The development team of BackRooms X is pleased to announce the launch of the closed alpha version of the game.
This is a significant milestone in the project's development, and we invite a limited number of players to be among the first to evaluate key gameplay aspects and help us improve the game ahead of its full release.
Participation in the testing is limited. Access to the alpha version will be granted via special keys, which can be obtained through official giveaways and events hosted on our Discord channel.
If you wish to become part of the testing community and contribute to the development of BackRooms X, stay tuned for updates in our official communities and on the game's Steam page.
Your feedback and suggestions are extremely important to us. Together, we can make BackRooms X a truly unique game in the backrooms genre.
Hello everyone, and welcome to the second developer diary for Iron Convoy!
In this devlog, we want to share what we have accomplished so far and the steps we plan to take moving forward.
An Important Period Ahead! We have a crucial period coming up as we prepare to showcase our demo during Steam Next Fest. Over the past two weeks, we have reached 500 wishlists, which is an exciting milestone for us! We sincerely thank everyone who has shown interest in our game, played the demo, added it to their wishlist, and shared their feedback.
During this time, we have received a lot of feedback regarding both the demo and the early access version. We have worked hard to address the feedback as quickly as possible and fix any issues. Our goal is to make Iron Convoy even more enjoyable for you, and we will continue improving the game at full speed!
Steam Next Fest! We released our demo about two weeks ago, and many players have supported us since then. Thank you all for your incredible support!
Yesterday, we released another update for the demo. Before Next Fest begins, we plan to release one final hotfix and update. After that, our focus will shift towards preparing for early access.
Early Access! While we cannot give an exact release date yet, we plan to launch early access shortly after Next Fest. In fact, we have already started preparing for it! As we previously shared in our roadmap, we have a clear vision of the content and features we want to add during this phase.
For the early access release, we aim to fix existing issues, expand gameplay, and introduce the first chapter of the story.
What’s Coming in Early Access? Improved Combat System – More diverse enemies, formation changes, new abilities, and a greater focus on tactical battles!
Trade System – Trade will now influence the in-game economy. As you explore cities, you will hear rumors and gather trade tips, helping you make strategic decisions.
Warlords – Powerful enemies will roam certain areas of the map. While these battles will be more challenging, they will also reward you with unique loot that cannot be found elsewhere.
Vehicles & Convoy Customization – New vehicles will be added, allowing you to shape your convoy as you see fit. We will also introduce more customization options for existing vehicles.
New Missions – Additional quests will be introduced, expanding both gameplay and the main story!
We are working tirelessly to make Iron Convoy the best experience it can be. Thank you once again for following and supporting us!
The Alpha 143 Version Update is Here! Hey Aurorian Soldiers!
Exciting news from PQ, your EFAS designer! We've just rolled out an update packed with three game-changing upgrades you won't want to miss:
Enhanced Defensive Shotshells: Shields now activate without using ammo! This means your shield can take the hit, leading to smoother weapon performance and more stability in battle.
Improved Slide Mechanics: We've supercharged your sliding response! Evade incoming fire with newfound agility - maneuvering has never felt this smooth!
Brand New Building Designs: Explore our fresh selection of unique building appearances! Plus, we've revamped construction guidance to make planning your layouts a breeze.
But that's not all! There's a ton of new content waiting for you to dive into. We know there are still areas to improve, especially in base building gameplay, so we're eager for your feedback. Your suggestions go directly to our development team, helping us make the game even better! We can't wait to see you on the other side of the star gate! Oh, and keep an eye out—soldiers in the base are getting identical behaviors and personalities soon, thanks to our "Soldier Awakening Project" currently in the works!
Happy gaming!
