  About the further development and Steam Deck support

  Hello, there has been no news about the game for a lo-o-ong time.I'm continuing development and am currently working on a major update that should improve the overall gameplay and long-term progression of the game (i.e. replayability). A game match will now only take place on one planet per run. The time it takes to complete a run will be reduced, and the speed of character leveling will be increased (it will now be possible to gain 20 levels or more in a single run).This update development will take some time, so it is difficult to give an exact release time frame :)Also important news is that we're working on support for Steam Deck, Steam OS and possibly other types of Linux. We want to improve the controller experience and make it possible to play the game portable.Echo Storm already support controllers, but Steam Deck is specific one, so we need to make different optimizations and controls scheme enhancements to make it work fine on this platform. Have a nice holidays, by the way! Happy 2026!✨

  Echo Storm - Update 1.4.2 is here!

  Hi, it's been a while since we've had an update! Unfortunately, I haven't gotten over the marketing and the game is barely selling - there was no way to fund development. Things are easier now, so I'll keep releasing updates and improving the game if possible. Today I have a small update, which doesn't change the game much, but brings a lot of new internal improvements. In general - some art has been improved, bugs have been fixed, Chinese language has been added, map editor is now available (very early version). Changelog: - Environment details were added to the all locations - Chinese localization added - Disable screen shake option added - Minor bug fixes - Fixed some visual flicker problem - Localization problems fixes - Moved to a newer engine version, some inner code improvements - Base planet buildings received a bit of visual rework. - Menu visuals improved. - Mods support extended: added Enemies Health Scale parameter - Added support of "-map_editor" launch parameter to start Map editor on game launch - Map editor now supports map background change (all game planets backgrounds included) - Map editor font replaced with more readable font - Map editor now supports creating a new map. Previously only loading of existing maps was supported - Fixed map editor GameStartPoint and some other entities not worked - Fixed map editor playing music from fight

  Update 1.4.0 released!

  Hi! The update for Echo Storm is ready! The update includes a new planet with its own Leviathan, a few new enemies, new weapon, and done some work on the game balance. I hope you enjoy it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43583518/cc74479f97f26147b16eea04dbef2cc9580bcd94.gif Changelog: - Added new planet Kratea! It is a dangerous world with very aggressive enemies. - Added new Leviathan for the new planet Kratea! - Added two new enemies, one of them have attack fire debuff, so be careful on Kratea. - Enemies spawn was reworked. Now enemies do not spawn infinite time on each area - now, you can fully clear area before going to bossfight. Spawn on different areas now has different enemies. - Added some new music! - Added new Machinegun weapon with rapid attack speed. - Added distortion effect to the explosions. - Increased damage for abilities with Return Damage buff. - Changed some balance to make game faster a bit. - More screen shake effect impact on grenades explosions. - Fixed bug with teleport at the second Leviathan arena. - Fixed lightning on fourth planet. - Some work was done on supporting NPC modifications (for players mods). It still in progress, but mod base was partially completed for future updates. Working on this update took longer than I expected, and I'm finally ready to release it. Not as much content has been added as I would have liked, but I've been able to work on the game inner systems to make them more flexible - it will simplify the development process. Thank you for patiently waiting for this update!

  About current work on Echo Storm

  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43583518/a0e422561ae64337d5bd5b0c1d1f3df6332839d8.png Hi. It's been quiet around here lately in terms of updates, but I'm still working on new content, and I'm planning a new update in the near future. I'm currently working on changing the enemy spawning system. The plan is to have enemies more separated into different types of planets than they are now. Also, another planet with its own enemies is planned to the next update. And... Some other things is coming. :)
