2024 was an incredible year — we held several major Esports events that were high-intensity, with many teams taking part and coming out with success, victory and lots of emotion. Now it’s time to find out who will take home the Grand Champion title of 2024!

What better way to do this than to bring together the 8 best teams of the 2024 season and have them battle it out in a unique tournament featuring a variety of new game modes? Will the DODEC Team continue their success story with 3 major wins out of 4? That’s what we’ll find out in Thunder CUP 2025.



All about the Thunder CUP 2025 tournament
This year, we’ve decided to make the teams compete in a variety of formats that are representative of the Esports 2024 season.



Each team will consist of a roster of 8 players.

We’ll start with the first weekend in 4v4 tank format for our tank commanders.

During the second weekend we’ll feature a 4v4 jet format with 4-point maps that include the much sought-after “D” point.

During the last weekend, the final of this event will take place in a format most known and loved by Esports players, the 5v5 mixed format. Teams will clash on the beloved Advance to the Rhine map, which has been reworked to make gameplay truly epic!

Cattle Country - Playtonic Steve
Howdy, folks!

We’ve got some exciting news: Horses are galloping into Cattle Country for the next Steam Next Fest! Whether you’re rounding up cattle, exploring the frontier, or just taking in the sights, there’s no better way to travel than with your very own loyal steed.

Meet Your New Best Friend



Every player will have the chance to welcome a horse to their farm. This isn’t just any horse—it’s your horse. You’ll get to name your new companion and make them a part of your ranching life. Treat them well, and they’ll be your steadfast partner through thick and thin.

In the full game, you'll need to craft a stable first, but for the Next Fest demo, you'll have a horse ready to go!

Explore in Style

Say goodbye to slow walks across the prairie (Unless that takes your fancy, of course!) With your trusty steed, you’ll cover ground faster and explore Cattle Country in style. Whether you’re blazing trails or heading into town, everything’s better on horseback.

Get Ready to Ride!

Horses arrive in Cattle Country as part of February's Next Fest, so saddle up and get ready to ride into the frontier!

Stay tuned for more updates, and we’ll see you on horseback real soon!

Freaked Fleapit - Neon Freak
Heeeeeey Guests of the Fleapit~
Guess who’s back with a brand new devlog!

As always, January’s kind of a slow month for us, so we won’t have that many updates for y’all today, but at least we’re here and we brought some cute arts! So without further ado, let’s begin the first Fleapit HQ Direct of 2025.

Ready? Let’s gooooooo!

All Rise, The Court is Now in Session

In Freaked Fleapit you’ll have many opportunities and places to date cute demon girls. But since Ruby’s, errr, a special case, we’re making sure that every encounter with her is as unforgettable and bonkers as the pink-underboobed-poltergeist herself.

So, here’s your very special date right in the courtroom. Featuring Ruby as Judge, Jury and Executioner all at the same time.



But don’t fret, guests of the Fleapit, cuz you’ll be represented in the Inferno’s Court of Almighty Law by the one and only Attorney Extraordinare – Ryubichi Na-Ruby-hodo (name strictly placeholder, Capcom don’t sue us pls)



Will you go to jail or will you go to horny jail? Find out sometime in the future when Freaked Fleapit drops!

Ok, that’s enough of this bit, moving on to the

Compendium

In one of our previous devlogs we mentioned Thales, a literal encyclopedia about the whole of Inferno found in the depths of Limbo.

Well, we can now also reveal that he’s gonna be your one and only database of all things Fleapit! All the relevant info about perks, items and enemies will be meticulously stored within this extremely arrogant (and extremely horny) book, so better get used to this insufferable nerd while you can!



Little Babies, Please Take A Look
Enough said, honestly. Please let us know if you want to see more of them and maybe we’ll make them into a cosmetic of sorts lmao



Freaked Fleapit OST Teaser via Magnetude

Our previous soundtrack teaser from the Circle of Gluttony was met with such overwhelming love that we had to ask our composers at Magnetude if we could share more.

And BOY did they deliver! So please enjoy one more minute of Gluttony’s Beats to Get Eaten To, Guests of the Fleapit!!



More Perks PogChamp More Perks PogChamp

Looks like Andy found out about Inferno’s best financial tool called BNPN aka Buy Now Pay Never. At least until the Inferno Police don't pay enough attention to it…

What that means for the player is there’s a chance that your current item will not be consumed after using, so don’t go hoarding all those boosters until the end of the round, ok?



Quick Fleapit Trivia Bit: Succubi

The Succubi that have earned their freedom and have become more zealous in their duties. They seduce and then trap sinners using their many tentacles.

But as time went on, the succubus realized how defenseless and shy she was outside the container, so she decided to keep her distance from the lustful sinners.



And that brings us to the end of our devlog! Thank you for stopping by, and see you next time for yet another Fleapit's Freaky Grab Bag (as always, available one week earlier for our Patreon supporters, hit us up on Patreon to learn more: http://patreon.com/FinchBird)

Until then, don’t forget to follow us on the real Inferno that is Twitter and join the Freaked Fleapit Discord server to stay up to date on all the latest news and other degenerate antics!

See ya next month~

Finch Bird Team & CRITICAL REFLEX signing off!

Nivalis - Camilla505games
2025, as you know, is a big year for Nivalis, and it has kicked off with plenty of excitement and challenges to tackle. We’ve taken the opportunity to come together as a team to analyze and discuss some of the features awaiting you in the game, refining the details and considering the improvements needed to achieve our goal: immersing you in a city that feels alive, whether it’s day or night.

In this community blog, we’ll be talking about some of the features we’ve been working on this month, giving you a glimpse into the activities you’ll experience in Nivalis.

FISHING AT NIGHT 🍣

In Nivalis, gathering ingredients for your business’s kitchen will mainly be your responsibility. A well-stocked pantry is essential to satisfy the orders of hungry customers, and running out of ingredients can be costly for your wallet. You’ll have access to a variety of merchants with whom you can trade and build business relationships, but sometimes it might be more practical to take matters into your own hands and... go fishing.

At the docks, you’ll be able to set sail on your boat to search for the perfect catch for your sushi dishes, whether during the day or at night. This month, we’ve worked to ensure you can not only enjoy fishing during daylight hours but also experience the gentle rocking of the sea at sunset and take advantage of nighttime fishing opportunities. When exhaustion sets in, your boat will serve as a cozy refuge where you can rest and spend the night.



KEEP AN EYE ON THE NEWSPAPER 📰

Staying up to date is essential in a bustling city like Nivalis, where there’s never a dull moment. That’s why every morning, you’ll have the chance to read the local newspaper to catch up on the latest news and, occasionally, find information that - if you’re clever enough to take advantage of - could give your business a significant edge.

For instance, the start of the fishing season or a sudden drought could influence the availability (and therefore the price) of various goods on the market. Stay sharp, plan your daily purchases wisely, and don’t let these changes catch you off guard.


Now it’s your turn: what activities would you like to experience in Nivalis? Let us know, and maybe we can explore them further in the next community blog!

See you soon 🍜
Sins of a Solar Empire II - [SD] redskittlesonly
v1.32: The Picturesque Planets Update
View the Full Changelog

The latest update for Sins of a Solar Empire II, titled "The Picturesque Planets Update," introduces several noteworthy features that expand gameplay and strategic options for players. This update, version 1.32, enhances both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the game, providing new planetary types, artifacts, and improvements to AI behavior.

New Planet Type: Ice Asteroid
One of the standout additions in this update is the Ice Asteroid, a new variant of the traditional asteroid. This icy celestial body supports an additional Commerce level, enabling players to extract more resources. It also allows for the construction of additional Crystal Extractors, significantly increasing the Crystal Mining rate. However, players should note that Ice Asteroids do not provide a Metal Mining rate, which may require adjustments in resource management strategies.

New Uncolonizable Gravity Well: Ice Field
The update also introduces the Ice Field, a new uncolonizable gravity well that adds a layer of complexity to tactical engagements. This hazardous area inflicts partial damage reflection on any unit that fires its weapons while inside, making it a risky environment for combat. Players will need to consider the implications of engaging in this gravity well, as it could turn the tide of battle in unexpected ways.

New Ship Artifacts
In terms of ship enhancements, two new artifacts have been added that can significantly impact gameplay.
  • Mass Negation Core: This movement artifact allows ships equipped with it—and all allied ships within the same gravity well—to accelerate nearly instantly, turn rapidly, and achieve higher speeds. This could be a game-changer in terms of mobility, enabling players to reposition their fleets more effectively during engagements.
  • Weapon Symbiote: This combat artifact increases the weapon rate of fire for the ship it is installed on. While it is limited to a single ship, its impact in battles could be substantial, allowing for bursts of firepower that may catch opponents off guard.
New Planet Artifact: Tachyon Comms Relay
The Tachyon Comms Relay is a new logistical artifact that enhances the strategic depth of controlling certain planets. It increases the maximum supply for the empire that controls it, potentially allowing for larger fleets and more sustained military operations. Players will need to prioritize securing these relays to gain an upper hand in resource management.

AI Improvements
One of the most exciting aspects of this update is the series of AI improvements designed to make enemy fleets more unpredictable and challenging. The newly introduced Chaos Factor will lead the AI to vary its fleet sizes when attacking players. Higher difficulty levels will see the AI more frequently overmatch players, while lower difficulties may result in underestimation of the player’s fleet capabilities.

Additionally, the AI now has access to Capital Ship and Titan item builds. This feature allows the AI to follow preset item loadouts tailored specifically for each class of ship. Players can expect to see more effective use of Flak Burst by TEC AI capital ships, further enhancing the challenge and strategic considerations during gameplay. Notably, modders will find this system flexible, as it supports modded items, enabling custom loadouts for AI-controlled ships.


Overall, the Picturesque Planets Update for Sins of a Solar Empire II v1.32 brings a range of new features that enhance both the gameplay and strategic depth of the title. With new planetary types, artifacts, and AI improvements, players have more tools at their disposal to navigate the complexities of space warfare. As always, the developers are committed to refining the experience, and this update is a testament to that ongoing effort. Whether you're a veteran player or new to the franchise, there’s plenty to explore and adapt to in this latest version.
