Welcome back Auraxians,
Summer is in full swing; and the long-awaited Infiltrator Rework PTS update is live! In today’s letter you’ll learn about the new additions, changes and balance adjustments to the Infiltrator class. We hope you enjoy the PTS update, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences with the changes.
The new Infiltrator rework aims to reduce the class's overreliance on high-damage ambushes while expanding their utility in team-based play. The class is being adjusted to support more tactical, flexible gameplay. We recognize how impactful and potentially jarring these class and playstyle changes can be.
Therefore, we invite you to fill out our new PTS survey on the changes. The survey is live and we encourage you to partake in it as you complete your playtest this weekend. Your feedback is very important to us, so be sure to drop your feedback!
Cloaking Adjustments
Increased delay between decloaking and firing
Cloaked players are now more visible and audible at close range
Stalker Cloak no longer allows infinite stealth while moving
Increased delay between decloaking and firing
Cloak effectiveness decreases significantly at close distances
Deployable scout drone controlled by the Infiltrator
Can mark enemies for allies within a limited range
The EMP Grenade drop feature is available for use.
Infiltrator remains stationary and vulnerable while piloting the drone
Drone has a limited battery, low health, and emits detectable audio/visual cues
Certification options include extended range, longer mark duration, and offensive upgrades
The drone cannot be used in conjunction with cloaking abilities
New Observer Implant for the Engineer class. By equipping this implant, Spitfire turrets can now spot cloaked Infiltrators and attack them
Multiple implants, including Dead Man Trigger, have received critical feedback.
Dev Note: We are reviewing this feedback and are exploring adjustments to improve their design, clarity, and tactical value
Dead Man Trigger is not cancelled, but is under active redesign to ensure it feels meaningful and fair
This update marks just the first phase of the rework
Additional changes are planned in later phases based on testing and community input. We want to share 2 main changes planned for phase 2. If we are satisfied with their quality, we will present them to the community for evaluation in future playtests
The Recon Drone's ability to spot and mark even cloaked infiltrators
Well distinguishable visual effect of glare from sniper scopes. The effect will be noticeable even on cloaked Infiltrators looking through the scope
We received some feedback about the low quality of animated camouflages from the June PTS update, especially on vehicles. We agree with this assessment and are currently actively refining them! Expect animated camouflages in future updates!
Player feedback from the PTS will guide tuning, usability improvements, and future development. It's very important for us to know your thoughts to make the game better in the best way possible! Please keep in mind that this is the first iteration of the infiltrator rework. We will continue updating the Infiltrator class based on gathered statistics and your feedback!
We look forward to your support and shared experiences from the PTS update!
See you PlanetSide this weekend, soldier!

The world of Caravanners is based on camping with your caravan. For example, the map design is similar to Forza Horizon, but offers a world not as dense as GTA4 or GTA5. Caravanners embraces a concept intertwined with nature. It features towns, small cities, long roads, and districts. It offers a variety of jobs and missions depending on the area. The world of Caravanners has a day-night cycle and different weather conditions.

The entire map is not shown in this Devlog.
To survive, you need to eat and drink.
You can earn money and buy food or head to the lake and catch your own fish. The choice is yours.
But remember: you'll need to build a fire to cook any fish you catch.
And if you relieve yourself in nature, you'll be fined. 💸
So make sure to either install a toilet in your camper or find a public restroom.
Plan wisely nature has its own rules.
❤️ Health Bar
🥩 Hunger Bar
🚰 Water Bar

We’ll continue to add new mechanics and features through updates during the Early Access period, right after launch.
You'll start the game with an old, small kei truck.
With this little truck, you'll need to earn money and eventually buy your first van.
Once you own a van, you can begin customizing it and design the camper of your dreams.
But turning that dream into reality takes money... and time.
It's a journey.
A sweet road to your dreams! 🚐✨

After the Early Access launch, new vehicle customization options will be added frequently throughout the Early Access period including cockpit customization, exhaust choices, and more.
Here are the vehicles currently available, but the number of vehicles will quickly increase with the first updates. As you know, the game is in early access, and we are growing it based on your requests. You can let us know which vehicles you want on Discord. Class A luxury bus caravans will be added after the early access launch through updates. By the time those updates arrive, you will likely have just finished your first T2 van. Currently, many caravans have completed their 3D modeling, and the software details are being prepare

Kei pickup (Color customizable)
T2 Van (Exterior and Interior detailed customizable)
Trailer
This trailer can be used with all vans and kei pickups. More trailer types will be available with updates. We're sure to have some big surprises in store.
As mentioned in the announcement, due to a major bug, we're rebuilding all the vans. Originally, all of these vehicles were ready. We're currently re-preparing them and working to deliver them quickly. It may not be ready by launch. But even if it's not ready by launch, it will be ready within the first two weeks.
Mer 310D: Detailed 3D models ready. Programming of the vehicle is in progress. (Developing)
Maxcamper: Detailed 3D models ready. Programming of the vehicle is in progress. (Developing)
GMG: Detailed 3D models ready. Programming of the vehicle is in progress. (Developing)
Kordeco: 3D models ready. Programming of the vehicle is in progress. (Developing)
Noxer: Detailed 3D models ready. Programming of the vehicle is in progress. (Developing)
And more Van vehicles will coming!
We attach great importance to these types of vehicles and we do special work for A-class luxury vehicles.
You can upgrade the engine in van vehicles. There are a total of 3 engine levels. As you upgrade, the vehicle's performance improves. Engine upgrades can be done inside the technical garage and require payment.
At high speeds, the engine can overheat, and your vehicle may experience heat-related issues. When this happens, you must wait briefly for the engine to cool down. As you upgrade the engine, the chance of overheating decreases due to improved cooling efficiency.
Fuel consumption also varies depending on the engine level.
A vehicle has an engine health. This can deteriorate depending on various factors. When the engine breaks down, you click on the engine to call for service. You then teleport to the mechanic. You can repair your vehicle at the service center.
With future updates, newer repair mechanics will be introduced. (Tire bursts and other breakdowns)
There are many gas stations on the map. These stations offer restrooms and some items for purchase.
You can drive to the station and fill up with gas. Manual refueling is not currently available. However, with the update, you'll be able to refuel yourself. Fuel consumption also varies depending on your engine level and speed.
Your vehicle gets dirty over time. When it does, you can have it washed for a fee.

🐟 Fishing
And more...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fho4Ymjfz24&t=2s&ab_channel=Caravanners
The map features numerous swimmable lakes located in various areas. You can fish in these lakes using a fishing rod. Fishing cannot be done while swimming. Currently, fishing is only available in lakes.
The reason for this is that the map includes hundreds of kilometers of ocean, and enabling fishing in such a vast area is technically challenging and not yet ready. We plan to enable sea fishing in future updates.
However, for now, the lakes are more than sufficient. There are plenty of large lakes with beautiful scenery, offering a great fishing experience.
You can purchase and use storage units as you wish. There are warehouses in many locations on the map. There's a plaque at the storage entrance where you can write your name. This way, when playing with friends, everyone can designate their own storage unit. Electricity is charged at storage units. When the electricity runs out, you'll need to purchase it again.

There will also be different structures available for purchase.
Cars, trucks and vans of different sizes are driving on the roads.
There are various ways to earn money. For example, you can go to the oil trading center and buy oil barrels. You can fill the barrels at the oil pumps and sell them back to the oil trading center.
You can earn both reputation points and money by clearing certain areas in nature.
Fishing and selling the fish you catch.
Photography tasks and earning money.
There are many ways to earn money.
There are also many exploration missions. There are certain tasks you must complete in various locations on the map. These missions allow you to explore many locations on the map. In keeping with the spirit of Caravanners, there are missions focused on travel and exploration.
The video was prepared with low graphics settings. It shows how to make money by selling oil barrels.

Our game will be released in early access soon. There is a lot for you to discover.
Dear Inmates,
Back to the Dawn is still on sale at 15% off, but the discount ends tomorrow. If you haven’t "entered prison" yet, now’s the time—don’t miss out!
Our game first entered Early Access in the winter of 2023, and it’s thanks to your support along the way that we’ve made it this far.
Some players once told us, “Thomas's storyline was already rich enough at the start of EA, why not move on to developing the new character, the Panther, sooner?” We truly appreciate this kind of understanding, but our small team tends to be a little stubborn. Just like how we insisted on entering Early Access in the first place—even if some players felt Thomas's route was already complete, to us, it wasn’t. So we chose to remain in EA until it felt truly finished.
To be honest, being a "Chinese EA game” has brought some doubt, and made some players hesitant to buy. But we have no regrets. Time will speak for itself. This was our first time developing something entirely the way we wanted.
And when we launched the game, your support gave us the confidence to go all-in. We poured all our resources and passion into this project, even at the cost of overextending ourselves.
This is the reality of most indie games—we constantly walk the line between ambition and practicality. Breathing life into this world and its characters is far from easy. Due to time and budget constraints, we’ve had to give up on many creative ideas we once envisioned.
Back to the Dawn is not a perfect game, but we can proudly say: we love every brick and tile of Boulderton Prison, and we’ve done our best to polish it with care. What we can promise is this—in the limited time we had, we gave it everything we’ve got.
On August 5, the game will officially leave Early Access and the price of the game will increase to $23.99 USD. This is something we promised from the beginning and a decision we made carefully. Rest assured, even though the game will be officially released, our work on Back to the Dawn won’t stop. We’ll continue monitoring its performance, actively fixing issues based on your feedback, and releasing optimizations as needed to provide a more stable and complete experience.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1735700/Back_to_the_Dawn/
Time flies—it’s already the beginning of autumn again. It’s been three and a half years since we released our very first demo. Thank you for sticking with us all this time. As a CRPG, Back to the Dawn is not a “simple” game, and we’ve been lucky enough to meet a group of “not-so-simple” players.
Thank you for taking the time to experience the game and share it with your friends. Most of all, thank you for your support and patience. If this game has brought you any joy, then we’ve achieved our goal.
“Adversity may break us, but don’t let it defeat us.”

Update on the Pricing Adjustment Progress:
Dear Inmates,
We have submitted a pricing adjustment request to Steam, but it was rejected as price changes are not allowed within 30 days after a game’s official release. We are currently confirming whether this 30-day period is counted from the end of the discount or from the release date. As a result, we will need to postpone the price adjustment to the week of August 18. If there are any further changes to this timeline, we will promptly update everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Hey Syndi fam,
This month we got our hands dirty, sculpting the world of A.L.A.R.M. into something that breathes, watches, and sometimes coughs up loot.
Here’s what we’ve been working on 👇
Press Q and boom! Animated pathfinding kicks in, guiding you to your quest with style.
HUD now shows:
Quest direction
Compass
Mini-map and main map
TL;DR: We have quests now. Real ones. With choices and consequences and sass.
We’re starting localization! 🈳
There’s a sign in Yachimu; your first real destination and it now displays translated text. Expect a screenshot in the post to show it off.
Krucifear’s been building the Underground Awakening exit area:
A weathered sign for Yachimu
A hidden chest
A strange reprint symbol you can interact with
Speaking of chests…
Open a chest and it doesn’t just pop. It cyber disintegrates, scanned away in flashy hoops with a crisp notification showing what you got.
We’ve stashed chests all over the world; perfect for those of us who need to explore every cranny.
We’re using Ravens to guide you—organically. You’ll spot them circling or perched in places of interest.
They’re not just birds... they’re Olivia’s eyes. 👁
She sees you.
We show Draven sitting by a campfire and with a makeshift bamboo bed. It’s more than a cozy scene, it’s your first taste of shelter.
Sleep in ALARM isn’t a chore—it’s survival.
Draven can go ~24h without sleep before stats start to dip
At 48h, they tank
At 72h, she collapses and passes out
And while Draven and Glim are napping like fools on the dirt? A Concubine might just slink out of the mist and drag you off.
On the far edge of Yachimu lies a crumbling Canopy Corp hospital—once used for sinister Arquanum experiments.
Spoiler: it didn’t go well.
Outside, the fields are littered with abominations; failed Arquanum fusions that now roam the broken soil. You can sneak past them. Should you? Debatable.
Inside the hospital:
Archived logs of experimentation
Detailed records of a “captured” Concubine
(News flash: she wasn’t caught. The Mist Maiden let her be taken… so she could watch. Through her eyes.)
One of our favorite log lines:
“Concubine skin is like steel wrapped in silk. Blades, bullets—useless.”
You’ll feel the weight of those words when you're being hunted by one.
The Mist is a character in A.L.A.R.M.
It moves with you.
Watches you.
It reacts to your choices and helps shape the world.
And this month?
We tamed it.
The Mist listens now. But for how long?
That’s it for now. Video’s dropping with this post, showing everything in action. Wishlist if you haven’t. Or don’t. But Olivia might send a Raven. 🐦😈
Until next time…
Stay Syndi.
— Teella & Krucifear 🖤
