Pick fruit, light fires, and drink alcohol in the Closed Beta Test, beginning next week 

El Segundo, California — June 19, 2026 | Kakao Games and Ocean Drive Studio have released the third God Save Birmingham Developer Update video, which highlights many of the new features players will be able to experience during the upcoming Closed Beta Test that begins on 22 June.

Watch God Save Birmingham Dev Update 3 video below: 

This new Developer Update video shows the many additions and improvements made to God Save Birmingham’s combat since February’s Closed Alpha Test. Attack animations are quicker, controls are more responsive, and enemies are a little more durable, leading to a more dynamic and challenging combat experience. Additionally, spears, one-handed swords and halberds have been added to the game — with more medieval melee tools planned for the future — and players can now shout at zombies to lure them in their direction for a fight. 

A significant amount of survival-related content has been added to the game, too. Chickens are now available as livestock and will provide eggs at regular intervals, while fruits and vegetables can now be picked from garden plots or the nearby forest. Drinking water can be collected from the river flowing through town, however the poor quality can lead to an upset stomach. Various historically accurate medieval beverages have also been added to God Save Birmingham, such as ale. While alcohol can quench the player character’s thirst and reduce their mental stress, excessive consumption can result in intoxication, making survival more difficult.

Huge changes have been made to the weather system, with conditions heavily impacting a player’s chance of survival. For example, fog impairs the vision of zombies, aiding players looking to remain hidden, while colder temperatures that come with rain can negatively affect a player’s health. To warm up, players can light an indoor fire, but they must exercise caution: flames can now spread to wooden objects, and players can get burned if they get too close.

All this, plus numerous other additions, such as an improved Journal system to onboard new players, advancements to in-game physics, and an enhanced sleep system, are all detailed in the Dev Update 3 video. 

“While the team would love to include and showcase more features in the game, we believe that making things well is more important than making a lot,” said production director Soonook Shin. “Therefore we intend to focus on creating a great game by continuously developing, testing and refining content.”

Players can register their interest in the God Save Birmingham Closed Beta Test, which begins on 22 June and ends on 29 June, by following the steps outlined on the game’s Steam page.

However you choose to play, Soulbound’s secrets await, inviting players to uncover the hostile forces lurking beneath this pixelated reality. 

Your New Home and Hub

However, hope isn’t lost, as a friendly robotic companion rescues you from imminent death and sets you on a new course: one that leads towards the destruction of The Anima. Your first step is buying and setting up your base of operations. Your home isn’t just for decoration, but rather your hub for progression to upgrade salvaged materials and craft new equipment. It’s not just another UI, but rather a space that grows and evolves with you.

Buy and operate your own sawmill and rise to the new challenges waiting for you in picturesque Green Thorn Valley

Oberhaching, Germany, June 19, 2026 – The momentum doesn’t stop. Following numerous patches since the Early Access release of Farmer’s Dynasty 2 and the latest free update „Historical Machines“ the rural open world of Green Thorn Valley now has another attraction. Independent development team UMEO Studios and publisher Toplitz Productions have released a new free content update, which introduces the Riverside Sawmill as a fully functional facility.

After purchasing the property in-game, aspiring farmers can use the sawmill as a production site for premium lumber, thus expanding the variety of goods they have available for use in their renovation projects or, of course, to generate a profit.

Logs transported to the sawmill can be processed in a variety of ways. They can be debarked and sold directly or cut into plank pallets, for example, which in turn can be sold immediately or dried to increase their market value.

To enhance the atmosphere of the lumberjack setting, water-based transportation for logs has been implemented. This opens new logistics routes and gameplay strategies, making the prime riverside location of the sawmill even more valuable.

Features of the Riverside Sawmill update at a glance:

• New property available: Fully functioning sawmill as a premium production site with full visual customization
• Water-based log transportation
• New products, e.g. dried wood planks with increased value
• New furniture based on new wood types
• New achievements connected to the Riverside Sawmill
• New machinery

The next step on the roadmap will be the „Beets & Potatoes“ Update, scheduled for next month. It will introduce not only new produce to the ever-expanding world of Farmer’s Dynasty 2, but add a new storage building as well as four crop-specific machines, including potato harvesters and beets seeders.

Farmer’s Dynasty 2 is available now in Early Access on PC via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store. More information is available on the official product pages. Join our official Discord to get the latest news on Farmer’s Dynasty 2 as well as the other exciting titles from Toplitz Productions.

Heroes may fall, but the gate must stand in this Tower Defence/Survivors-like Roguelite 

18th June 2026, Bristol UK – Develop: Star Awards nominees Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games are proud to announce the release of The Gate Must Stand – a dark fantasy action-strategy game about holding the line against impossible odds.

The Gate Must Stand blends clever systemic gameplay with a highly replayable run-based structure. Part tower defence, part Survivors-like but all-action roguelite, The Gate Must Stand sees players building defences, deploying troops, managing resources, and entering the battlefield themselves in order to keep the kingdom’s final gate intact for just one more night.

Each run allows players to recruit and upgrade heroes, construct defences, unlock powerful abilities and discover increasingly absurd synergies as enemy waves become larger, stranger and significantly more terrifying. Success depends not just on surviving, but on adapting, with players needing to balance short-term survival against longer-term strategy as the battlefield spirals into chaos.

Visually, the game combines a dark, fantasy atmosphere with huge on-screen battles and satisfying, chunky combat feedback, creating a constant sense of escalation as each run pushes players further towards inevitable catastrophe.

Set during the final defence of the Kingdom of Belrak, players are placed in command of a desperate fortress defence against endless waves of monsters, horrors and things with far too many teeth. Heroes can fall. Entire squads can be wiped out. Carefully laid plans can collapse into panic and fire. But the gate must stand.

The Gate Must Stand launches with:

• 4 Heroes, each with their own unique playstyle
• 149 Hero Skills
• 19 Base Followers
• 38 Ultimate forms
• 150 Follower Skills
• 3 Stages
• 6 Maps
• 5 Difficulty Levels
• 13 Bosses
• 10 Elite Enemies
• 46 Advanced Skill Options
• 53 Game-Altering Relics

The Gate Must Stand is the third co-published title between Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games. It is out now on PC via Steam for $9.99 with a 30% discount for launch.

RELAX even HARDER with the Game Plus and Sandbox modes, offering new ways to explore and personalize your spaces New gameplay features, seasonal content, DLC and more are all coming in Hozy‘s future content roadmap

SEATTLE – June 18, 2026 – Indie game publisher tinyBuild and developer Come On Studio have today released the Sandbox Update for their critically acclaimed home renovation game, Hozy, adding new free content for all players. The Sandbox Update introduces Game Plus and Sandbox Mode, bringing even more spaces to decorate to avid relaxation enthusiasts. Hozy has players working to revitalize a forgotten neighborhood and breathe life back into a community through satisfying repairs, renovations, and stories shared between neighbors.

For budding interior designers looking to revisit already completed projects, Game Plus mode adds new content to all levels. Changes to each level vary and include things like new furniture sets, the option to select day or night mode, new music variations, and even entirely new environments, like a cafe transforming into a music lounge.

Sandbox Mode, on the other hand, allows designers limitless creativity! Players can choose between a few room types that they can decorate freely with any piece of furniture, wallpaper, paint color, window, and floor in the game. Sandbox Mode doesn’t end there, players can also add a background of their choice to the scene, choose the material for the outside of the building, add support beams or duplicate furniture to make perfect pairs. This is merely the first iteration of Sandbox Mode, and the team will continue to develop and improve it based on community feedback. Create that romantic restaurant, your perfect loft apartment or a quirky bookstore that sometimes shows old movies. Sandbox Mode puts you in control.

The decorative fun doesn’t stop with this update! In a roadmap shared earlier this year, Come On Studio and tinyBuild announced free DLC coming this September featuring three new levels and an update to Sandbox Mode. In addition, free seasonal content updates will arrive later in the year to celebrate Halloween, the holiday season and more going into 2027!
