Hey everyone,

After two long years, we’re super excited to finally announce EarthX 2! :D



Please consider adding EarthX 2 to your wishlist (the algorithms are unforgiving :/)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1486940

I started making EarthX when I was 17, basically learning game dev on the fly. While I somehow managed to create a nice gameplay loop with a lot of cool features, the code became a giant spaghetti mess. This made updates and fixes harder and harder to implement, which limited the creativity in the long run. EarthX is still awesome, but it could be even more awesome—hence EarthX 2! By starting fresh, we could create a cleaner codebase and project structure and go *totally wild* with new ideas.

I rebuilt the entire game from the ground up while Lucas overhauled the graphics. It took thousands of hours, but now we can finally include second stages, custom space stations, mini-games, new planets, a completely new and fresh UI, more unique rockets & spacecraft, and all those little features we’ve always wanted to add.

EarthX 2 feels far more refined than EarthX 1—though you’ll have to see for yourself later this year!



We’re super hyped to hear what you think, and we really can’t wait to release EarthX 2 and start rolling out new updates together with you all, so please make our dream come true and consider adding EarthX 2 to your wishlist! <3

Have an amazing month ~and see you soon!
Denis & Lucas

The countdown is on, Warriors of the Ratdom. 🐀 Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter launches in just seven days on January 28th, inviting you to take up arms as Arlo and brave the frozen expanse of the Northern Wastes.

To get you ready for the brutal journey ahead, we’ve unveiled the Gameplay Overview Trailer, a thrilling look at the game’s visceral combat, powerful magic system, and high-stakes monster hunts. Check it out now and prepare to rise to the challenge!





The vast, unforgiving Northern Wastes serve as the backdrop for this epic tale. With six unique biomes ranging from frozen tundras to perilous swamplands, every step of Arlo’s journey is fraught with danger. These lands are as beautiful as they are deadly, hiding secrets, treasures, and challenges for those brave enough to explore.




The world of Tails of Iron 2 is one of struggle and survival. The devastating Dark Wings have returned from myth, unleashing destruction along the Ratdom’s northern frontier. It falls to Arlo, the hardened heir of the North, to unite the scattered clans and rally them under one banner. As the new Warden of Winter’s Edge, Arlo must rebuild not only his keep but also the trust of his people to stand against the returning darkness.




Monstrous beasts roam the Northern Wastes, threatening the lives of its residents. By accepting contracts from locals, Arlo can embark on hunts to take down these deadly creatures. Each of these challenges is a test of strength, strategy, and survival. The rewards? Rare materials to craft powerful equipment, glory to bolster Arlo’s legend, and the satisfaction of ridding the land of its greatest threats.




Winter’s Edge, once a proud and mighty fortress, lies in ruins after the devastating assault of the Dark Wings. This ancient stronghold, nestled in the heart of the Northern Wastes, is the home that Arlo is sworn to protect and restore. Rebuilding Winter’s Edge is no easy task, but it’s vital to reclaiming the kingdom’s former glory.




Victory in Tails of Iron 2 depends on preparation. Weapons and armour now come with elemental buffs and resistances, making tactical decision-making more important than ever. Enemies have specific weaknesses, and choosing the right tools for the job can mean the difference between survival and defeat. From the blacksmith’s forge to the battlefield, Arlo’s arsenal is key to his success.




Arlo’s journey introduces a game-changing feature: the Elementa magic system. Gifted by the ancient gods, Arlo can wield the devastating powers of:

Electric ⚡: Call lightning from the heavens to stun multiple enemies.
Fire 🔥: Launch searing flameblasts to incinerate foes.
Ice ❄️: Unleash freezing gusts to stop enemies in their tracks.
Poison ☠️: Inflict lingering damage to weaken entire groups of foes.

These abilities can be upgraded throughout the game, adding layers of depth and strategy to combat. Mastering them is essential to defeating the strongest enemies and overcoming the harshest trials.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2473480/Tails_of_Iron_2_Whiskers_of_Winter?snr=2___
With launch day just around the corner, we can’t wait for you to step into Arlo’s boots and take on the challenges of the frozen North. From mastering brutal combat to rebuilding a kingdom and forging new alliances, Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter promises an unforgettable adventure.
