Two Dev Logs in one month Team Lazerbeam? Yes, June is such a massive month for us, we just had to share another blast of news! In our last dev log we announced the launch of an absolutely massive update to our demo. Today we're excited to share we're bringing the demo to Next Fest, and sharing some other details of the growing hype for our first-person, fungal-punk double-deckbuilder. Shroom and Gloom explodes into Next Fext! In the meta-game of making and releasing games in 2026, participating in Next Fest is one of the biggest moments a game can have on it's way to launch. We're delighted to share that Shroom and Gloom has just entered that milestone! Weather your a long time player wanting to catch up on all the recent improvements and changes, or totally new to our world of mushrooms and madness, this is the perfect time to try the Shroom and Gloom Demo! Spread The Spores! SnG is just one of over 5000 demos participating in this festival. Standing out in this sea of game is tricky, but if you'd like to help Shroom and Gloom cut through the noise we would be so grateful for your help. How Can You Help?

🔮 Share the demo, or any of our posts with someone awesome! We do wanna take a moment to thank everyone that's already been sharing and hyping up Shroom and Gloom already, thanks to you... We Hit 200K Wishlists! This is an absolutely surreal moment for us. We're so grateful to everyone that's wishlisted the game. Can't express how great it is to be making this game knowing 206 233 lovely people are hyped for it! Shroom and Gloom getting translations! Over recent months our wonderful programmer Kelly put in an epic effort to update Shroom and Gloom's codebase so it can support localization.
As we approach the final release of the game we'll be rolling out updates about which languages we'll be supporting. For our first reveal we're so stoked to announce our first supported language, Simplified Chinese! What language would you like to play the final game in? Hearing back from the community and reviewing wishlists from different regions will really help us know which regions to localise for!
That's all for now! Thanks for joining us for our second Dev Log of June 2026! Such exciting time here at Lazerbeam HQ, and we're all so happy to have you along for the ride. Stay rad and enjoy the demo!
