- v1.0.0 - Pet count QoL & fixes - 2 April 2026
v1.0.0 has been released!It contains some minor fixes and quality of life changes, such as being able to see how many pets you own before purchasing more at the trader.In the late game stage, I noticed people would spam the same building, so holding SHIFT now allows you to build ten of each building at once.When placing down buildings, it was more convenient to have shields automatically placed periodically when needed, so a setting was added to do that, but it did not cost materials to build those shields, which has been fixed.Many of the big buildings and epic buildings were not designed to be moved, and would cause issues when moved. It was also abusable, so they are no longer movable.Thanks for playing!Full changelog:Add ability to hold SHIFT to build 10 buildings at onceAdd display to view number of each pet owned while buying pets at the traderBig buildings can no longer be movedR…

If Stormbridge has taught me anything, it’s that battling the storm leads to growth - whether it’s on a bridge or in real life.My game dev journey hasn’t been easy. But along the way, I met a lot of awesome people who helped me keep going. To everyone who supported me, shared feedback, wishlisted, played, commented, or simply sent kind words - thank you. It means more than I can put into a post.If you haven’t yet, wishlist Stormbridge so you don’t miss the launch! And I’ll see you on the bridge on February 16.--YYZ

- v0.82.0 - Photo Mode - 26 April 2025
I decided to add a fun little feature. You can now toggle photo mode with F11, allowing you to take screenshots of your pets as well as adjust camera options like lighting, depth of field, colour contrast, and more. I've made Photo Mode work with both the Home Island as well as in-game. In future, Photo Mode may pause the game so that you can take nice screenshots leisurely. Here are some photos I took of the Home Island using Photo Mode! -YYZ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3362750/Stormbridge/
- Cold Winds, Cozy Fires. Introducing the Tundra Biome! - 4 April 2025
Hi all! I'm excited to give you a first look at the Tundra biome — the first of three new maps being added to Stormbridge! You'll build across this frozen wasteland that's not just beautiful but brutal. And survival here means adapting...fast. Introducing The Tundra Biome After finding Faraday’s Lab at the edge of the sea, you board his boat.... You begin your journey, sailing off across the pristine blue. Soon, tropical sounds give way to a gentle hush, and the breeze turns crisp. Your breath starts to cloud softly in the air, and a shiver runs down your spine. You are now stuck in the tundra. Survival Gets Real Fishing won't work, cranes have trouble poking through ice, and your electric burners can't burn as efficiently. You'll need new strategies - old tricks don't work here. How will you help your settlers to adapt? Cold-Weather Crops Tend to hardy new crops that shrug off frost an…
