Official imageOperators, We noticed many requests for a MID-MISSION SAVE SYSTEM, and Nick is working on this feature. Since this will be a larger-scale update and will take a little more time to implement, we decided to release a small patch in the meantime addressing three minor issues. Changelog Version 1.0 (1622) FIXED Desktop cursor visible on the main menu Colour Blind modes not applying IMPROVED Reduced ghosting effects on the clock Pevious patches: • • • Roadmap, Reports & Resources Remember, the first and most important place to stay connected with us has always been, and always will be, our Discord. That’s where Nick runs the game’s open development on a daily basis, discuss what’s happening behind the scenes, and stay in touch with Operators directly. We also recommend checking our regularly updated FAQ thread on the Steam Community Hub, where you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked
Read full dispatch →Official imageOperators, Tomorrow at 17:00 CEST, IRON NEST will be just one week old. The response has honestly taken us by surprise. Your reviews, reports, feedback, and sheer amount of support have gone far beyond anything we expected. The least we can do in return is make sure your reports keep reaching High Command.

▶Video briefingOperators. After thousands of design decisions, hundreds of sleepless nights, countless cups of coffee that legally qualified as industrial solvents… HIGH COMMAND CONFIRMS: IRON NEST IS FULLY OPERATIONAL To celebrate the launch, we've 🔴 increased the release discount from 20% to 25% 🔴. Not because some marketing spreadsheet told us to, but because this project was never ours alone. When we started making IRON NEST, there wasn't an army behind us. It was just us. Then a handful of people on Discord somehow looked at this strange little giant turret game and decided: "yeah... let's see where this goes." You kept showing up. You brought your friends into the ranks. You rallied Content Creators to our cause. You shared your stories, screenshots, clips, ridiculous strategies, and bug reports that occasionally resembled "minor and entirely acceptable casualties". Then, seemingly out of nowhe

Failure to report on time will not be tolerated. GLORY TO THE OPERATORS! P.S. Late arrivals will be rewarded with reassignment to the infantry.

▶Video briefingOperators, Before the next order is given, High Command must begin with one simple message: THANK YOU. Thank you for every report, review, screenshot, suggestion, and word of support. You turned a small two-person indie operation into something far greater than we ever expected. IRON NEST became the 🥇 #1 most wishlisted game of the June 2026 Steam Next Fest. It also became the 🥈 #2 demo of the entire festival by unique players. Even now, High Command still struggles to believe the numbers recorded in the June 29 report: To us, these are not just numbers. Each one stands for a son or daughter of Castile who entered the NEST, became an Operator, and joined the final drill before the full offensive begins on August 6, 2026. High Command could not be prouder... High Command could not be more grateful... Feedback, Bug Reports & Suggestions The demo remains available and will stay operationa

PERFORMANCE Substantial performance improvements on lower-specification hardware. Progressive frame rate degradation during extended Uncontested Front operations has been greatly improved. NEW SHELL TRAJECTORY STOPWATCH A new shell trajectory time stopwatch.NOTE: The central clock is added to support future timed impacts and time-critical fire missions. However there are none of these types of missions in the demo. LEADERBOARD SYSTEM (FULL OVERHAUL): Daily leaderboards now active alongside the existing standings. End-of-mission commendations upgraded to higher quality. Expanded integration with the leaderboard Discord bot. GLORY TO THE OPERATORS! GLORY TO THE OPERATORS! GLORY TO TH...

Take part in our community screenshot event during Steam Next Fest. 🎪 Community Event (CONCLUDED) || Operation: Seize the Shot 🎪 Your screenshot. Your name. On the IRON NEST Steam Store page. Since IRON NEST stands on the strength of its Operators, we decided there is no better place for your work than the official Steam Store page.

Selected screenshots from this operation will be added to the official IRON NEST Steam Store gallery, with each screenshot credited to the Operator who captured it. 🔻 How to participate / submit your screenshot: Open the Steam app In the top-left corner, go to: Steam > Settings > In Game > Screenshots Check which key is assigned to "Take a screenshot" Launch

▶Video briefingOperator, The day has come. Castile needs you. After months of heavy workshop labor, testing, propaganda, and above all, your full-throttle mobilization, the IRON NEST Demo is now live and ready to play. Command the IRON NEST in this final drill before the 1.0 release. The full 1.0 release of IRON NEST is currently planned for early August. The exact date of the full offensive will be revealed soon. High Command is finalizing the last details of the operation, and that is exactly why this demo deployment matters so much. While playing the demo, please use the prepared forms to share your feedback, report bugs and technical issues, and flag any localization problems you encounter. Every report helps us keep reinforcing IRON NEST before the 1.0 release and make the official deployment stronger for the glory of Castile. We honestly cannot believe this day has finally come.

▶Video briefingOperators, The recording of our Discord live event is now available. If you missed the transmission, you can now watch the most important parts on YouTube. We summarized our latest open playtest (NEST FEST, which took place from February 23 to March 2). We shared our development perspective, discussed what we learned from your feedback, and answered questions from our Operators live. Thank you to everyone who joined us on Discord that day. The public demo deploys soon… and then we go to war with the algorithms. 📅 Steam Next Fest begins on June 15 at 10 AM PDT Mark it in your calendar. We need you aboard from the very first minute. Every minute counts in this fight, Operator. P.S. Internal playtests on our Discord are still running and will continue until release. However getting in requires a bit of luck, a bit of persistence, and being in the right place when the call goes out... Glory

Official imageNick and I have tried to find the right words to properly thank each and every one of you, yet no message could ever fully capture what your support means to us or how deeply it has shaped the growth of the NEST. The proper moment for that recognition will come in the game’s credits... and not only for a select few. As promised, every member of Discord who stands with us on launch day will be honored there. I still remember how, just four months ago, I was writing on Reddit about a Steamworks bug (here is the post). At the time, around 20-30 thousand of you were already with us, and then Steamworks suddenly displayed 230 thousand instead. Back then, that number felt completely unreal. The question Nick and I asked each other that day: “What if?”... the only thing that followed was laughter, because it all felt far too impossible to believe. I truly wish I had recorded that moment... On F

A balance change matters only when you know which station, calculation, or mission procedure it affects. These three manuals are the fastest way to re-check a solution after a new build arrives.
How updates are checked
Every story starts with an official Steam announcement. We separate confirmed changes from community findings, explain the effect on play, and point you to the guides that may need another look. Community reports are clearly labeled and include a patch or version warning when details may change.
