    Changelog for version 1.0.1: Fixed incorrect metrics displayed in the solutions window.

  • Early Access Is Over - Version 1.0 Is Here! - 10 September 2026

    After almost two years, I’ve decided that it’s finally time for the full release.OCTOPTICOM 3D is leaving Early Access today, September 10th, just in time for the Steam Programming Fest 2026. Jumping over 0.8 and 0.9 straight to version 1.0, it comes with three new (and slightly different types of) levels requiring the use of the Random Passthrough component.The other highlights are the full validation of player solutions (8,000+ files checked) from the Early Access period for the histograms (previously, the solutions were not thoroughly checked), changes to input generation, and some new test cases for some levels (as a result of the validation process). There are also challenges for all levels, as well as bug fixes for the Random Passthrough and Flip-Flop components.For the full list, check the changelog below or in the game.The 6 months that I originally planned for Early Access obvi…

  • Version 0.6.8 - 13 March 2025

    Changelog for version 0.6.8: Fixed a bug that allowed passing tests without using all outputs on levels with multiple outputs. Fixed the 'Random Passthrough' component not using a new seed, which caused it to produce the same result on levels with a fixed seed, like Level 53.

  • Version 0.6.7 - 7 January 2025

    Changelog for version 0.6.7: Fixed a regression where components could not be properly selected when the mouse was dragged very quickly during selection (they appeared selected but behaved as separate objects).

  • Version 0.6.5 - 18 December 2024

    Changelog for version 0.6.5: Fixed an issue that prevented components from rotating using keyboard controls.

Added an option to change the default name of new solutions. Added an option in the histograms dialog to directly load a solution using the Next Level and Previous Level buttons, if only one solution exists. Added an option in the histograms dialog to automatically create a new solution for levels without one when using the Next Level and Previous Level buttons.

  • Version 0.6.4 and a Web Demo - 11 December 2024

    Changelog for version 0.6.4: Web demo available at https://updevgames.com/octopticom3d_web/ and https://updevgames.itch.io/octopticom-3d/ Added sound effects for the blueprints buttons. Added support for importing saves from the web demo.

Fixed positioning of 'best' and 'latest' lines in histograms. Added 'prev' stats for the histograms (previous run data). Rearranged metrics in solutions and histograms for consistency. Simulation restarts from test 1 after stopping on a different test. Added version checking and last changes panel. Added Discord and Reddit links. Switch type 1 can now detect when it is in an infinite loop.

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $14.99
  • Highest observed: $14.99

OCTOPTICOM 3D's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $14.99, the highest is $14.99, and the first visible tracked price is $14.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

OCTOPTICOM 3D's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $14.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $14.99. The latest run records $14.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $14.99
  • Current list price: $14.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records OCTOPTICOM 3D at $14.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
