Greetings and thanks for stopping by!
First of all I wanted to thank everyone for your support of Biomass since its release in 2020, it’s been great to see the game still bringing in new travelers seeking the lighthouse a year and a half since its initial release. The continued interest from all of you is a driving force on some very exciting things to come in 2022 for Biomass that I wanted to talk a bit about today.
Planned for release sometime later this year, Biomass will be getting a free update for existing owners that will remaster the game from top to bottom. I can’t get into all the details here in this post but to give a bit of a tease this is some of what we’ve got planned:
- An art revamp! A large amount of characters and backgrounds are being redrawn from scratch with a higher level of detail, but also maintaining the existing art style (say goodbye to those t-rex arms!)
- Combat changes! Encounters in Biomass will have a bigger focus on melee clashes, toggling weapons mid-combo and deflecting bullets.
- New content! New areas to traverse , new bosses, new quests as well as revamped older ones.
- Some other surprises to talk about at a later date.
To reiterate, this is going to be a free update for all existing owners of Biomass. This effort is going to leave your existing saves incompatible—but the final 1.03 version of Biomass will be made available through a Steam branch if you wanted to continue on with that experience before diving into the remaster.
If you wish to follow along with development and see some updates of things to come I highly encourage you to follow me on Twitter and jump in on the Discord channel for Biomass. Both are going to start getting more frequent updates and teases (perhaps even limited beta tests?) that are going to be right up your alley.

Thanks again for all your support and I hope to see you soon!
