  • Drones & Ruins Procedural Generation Expansion WIP - 13 June 2018

    Here is a short video of the level environment procedural generation. Will make public in roughly a week for those who want to test out the expansion as it is being developed. https://youtu.be/ZIvAH8UGeqg

  • Patch Notes - 28 May 2018

    5/28/18 Added Fallen Drone stats to titlescreen. Now you can see which levels have fallen drones to collect and how many you already found from the level select option. Fixed some oddities when a player may switch from gamepad use to keyboard and mouse. i.e. Mouse would not capture unless left button click is manually pressed. Mouse would capture and you could not rotate player and shoot. Camera location would remain off centered. Improved menu navigation so focused selections are highlighted in instead of only being underlined. Adjusted some colors for better contrast. Note I will gather any issues throughout the week and post a patch weekly in addition to prepping the game for the additional expansion. That's all for now.

  • Needs a Little More Time to Cook - 30 April 2018

    https://youtu.be/DApK1Ox8jwE I tried very hard to stick with the release date and push through however the game needs a little more time to cook. A couple of things happened this month related to a family member becoming ill and passing so I took some time away from the project. I'm in the last 2% of the game it seems which consist of small details that require polish and testing. What is left until release. Music pending Mixing/Mastering process Fine tune some SFX Adding in achievements Uploading to Steam Sanity checks involving additional plays to verify everything is working as intended together Edit: Updated progress with strikethrough

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 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $14.99
  • Highest observed: $14.99

DRONES AND RUINS'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 $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

DRONES AND RUINS'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 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 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 DRONES AND RUINS 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.
