HELLO! As you may or may not know, we're a small studio. Yup , just three of us (and our publisher is not much bigger than that either). You could say that we're a... tiny team . So how apt that we have the joy of being part of this year's official Tiny Teams selection - the Steam Festival all about celebrating small and micro studios! To celebrate, you can grab BOXROOM at -15% off until the ev…

HARK! At long last the wait is over and the very first BOXROOM early access update is here! Time to pack up the 90s nostalgia back into the cardboard boxes - psst, it's ok to refuse - and in with the new, literally. Before that, however, we just want to once again thank you for all the support for BOXROOM so far. We acknowledge the launch and weeks following weren't without challenges but we're…

HELLO! As we see out the last week of BOXROOM' s 90s Nostalgia theme, which brought chunky CRT screens, beanbags and gloriously dated carpets to the game, we wanted to give players another chance to get their hands on the Lava Lamp - which was previously exclusive to Demo players.

BOXROOM has now been out for two weeks, and so we thought it was about time to present the future of the game to you via our Early Access Roadmap. Firstly: thanks to everybody that has picked up the game and invested time into their rooms and game sanctuaries. We know there were a few changes and challenges in getting the game out the door, and we want to say thanks for your patience and suppor…

Moving in day! We made it! It was a longer road than we anticipated through to today, but your BOXROOM is ready. We can’t wait to see your game collections and sanctuaries - or whatever other weird, liminal box-spaces you choose to create. An important and candid note at the top: The delay and compromises we’ve been forced to make in order to bring BOXROOM to Steam are not what we envisioned wh…
Right! Ok. It's been a short while since the last proper update, and you're due some news . Here it is: BOXROOM will launch on June 11th. That’s tomorrow (at time of writing)! Rejoice! There are some important updates relating to this, though - please read! 📦 What happened? As you're probably well aware, BOXROOM uses the Steam API in a rather novel way, and it seems we're one of the very first…
We know a lot of you have been asking the question: where's BOXROOM ? We were holding off posting with the hope that we could simply launch into Early Access with slight delay but as things remain unchanged, we owe you this update now. Last week we experienced an unexpected obstacle in the process of getting the game approved for launch on Steam. We jumped on this immediately, hoping to solve t…
In a mere seven days, BOXROOM will be launching into Early Access here on Steam. On Tuesday 26th at 4pm BST / 11am EDT / 8 am PDT / 5 pm CEST - you can begin the wonderful process or organising and displaying your games, then sharing your room with the world. To use a slightly contrived bit of language: launch is only the beginning, though. We have much in store for you. Each Update in Early Ac…
Hiya! Back again with more! You may have noticed but we've now said goodbye to the demo. Thank you so much for all your invaluable feedback on the game so far. And don't worry, your rooms are still going to be there at launch! But , that's not what we're here for today... We're practically bouncing off the yellow-painted walls to let you all know that BOXROOM will be launching into Early Access…
Well, hello there! It's been five weeks since we announced BOXROOM and in that time, the game has been wishlisted over 48,000 times and the demo downloaded over 52k times, holy wow! We have absolutely loved seeing your collections and creations, everything from childhood bedrooms to museums and backrooms. Your feedback on the demo has also been invaluable to the development of BOXROOM and in th…
Holy wow! BOXROOM has shot past another milestone like it was nothing and currently sits at 42,442 wishlists . We've said it a lot already but ... THANK YOU!! The response continues to humble us, truly! To celebrate, we have actually just launched another update to the demo and this is a chonky one! However, what you also ought to know is that this will be our final update to the Steam demo bef…
Steam's House and Home Fest has come to a close, and BOXROOM has now seen just shy of 30,000 demo installs , and - at time of writing - 31,055 wishlists . FLIPPIN' 'ECK! THANK YOU! The response to the game's big hook of physicalising your Steam library has really resonated, and seeing players share recreations of their bedrooms as kids, game caves as teens, or some new aspirational space that n…
What's up roomies!? (told you we were going to stick with this) Following all of your fantastic and helpful feedback on the BOXROOM Demo we have snuck in another lil Demo update for you. Keep that feedback coming (you can send via the survey here ) as we're still very closely listening to everything you send our way as we prep for the exciting Early Access launch later this spring! DEMO 0.7.13…
Two days since our last little milestone update, we're here with another! BOXROOM has now been wishlisted well over 20,000 times, with over 16k demo activations. Crikey. We'd also like to thank all of you for giving us such detailed and copious feedback ( form here , for those that haven't and would like to) - this is now all being prioritised and worked back into our production plans as we car…
Oh hey roomie! How are you? You look nice today. We lifted the lid on BOXROOM not 48 hours ago, and have just crossed the 10,000 wishlist threshold - so we wanted to toot our horn a little bit. The concept of turning your Steam library into something tangible - something you can pick up and turn around in your hands - has really resonated, and it's been incredible to see news about the game hit…
What's up roomies!? (literally just thought of that right now and it's brilliant, going to use that more) We're a day since announce and dropping the BOXROOM Demo as part of Steam's House and Home Fest, but we already have a little Demo update for you (need to get ourselves into a good update rhythm with Early Access just around the corner...) Just some small bits for now, but we're listening v…
