzerblitz version, be sure to check it out!
Unlockable story characters
Previously unplayable characters that appeared during the story, such as Army Soldier and Broken Krave, can now be unlocked for Free Match. They can be selected by keeping the Trigger button pressed down while hovering on a certain character.
To cry wolf
In addition to the above, there is also a new secret arcade boss fight. The conditions to get it are pretty hard, but not impossible if you have already met and beaten Arkaneis in Arcade Mode:
Don't get any Perfect wins before match #3. If you meet K-069 at any moment during your run, you failed this condition.
Obtain at least 2 Perfect wins after match #3.
Play at Hard or higher.
Win two times or more by Ring Out
Never lose a round nor continue
Defeat Doll in match #6
The new boss will replace Donner as the final arcade boss
Quality of life improvements
As one last thing, there will be a couple bug fixes and general improvements, such as:
Replaced some old animations, such as the universal backdash and Kiyoko's run
Improved Record&Replay function in Training Mode
A 3-frames buffer for making links more consistent
A general rebalancing of the cast
Small improvements to the CPU-controlled opponent logic
The update will drop within a couple months, so any additional feedback NOW is well appreciated!
