Operators,
Before the next order is given, High Command must begin with one simple message: THANK YOU.
Watch on YouTube
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 the entire festival by unique players.
Even now, High Command still struggles to believe the numbers recorded in the June 29 report:
To us, these are not just numbers. Each one stands for a son or daughter of Castile who entered the NEST, became an Operator, and joined the final drill before the full offensive begins on August 6, 2026.
High Command could not be prouder... High Command could not be more grateful...
Feedback, Bug Reports & Suggestions
The demo remains available and will stay operational at least until launch.
The scale of your response was so massive that we reached the maximum number of responses in our Google Forms twice. It was a logistical problem High Command never expected to face, and one we are genuinely thankful for. Glory to the Operators!
You can continue sending reports through the 🔻 DEMO HUB 🔻.
Keep the reports coming, Operators. Every message helps us strengthen IRON NEST 1.0.
🎪 Community Event || Operation: Seize the Shot 🎪
During the festival, High Command also launched a community screenshot operation. Three winning screenshots were selected and have now been placed directly on the IRON NEST Steam store page.

Many Operators delivered shots worthy of recognition. The quality, creativity, timing, and dedication shown during this operation exceeded our expectations.
To every Operator who took part in this event: THANK YOU.
Every submission helped capture the spirit of IRON NEST, and many of your works will undoubtedly serve as inspiration for future propaganda operations.
All submissions that took part in the contest can be found here.
THE DRILLS ARE OVER
Remember, Operator… the demo was only the final drill.
The true offensive begins on August 6, 2026, when IRON NEST deploys on Steam.
If there is a creator, streamer, YouTuber, journalist, or any other potential propaganda officer who you believe might enjoy IRON NEST, feel free to send the signal their way. No order is given here, only a humble request from High Command.
There is not much time left now. The first shots can already be heard on the horizon.
Seal the hatch...
Load the guns...
Await final orders...
FOR THE GLORY OF CASTILE!
Nick & Dominik
