• LETTER FROM THE ABYSS - 3 August 2026

  Hello all,It's been a little while since the last communication, so just wanted to give a quick studio update to keep everyone informed about the state of affairs here.Firstly, a HUGE thank you to all the current players, and also everyone who has given the game a shot and provided crucial feedback. This has been instrumental; we cannot stress that enough.Currently we are deep in the trenches working on what will become the EA V2.0 release. want to keep the bulk of what V2.0 includes under wraps for now, but the focus has been on the second story path, new enemy types, and a lot more. We believe the V2.0 content update will be a huge step towards actualizing the complete vision we have for the game. Excited to get it out!Don't want to make any hard promises regarding the release date, but we're working on it 24/7 and intend to have it out publicly ASAP.We are also going to be dripping i…

• SMALL CONTENT UPDATE - 17 July 2026

  SOME NEW FEATURES REBIND SYSTEM - you can now rebind keys to whatever you want. it is now a feature in the gameTRAINING ROOM - learn controls and test out your Surrogate in this TRAINING MODE kill simulator - was hesitant to give into the requests for more hand holding, as it is increasingly becoming more common for players to seek faster reward and game designers increasingly accommodate that desire, reinforcing an expectation of zero friction and lowering tolerance for delayed payoff. however we think this is actually quite a beneficial addition to the game and acts as a nice warm up to all the mechanics PIPE BOMBS - Pipe bombs have been added to the gameENHANCED DECALS - Blood wall splatter now added for a deeper sense of immersion and realismMELEE/COMBAT- Melee Combat you now have the option of primal close encounter combat when you run out of ammo. already released but some small r…

• 10 DAY EARLY ACCESS UPDATE - 16 July 2026

  10 days into Early Access Update just some insight into how things have gone the first 10 days of EA release. firstly thanks to everyone for the support and interest in Desolation Seed. the first 10 days have been successful. since launch the game has gained 40,000 wishlists! and it's incredibly motivating to see the community and interest continuing to grow. right now we are working on getting the next major content update out. we will most likely have a private beta build for it before releasing to the general public. if you are interested in play testing the beta build please reach out in PM. Steam Reviews reviews have been teetering from "mostly positive" to recently "mixed". we definitely take every review into consideration. most players have been forgiving about the presence of bugs and it being in EA. some haven't. most of the negative reviews do provide valid criticism and valu…

• A STORM IS COMING .... - 30 June 2026

  A certain global videogame platform continues to deny our store page siting Early Access question errors..after the third attempt to satisfy them via changing the wording .we are beginning to suspect they aren't even reading the updated store page.maybe we are dealing with bots or in some automation hell loop but they keep siting the same issues and wording even though the words have been changed and publicly updated for over a week and a half now"Failure: Your store page has failed review because your Early Access answer doesn't explain how the pricing will change during and after Early Access. "the full version will contain a complete storyline. multiple endings , all zones and paths interconnected seamlessly and more. throughout the EA period,..." this hasn't existed on the store page for the last two "review" submissions since June 22ndalso not to mention that our store page was sup…

• QUICK RELEASE UPDATE - 25 June 2026

  Just a quick update on Desolation Seed release. there was a last minute mix up on our Steam store page related to wording in the Early Access questionnaire which needed to be corrected in order for the game to be eligible for a Early Access launch.Steam says it takes 3-5 days for the page to be re-reviewed . we've requested that it be expeditated but Valve is a small team and we just have to play the waiting game. it will be released immediately after the new questionnaire answers are approved apologies for anyone waiting and thanks for the support. also let us know if you would be into the idea of a community discord and what type topics and stuff you'd like to see in there?thank you !-ECS
