Hey hey semibots!
WOHO!
We’re alive and we have some exciting stuff to tell you!
Check out the Devlog here:

If you prefer reading, here are the key takeaways:
NEXT UPDATE
The main focus of the next update will be a brand new level.
TUMBLE CLIMB
In the most recent Cosmetic update, we boosted the Tumble Climb upgrade quite a lot and it seems like people have missed out on it! It drains much less stamina and is in general way better. Give it a try!
DEVLOGS
As we’re both working on the next update AND getting closer to the 1.0 Full Release of R.E.P.O., we’ll need all hands on deck to keep up - this means that devlogs will be less frequent, but fret not; As soon as we have something exciting to showcase, we’ll showcase it!
That’s it for now! Have a lovely weekend!
Bye bye!

FIXES
CHANGES

Item Melee Weapons - Handling now properly scales with strength and should feel firmer and better at higher strength.
Item Vehicle - Smaller grab area for the button to reduce accidental activation when trying to move the vehicle.
BALANCING

Player Revive - Added 1 second of invincibility after revive to prevent instant deaths.
Cosmetic Boxes - Slightly increased the general spawn chance for boxes, as well as the chance for Ultra Rare boxes.
Item Staffs - All staffs now have 6 battery pips.
Item Zero Gravity Staff - Improved zero gravity by making it more controllable and last longer for non-enemy objects. Players can now fly around when using it on themselves.
Item Roll Staff - Improved by making all rolling objects target enemies, except players. Players now get the same effect as the Roll Drone, allowing them to roll around while steering their trajectory with the camera.
Item Void Staff - Now has more strength when pulling heavy objects and creates random outward surges for items close to the center, making them less likely to sit static in the middle.
Enemy Trudge - Now uses the same suck mechanics as the Void Staff. It can suck in bigger valuables more easily and has more chaos in the center of the suck.
FIXES

Player Tumble - Fixed players falling through the map in multiplayer if TTS failed to initialize.
Player Overcharge - Fixed a bug that allowed clients to grab tap enemies without getting any overcharge.
Enemy Bella - Fixed a bug that caused clients to hear a sound many times in a row when she was stunned.
Item Staffs - Fixed roll staff and gravity staff effects lingering in the air when an enemy was defeated while affected by them.
Item Unequipping - Fixed clients quickly equipping or unequipping sometimes causing items to appear in the wrong spot.
Item Defibro - Fixed a rare bug where they would lose their current target if they bounced too far away before teleporting.
Cosmetic Menu - Now only saves when closing the menu to reduce the likelihood of save file corruption.
UI Icons - Improved cosmetic and item icon generation to reduce RAM usage and startup freezes.
Cosmetic Tokens - Added more safeguards against malicious hosts force-adding tokens to clients.
Meta Saves - Improved save file backup logic.
Memory - Optimized memory usage.

CHANGES

Cosmetic Box Spawn - Increased the "bad luck" multiplier slightly. It now persists after a game over and increases at the end of a level instead of at the start.
Cosmetic Shop Machine - Players unlocking cosmetics one after another should now get less similar cosmetics. Unlocking a grabber cosmetic now shows the grabber during the screen animation intro.

FIXES

Player Tumble - Fixed players' tumble weight permanently being lower after mounting a vehicle.
Enemy Birthday Boy - Fixed rare bug where they could spawn their soul orb outside level bounds.
Cosmetic Tokens - Fixed an inconsistency when all players died right as the truck left, which sometimes allowed players to keep the run going without awarding cosmetic tokens. Now allows players to live and keep their tokens.

C.A.R.T. - Fixed death pits breaking the cart through walls.

Hey hey semibots!
Today we’re answering some of your most burning questions regarding the upcoming update or just R.E.P.O. in general!
Check out the Q&A Devlog here:
Watch on YouTube
If you prefer reading, here are the key takeaways from the Q&A:
Are you planning any variation to the “King of the Losers” minigame?
As a matter of fact, yes, we are working on a new variant of the “King of the Losers” minigame, which will launch together with the Cosmetics Update. More information on this in a future devlog!
Will there be achievements?
We’ve answered this before, but YES, there will be achievements, but we won’t start working on those until we are working on the 1.0 update for R.E.P.O.
Will there be any R.E.P.O. MERCH?
Yes, there are things put in motion AND there actually IS official R.E.P.O. merch available RIGHT NOW over at Youtooz, where you can get your hands on a nice Vinyl Figurine and a lovely set of Pins! Go check them out!
Do you ever consider adding mob variants?
We have talked a bit about harder variants of enemies showing up in late game, but nothing set in stone!
Regarding localization, can I help with translations?
We really appreciate all the people reaching out, offering to help with translations, but we already have everything covered on that front! We still wanna hear from you guys what languages you want translated though, so please let us know!
With localization coming, will you add categories to online lobbies so you can filter for specific things?
There have been some talks about adding more features to the server list, but nothing that is currently being worked on.
Will you add Steam Workshop Support?
Not currently planned.
Will the cosmetics have different rarities?
Yes, they will be categorized as Common, Uncommon, Rare and Ultra Rare.
Will you be able to change the color of your cosmetics or are they locked to the color given to you?
It depends on the cosmetics, some will be locked to one color while others will be customizable with custom colors.
Is there a larger story to R.E.P.O.? Will things be directly explained or will it require digging and interpretation?
We’re going with a very “environmental storytelling” approach with R.E.P.O. While we sit on a big fat lore document of what actually happened to the world and the lore of everything, we want you guys to keep exploring and connect the dots of things yourself to keep things interesting. So yes, there is a larger story to R.E.P.O. that will be more comprehensible by the 1.0 launch.
Will there be a new map in the Cosmetics Update?
There won’t be a new level, so to speak, in this particular update, but as mentioned – we are adding more shops with varied layout and things to do to make the service station more exciting.
What is missing for the game to be 1.0 ready?
After we are done with The Cosmetics update, we will basically sit down and ask ourselves that question. There are SO many things we want to add, we might not be able to add everything, but rest assured that we’re going to make the 1.0 launch truly spectacular.
Will R.E.P.O. ever come to console?
That is the current plan, but we won’t fully dig into it until we are on the homestretch and working on the 1.0 update.
Do you guys ever discuss making different games in the same R.E.P.O. universe?
We would definitely want to keep extending the universe of R.E.P.O. - but who knows what the future will bring!
Are some stuff that happens in the devlogs/trailers canon to the game, like the survivor McMikael?
Devlogs are a separate canon, more so “Semiwork Lore” rather than “R.E.P.O. / VOIDIGO Lore”. Players will be able to find everything they need in-game, and it is not required to watch every single devlog to get the full picture.
Will there be more moon phases in the future?
We would really want to add more moon phases eventually!
That’s it for now! More awesome things to be revealed, stay tuned and enjoy your weekend!
Bye bye!

NEXT UPDATE BIGGER THAN ANTICIPATED
The upcoming update started out with the main focus being cosmetics, but with time, things keep getting added out of pure creativity. With this update, we’re not only adding cosmetics, we’re also improving the game overall and adding lots of new features and items. It’s gonna be a fun update!
MORE SHOPS
We’re not only giving the original shop a visual overhaul, we’re adding several new shops with different layouts and exciting things to see and do. Maybe even some hidden rooms, who knows?
COSMETICS
We’re reaching the point of creating the actual cosmetics, as we now have a steady foundation on how you acquire these cosmetics. We’re making sure that cosmetics feel natural and not misplaced within the game.
LOCALIZATION
We’ve started work on localizing the game to different languages! Let us know what languages you’d like in R.E.P.O.
Q&A
In 2 weeks, we’re gonna have a big ol’ Q&A and answer your burning questions about the next update or just R.E.P.O. in general. Leave your questions in the YouTube comment section under the video and we’ll answer as many as we can!

We’re at it again with another DEVLOG!
You may watch it here:
Watch on YouTube
For those of you who’d like to read instead of watching the video, here’s the key takeaways:
NEW ITEM REVEAL
With the next upcoming update, we’ll be adding a little robot named DEFIBRO that can help you out during your valuable collecting, as he comes with the ability to revive dead players.

When Defibro detects a nearby dead player, he will spring to action and revive that player. Then, Defibro self-detonates, as his mission is completed.

Defibro can be equipped in your inventory and if you die with Defibro equipped, he will revive you. This means that Defibro works perfectly in SINGLE PLAYER as well!
EXPANDED MAP USAGE
With the upcoming update, you’ll be able to check the map while TUMBLED.
REMINDER REGARDING DEVLOGS
As previously stated; Starting 2026, we are aiming to post videos every other week, on Fridays. We want to make sure that every video we produce has something fun to showcase so this change assures that.
Now go enjoy your weekend, folks!

The Semiscooter is no longer a two-seated vehicle, and the back seat has been replaced with storage utility, where you can store smaller valuables up to a certain value. (Exact value to be determined and adjusted)
The Semiscooter can now gradually become damaged, until it breaks.
The movement and navigation of the Semiscooter has been improved significantly.
SHOP VISUAL OVERHAUL

The shop is getting a visual overhaul!
More things to interact with and gaze upon inside the shop, with more things to be revealed later on!

We are looking into a system where vehicles gets damaged over time and has to get repaired (instead of having a battery like other items).
Adding vehicles to R.E.P.O. also opens up a creative door for future levels, where we can adapt and have vehicles in mind when designing them.
Other fun stuff is coming as well, but more will be revealed in the final devlog of the year, launching next Friday.
Have a lovely, beautiful weekend! You deserve it!
Bye bye!
