• New file inside mod folders: Manifest.json. With the rework of the mod manager UI, some information relative to the mod can now be seen (author, mod version, description of the mod, dependencies, etc). I would like to invite all modders to update their mod with the new file (new file is automatically added to any mod whenever you open the Mods Manager UI menu).

• Modding menu UI. Clearer and simpler to use.
  
• Mods loading order are now exactly as shown on the new modding UI menu, mods will be loaded from top to bottom.
  
• AI units marked as scenario victory condition (must be killed in order to win the scenario) now are going to flee away from enemy units. As an example, the battle of Midway or the Coral sea had such victory conditions, the carriers will no longer rush into the enemy fleet, but flee instead.
  
• Store menu no longer resets after closing it and reopening it (your basket will be kept intact).
  
• Mods thumbnail template has been updated.
  
• Quicksaves naming convention, clearer and more informative now.
  
• Reworked the stats of all artillery (towed) with 15 and less damage.
  
• Artillery with 15 damage and above or 3 range and above are now considered as heavy and have the 'move or attack' mechanic.

• Cavalry had wrong localized name for Napoleonic Wars mod.
  
• Operation Uranus (Allied campaign scenario) had no victory conditions.
  
• UI scaling issue with the end of turn summary.
  
• Removed annoying Aleutian islands major victory points on Pacific 1941. As a result, I will have to reset the Steam leaderboard for that specific scenario as this will change the victory quite a lot.
  
• In very specific situations, the AI would skip some of its units (if a unit died during its own turn and another one was playing before, that next unit would be skipped).

This past weekend, Miniatures made its way to Kyoto, Japan! Thank you, BitSummit, for having us 💛

It was an honour to be part of such a thoughtful, vibrant event. To everyone who stopped by and wandered through one of our little stories, thank you. It means the world to us.

Now we will all go back to our summer holidays. Hope you are all doing well and perhaps you are having some well earned holidays yourself?

~The Others

The world you knew is gone. The machines took everything—and they’re coming for what’s left.

On August 18, 2025, the fight for survival begins. The Machinefall demo drops on Steam, and you’ll get your first chance to stand against the swarm.

In this fractured wasteland, only ruthless tactics and iron will can keep your forces alive. The demo will let you:

• Build and defend your last bastion of humanity

• Command soldiers and scavenge to fight back

• Witness the bleak world after the fall

• Play through the first technology era

The resistance is running out of time. Will you hold the line—or will you burn with the rest?

Wishlist Machinefall on Steam now to get notified the second the demo goes live.

The machines don’t stop. Neither can you.

Greetings, Cyborgs!

Version 0.0.16 has just been deployed and marks a new step in QANGA’s technical optimization and gameplay depth. Between performance improvements, overhauled vehicle physics, and the introduction of new Infected types, this update brings a few new additions we hope you’ll enjoy.

Here’s a full breakdown of the changes:

This update is part of our continued effort to deliver a smoother, more stable, and more immersive experience. Your feedback is essential to our progress, and version 0.0.16 is a reflection of that: more control, fewer bugs, and meaningful new content to explore.

Keep sharing your suggestions and keep pushing the limits of the QANGA universe.

See you soon in the solar system (or on Discord).

Seems that the curse of the Island of the Damned has prevented you from getting any achievements in the release version of the Pirate Cove Simulator. The evil sea sprites responsible have been tracked down and bribed with shiny trinkets to stay the heck away from your game progress. The achievements should now work as designed. We're sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused you!

May Lady Luck smile upon your enterprises!

The online co-op functionality is fresh and may have unpredictable consequences, so I recommend making a backup of the save folder, which is located here:
%userprofile%\\appdata\\locallow\\LionsShade\\

I had to adjust a lot of things in the game in order to make it work online. I think I tested everything. Hopefully, I didn't break anything.

The demo will be updated later, possibly with the next update.

• Added network co-op.
  
• Island: New battle soundtrack added.
  
• Island: The multi-tool can now be used to saw off the remains of enemies, or even attack enemies that are still alive.
  
• Island: Random enemies no longer patrol the area separately from enemy waves.
  
• Island: Time acceleration from the bed now additionally accelerates the day/night change (40x)
  
• Island: the character finally lies down in bed instead of sitting, and it is also possible to lie down on both sides.
  
• Island: The chair near the upgrade tables and chests no longer blocks the character.
  
• Changed the voice of the male character when damaged or falling, now it is less dramatic.
  
• Added heavy breathing to the character when stamina is low.
  
• The character no longer performs an animation of picking up an item if there is no space in the inventory.
  
• The Nuclear Desert level has been slightly modified to avoid softlocks.
  
• Fixed a bug when triggering a quantum leap, which sometimes blocked character control.
  
• Fixed an issue where exiting photo-mode was blocked.
  
• Fixed an issue where sometimes the character would get stuck on the ladder (improved camera behavior when moving on the ladder)

✨ New & Improved

  Seamlessly move your aquatic friends from one tank to another without selling or rebuying them. Perfect for re‑balancing populations or showing off rare specimens.

  These dangerous newcomers have unique behaviors and will prey on smaller fish if left unchecked. Stock antivenom decorations—or risk losing your prized specimens.

🛠 Fixes & Tweaks

• “Buy Max” Button Overflow Fixed
  No more accidental overspending when your wallet is swimming in cash. The button now caps purchases correctly, even with astronomical funds.

The game has entered Early Access, marking the start of the new age of our lives.

Full controller support and larger font option are already on the way.

Despite our sleepless nights and restless testing sessions, we know that bugs and errors can still be found in the game. We're doing our best to catch and fix them all as fast as we can.

We're starting the production of Loop 2.

Feel free to share with us what you liked and disliked about Loop 1. Your feedback on the game's structure with Time Slots, timelines, branches, dialogue options, and replayability - is very much welcomed.

We're active on our Discord server, we read all the reviews and community discussions. Your contribution will help us shape new Loops to be more fun, more impactful, more everything.

We had to postpone any work regarding localizations until after the EA launch. Which is now. Getting to work.

Once again, thank you for being with us on this journey.
Watch out for bees!
