Greetings, Ironlords.
We hope you have all been enjoying the IRONHIVE Demo, and this first look at the game got you excited for more things to come. For us as developers, releasing anything is also exciting, but unavoidably fraught with worry. However, we've been blown away by the positive reception from all of you. That energy will now fuel our motivation and keep us going the rest of the way. Thank you for taking the time to play the Demo and leave invaluable feedback.
We would also like to highlight content creators which spread the word about IRONHIVE at a time when it needed the spotlight the most. Special thanks goes to Splattercatgaming, Wanderbots, and Retromation, whose coverage of IRONHIVE helped keep it growing.

That said, we are aware that this release revealed some issues, most notable of which is the game’s tutorial, which could definitely use some improvement.
Our initial plan was to stop offering the Demo by June 16th. However, thanks to the feedback you had all shared and the warm reception we’d got, we decided to change our course of action.
We will now be keeping the Demo up indefinitely and updating it in accordance with your feedback and our vision. Here are the core updates you can expect to start seeing as early as July:
- Continued improvements to the tutorial.
- More supported languages as well as updates to the existing localization.
- Continued bug-fixes.
And if you’d like to participate in future closed beta tests or just have the best place for providing feedback — join our Discord!
As we deal with the more pressing updates, we will start expanding the scope of what’s available in the Demo as well. No specific dates for now, but be prepared to venture outside of your IRONHIVE with the Points of Interest update and defend your home from sinister External Threats…
Ironlords, thank you for your continued support. You all deserve to spend more time in this world alongside us and see it grow together. With that, we are resuming work on the game and the Demo.
See you all again very soon.
