Lost Rabbit Digital is working on a new co-op game where you serve as one of the brave owls who delivers cargo too heavy, too dangerous or too fragile to fly up to your neighbors in nearby roosts.

Tumblefire Multiplayer is in private beta on Steam as of this week.

We'll be moving into open beta once we're satisfied with networked performance for looting, shooting, burning, climbing, and at least 15 NPCs from each faction at once!

Spent all day yesterday bug-testing, performance is great, I am just chasing down some final bugs with sprite layering, production stats in topbar not updating as expected, and the run modifiers not showing their bonus/penalty on hover!

Sneak preview of the future roadmap for Starbrew Station! We have been furiously at work while also being addicted to ARC RAIDERS! #gameDev #godot #indieDev

The update we're preparing for this weekend addresses over 106 pieces of feedback from the community!

Starbrew Station visitors are a little more intimidating in 3d... #3d #gameDev #starbrewStation

I can't say much, but I can say there's a major FREE update cooking for Tumblefire and we'll be releasing it on the "beta" branch once it's ready for playtesting. Every game system from the original Tumblefire design document, 100 years of Tumblefire.

No, that's not NBA 2K26 you're seeing, it's a secret basketball minigame in Starbrew Station that gives your station a permanent producton bonus based on your high score.

Perhaps sliding puzzles will be another minigame within Starbrew Station?

230 units? Not a frame dropped, no sweat.

Thanks to playtester suggestions and a few days of refactoring, Starbrew 0.9.30 runs about 8x faster on laptops, and you can go into the THOUSANDS of units with almost no performance degradation.

Funny enough, we have more playtesters than wishlists on Steam this week, over 200 playtesters and 152 wishlists!

I LOVE seeing how many folks in different countries are liking Starbrew...

Starbrew Station 0.9.3 brings 7 accessibility modes for colorblindness to your station, so you can tweak as needed for maximum comfort! #accessibility #godot #gameDev
October 26, 2025 at 5:14 PM
Amazing feedback today for Starbrew, in 0.9.3 we've moved deck construction into space buoys that you can investigate to see how much coffee you'll need to pay, and can click to start construction! #godot #gameDev #starbrewStation #indieDev

Just finished new localization selection interface for main menu, making it much much easier to change languages, especially if you can't read the English menus to get to language selection.

Oh my goodness, y’all are passing 16 hours on the Starbrew Station playtest?

Should I.. send help?

Also how many prestiges did you do do to have 600 units..?

How is getting that far even possible with the current boss HP scaling?? It’s exponential scaling..

In Space, it's always the right time for coffee.

Pull up a holo-chair, pour yourself another cup, and check out Starbrew Station on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4089330/...

Make sure you check your format for your localization files in Godot BEFORE you close your editor... saving our Thai translation as a CSV without saving explictly as UTF-8 caused all of our translations to be saved as question marks.

We're translating all 580 strings in Starbrew Station into all 29 Steam Supported languages, our last playtest just wrapped up and EVERYTHING is translated. Submission to Steam for review tomorrow, and done in time for the next big Playtest Wave on Friday! #gamedev #godot #indiedev
October 23, 2025 at 7:30 AM
SO CLOSE TO FINISHED WITH TRANSLATIONS! This is the last big blocker for Steam release and then we will be bug fixing up to release. 128 folks have requested playtest access and as soon as the translation enhancements and bug fixes go out on Friday we will grant access! #godot #steam #gamedev
October 22, 2025 at 7:16 AM
Translation progress is going well in Godot 4.5 for Starbrew Station, we are under the gun to get all translations working fully so we can submit our build for Steam approval before Nov 14 launch! #godot #gamedev #indiegamedev #starbrewStation

Absolute blast with ARC Raiders in the Server Slam, I of course ran out of everything within a few raids and am living the bolt action sniper life up on the surface this weekend. Huge amount of fun, mobility and third person are a win.

We are down to just FOURTEEN items of feedback left from this month's playtest for Starbrew Station!

We've closed out 249 issues in the last 4 weeks of Beta, and a HUGE thanks to everyone who has taken time to give us feedback.
