  • The IOTA Project Patch Notes [and Farewell] - 15 December 2017

    Hello, all! We've recently updated The IOTA Project according to the feedback we've received over the past few months, as well as revamping our art assets and redesigning much of the city. Here are the changes we've made! ROOMSCALE ROTATION: now one of the locomotion options allows you to control your rotation with your head/body. This was the #1 piece of feedback we received - we've made it happen. ART POLISH: R4N-D and the Drones have been made brighter, IOTA's arms have been made more rugged/worn, the roads and sand were redesigned. Overall the city has much more polish and detail. CITY REDESIGN: The entire city has been redesigned and condensed to include much more detail. REVAMPED TUTORIAL AREA: The tutorial starting area has been redesigned based on feedback we got from taking the game to conventions and events. SPAWN RATES: Enemy Spawn Rate is increased, along with the more conde…

  • Come Meet the Devs in Person! - 11 September 2017

    We're demoing at two events this weekend, although we will only be physically present at one of them. The first is Worlds Fair Nano in NYC (Greenpoint, Brooklyn) this weekend. We will have a few members of the team manning the booth with an Oculus and a Vive, as well as our crazy green LIV cube so we can capture mixed reality video of folks playing. If you're in New York, come say hi! Worlds Fair Nano The second is GameOn in Vilnius, Lithuania - also this weekend. Unfortunately we can't be there in person (would be so cool to visit Lithuania!) but if you are attending that event and see The IOTA Project there, would love for you to send us a photo of our little mech-baby traveling the world! We're so proud. GameOn EU We are planning to attend more events in the upcoming months, so stay tuned ;) -The DreamSail Team

  • The IOTA Project Demo is Now Live! - 8 September 2017

    We are happy to announce that The IOTA Project Demo is officially live and playable here on Steam! We're been working on TIP for about 4.5 months now. We wanted to create a "pre-alpha demo" or playable teaser trailer with our core gameplay mechanics that gives players a slice of the potential of our game. We're passionate about making a mech game as we're all really just a bunch of anime nerds who really want to pilot a giant robot. But we want it to feel right. We want the melee combat to feel crisp. We want the special abilities to be satisfying and dramatic. So please give us feedback and we'll be working to bring you a much grander experience down the road! The IOTA Project is playable in arcades all around the world, we're working on having a map of where it is available for those who don't have VR headsets at home to find a location they can play. All that being said, we hope you…

Short description

The IOTA Project is a VR game where you are thrown into the cockpit of a giant mech. Pilot IOTA as you destroy the enemies who have taken over the city using your two giant robot fists and an array of powerful weapons. This is a pre-alpha free demo.

About this game

Bitsburgh has been evacuated. R4N-D mechs and drones have swarmed the streets. It's up to you, as the pilot of the mysterious mech IOTA, to take down the enemy threat and bring peace back to the city. If, of course, you don't destroy it in the process. Arm yourself with an array of powerful weapons scattered throughout the city, as well as your own two giant robot fists and some chaos-causin' rocket launchers - and destroy all enemies! This is a free, pre-alpha demo - please be aware that there will be bugs and issues, as well as aspects of the game that feel unfinished. We're continuing to develop a complete version, taking into account player feedback. We hope you enjoy this slice of what we have to offer and follow along our development journey! Features Free Locomotion : Use the analog sticks to move and rotate. Explore the whole city with no teleportation! We worked hard on making a cockpit system that helps to alleviate nausea. Current comfort options include 3 varieties of rotation you can switch between from the settings. Additional comfort settings will be added as we continue development. Multiple Play-styles : Like combat up close and personal? Prefer targeting your foes from a distance? Switch between melee weapons and rocket launchers at will. The mech arms have a slight delay compared to your pilot arms, which helps to convey the weightiness and power of your punches. Free-Roam Experience : Explore and destroy the city in a sandbox environment. Those enemy mechs aren't the only ones who get to have fun causing a little chaos. Power Abilities : You have three special weapons you can unleash by punching buttons in your mech - Core Blast, which unleashes a volley of rockets; Electro Blast, which sends out a shockwave to stun enemies and send objects flying; and the Laser, a deadly beam of high-powered energy. Grabbable Props : Pick up cars, buses, stoplights, and more. Nothing says "don't mess with me" like a mech wielding dual palm trees.

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 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

The IOTA Project's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 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 Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. 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

The IOTA Project'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 Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free 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: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The IOTA Project at Free 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.
