- PhaigeX: Confiners (Incursion Update) - 19 July 2026
Hello! A new demo patch is out. ːsteamhappyːAlongside a ton of bug fixes, I've started adding some flavor to Incursion battles. They're still a work in progress and mostly a proof of concept for now, but they're already fully interactive.One of the changes to Incursion Missions is that deployment locations are now fixed. You'll begin each battle at a predetermined insertion point rather than selecting your own deployment area. The plan is for Incursions to become their own set of unique missions, separate from the standard missions in a typical deployment. This WIP mission features a large-scale fleet battle.

- PhaigeX: Confiners (Fortress Demo Update) - 4 July 2026
PhaigeX: Confiners (Fortress Update) Hello, we got another update for the demo, this time focusing on tightening the cycle mechanics and adding another outpost type to the Fortress Sector.CONFINERS DEMO UPDATE: Cycle Allocation:Every 5th cycle, PhaigeX provides a passive allocation based on the number of sectors connected to your Home Sector. This gives players an incentive to capture nearby sectors instead of bee-lining straight to the objective sector. Fortress Sectors:Fortress Sectors are heavily fortified by A.I. forces and protected by map-wide weapon systems, making assaults on them and the surrounding sectors significantly more challenging. Telemetry Outpost:A Fortress-exclusive outpost. Destroying it disables the Fortress's map-wide weapon systems, making the stage significantly easier. And a bunch of minor bug fixes here and there! The game is coming along nicely, and I think t…

- Signs of Life Update: New Confiner's DEMO out now!!! 🥳🥳🥳 - 10 June 2026
PhaigeX: Confiners (Signs of Life update) Hey, it's been a while! Long story short the game took a detour through development hell. 😂 After months of all-nighters, way too much coffee, and a game identity crisis or two, the next demo update is finally here. Do note that its still pretty janky, albeit playable. Feel free to give us some feedback. Thanks.CONFINERS DEMO UPDATE: Rogue-lite Sector Campaign : This is the main reason things took so long. I really had to hunker down and figure out what I actually wanted out of Confiners. Long story short, we ended up going with an FTL-style campaign where you fly across a sector map and run into random events that can either seriously help your run or completely ruin it. Squadron System: You don’t have to go it alone out there. Aside from your core PHGX-Units, you can now recruit a limited squad of escorts to back you up. Corvettes will trail…
- Happy Holidays! A new Confiner's DEMO Update 🥳🥳🥳 - 19 December 2025
PhaigeX: Confiners (Fleet Assault update) Happy holidays everyone! We got another juicy update wrapping up the Fleet Assault type mission. Its still a bit wonky but it can be completed now. XD It's been a slog getting to a playable and fun state, but I think the core flying/shooting mechanics is good now. (I think? feedback is still much appreciated) Either way I think its time that I start with the other gameplay scenes so it start feeling a legit game and not just a glorified battle simulator. Anyway enough of me rambling and here are the update notes. CONFINERS DEMO UPDATE: Fleet Assault Update: Main focus for this update, the Fleet Assault Mission type can now be completed. Apart from a new final objective, the Albatross is now able to launch corvettes to help you protect the fleet. (Yes I got the inspiration from Battlestar Galactica launching vipers XD) Emergency Failsafe Bubble:…
