Hi everyone! You might not have heard a lot lately about the progress of Game With Balls, but it were a couple of busy months. But! While not making videos I was actually still working on levels. So that is what this little mini develog is about. Still planing a beginning of 2026 release.

With the conclusion of Steam Next Fest, we have ended the demo version release.

Thank you very much for all the plays and wishlist additions.

Based on the feedback we received, we will proceed with improvements for the Early Access version.

Please refer to the image below for details.

We would be grateful for your continued support of ‘NAMAKORIUM’.

Thank you for your continued support.

• The ending of level 4 has been updated! It should be more beatable now.
  
• You can now see how many levels a map has when starting a level.
  
• Fixed a bug where if two bottles broke at the same time, they would automatically self-destruct upon respawning.
  
• We reduced the game size by 84 MB!
  
• Fixed a camera bug in level 3.

I’ll continue working on the demo version of the game! It will be released in a few months, so further updates to the playtest will only happen if necessary.

Help us test these changes! Thanks a lot for the feedback!

In this update, we renewed some environmental models due to optimization issues in the game and prepared the city layout as Part 1. This allowed us to achieve both improved performance and a more balanced city appearance. With the Part 2 update, we will further enhance the city layout and add more environmental details.

The system shown in the screenshot (RTX 4080 Super) achieved an average FPS increase of +45. It was also tested on an RTX 2050 Laptop system, where performance improved from 22 FPS to 50 FPS. Overall optimization has been enhanced, and these values will be further improved in future updates.

In future updates, to bring more variety to the game world, we will renew the traffic vehicles and add new vehicle types. This will make city traffic more lively, dynamic, and realistic.

We would also like to mention that we are currently working on several systems for future updates.

We’re aware that the gameplay can become repetitive over time with the buy-and-sell mechanics, so we’re planning to introduce a new system soon that will bring fresh dynamics to the gameplay. There are many features listed on our roadmap — stay tuned!

We’ll continue improving the game day by day by taking your ideas and feedback into account.

A car wash system has been added to gas stations. Now, when your vehicles get dirty, you’ll be able to clean them quickly without having to go all the way back to the dealership.

• The city buildings have been completely redesigned.

• Optimization has been improved.

• 2 new vehicles have been added.

• An automatic car wash system has been added to gas stations.

• The Unity version has been updated to the latest version for security reasons.

• Zoom in / zoom out functionality has been added to the map.

• The purchasing probability of NPCs buying vehicles in the market has been balanced (reduced).

What a week! 🎉

It’s hard to put into words how exciting the last few days have been for the Digital Sagas team. After months of late nights, playtesting, and polish, we finally launched the demo for No One Leaves the Field on Steam. Seeing players step into the wheat for the first time has been both thrilling and surreal.

Every wishlist, comment, and bit of feedback means the world to us — it’s a reminder that all the work and care we’ve poured into this strange, haunted world is connecting with players.

Even better, our little folk horror story caught the eye of Bloody Disgusting, one of the biggest names in horror. Their feature on the demo felt like a dream moment — and a huge milestone for our debut title.

Since the demo went live, we’ve pushed a small update that:

• Improves environmental lighting

• Enhances the task manager

• Adds additional quality-of-life fixes and polish

Thank you to everyone who’s played the demo so far — your feedback is helping us make No One Leaves the Fieldeven stronger ahead of release.

We’re gearing up for Steam Scream Fest, which kicks off October 27!
Our team has been creating new visuals, banners, and video content to showcase No One Leaves the Field throughout the event. It’s an incredible opportunity to share the game with even more horror fans as Halloween approaches.

---

Right after Scream Fest, we’ll be joining Indie Playtest Fest, where players can share their feedback directly with us. We’ve also built a showcase video for the event that we’ll be premiering soon on YouTube and Indie Sagas.

---

It’s been a milestone week filled with big moments, great community support, and the kind of energy that fuels every indie developer’s dream.

Thank you all for being part of this journey — and for wandering into the field with us. 🌾

Join the Saga.
