Operators, Tomorrow at 17:00 CEST, IRON NEST will be just one week old. The response has honestly taken us by surprise.

Operators. After thousands of design decisions, hundreds of sleepless nights, countless cups of coffee that legally qualified as industrial solvents… HIGH COMMAND CONFIRMS: IRON NEST IS FULLY OPERATIONAL To celebrate the launch, we've 🔴 increased the release discount from 20% to 25% 🔴 . Not because some marketing spreadsheet told us to, but because this project was never ours alone. When we s…

Operators, Before the next order is given, High Command must begin with one simple message: THANK YOU . Thank you for every report, review, screenshot, suggestion, and word of support. You turned a small two-person indie operation into something far greater than we ever expected . IRON NEST became the 🥇 #1 most wishlisted game of the June 2026 Steam Next Fest . It also became the 🥈 #2 demo of…

{Incoming transmission from High Command} Watch the briefing. Memorize the order. Destroy after review. Leave no trace. {The transmission cuts out} Are you ready to answer High Command’s call and march into the full-scale offensive? For some of us, service to Castile will demand the ultimate sacrifice. Version 1.0 deploys on August 6, 2026. The drills are over, Operator.
Operators, By order of High Command, several matters require your attention today. Take part in our community screenshot event during Steam Next Fest. 🎪 Community Event (CONCLUDED) || Operation: Seize the Shot 🎪 Your screenshot. Your name. On the IRON NEST Steam Store page. Since IRON NEST stands on the strength of its Operators, we decided there is no better place for your work than the offi…
Operator, The day has come. Castile needs you. After months of heavy workshop labor, testing, propaganda, and above all, your full-throttle mobilization, the IRON NEST Demo is now live and ready to play. Command the IRON NEST in this final drill before the 1.0 release. The full 1.0 release of IRON NEST is currently planned for early August. The exact date of the full offensive will be revealed…

Operators, The recording of our Discord live event is now available. If you missed the transmission, you can now watch the most important parts on YouTube . We summarized our latest open playtest (NEST FEST, which took place from February 23 to March 2). We shared our development perspective, discussed what we learned from your feedback, and answered questions from our Operators live. Thank you…
Nick and I have tried to find the right words to properly thank each and every one of you, yet no message could ever fully capture what your support means to us or how deeply it has shaped the growth of the NEST. The proper moment for that recognition will come in the game’s credits... and not only for a select few. As promised, every member of Discord who stands with us on launch day will be h…
Greetings, Operators, With Steam Next Fest beginning tomorrow (and with each title allowed to deploy in Next Fest only once), High Command is launching a separate operation under the codename: NEST FEST . Our official Steam Next Fest offensive is planned for June, but we are opening the gates now with a full-scale public time-limited Demo testing initiative. What exactly is NEST FEST? · Hosted…
Who would've expected a niche indie artillery game to grow at this pace Greetings, Operators! It's hard to believe it's already been three/four months since we first revealed our project on Steam. Time is moving so fast it sometimes feels like it all started just a week ago... Back then, Nick and I thought we'd post a devlog every 1K wishlists ➙ roughly once every two months. Not only did we mi…
I honestly don’t even know how we should start this devlog… Should we begin with the hundredth "thank you" to everyone who clicked that magical "wishlist" button on Steam? Or maybe with an apology for not communicating with you as often as we'd like to? ✯ I think it wouldn’t hurt to start with a little backstory! ✯ There are just two of us working on this project . From the very beginning ➙ whe…
We (Nick & Dominik) were wondering whether the Steam Store Page we put together truly reflects our vision for what IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is meant to become. Hitting our very first milestone (100 wishlists) without any major promotion seems to show that we did a decent job! Of course, if you notice anything on the store page that could be improved or clarified, we’d love your feedbac…
