Saw a bunch of these comments under the last Steam post:

And since actions speak louder than words, check out this cannon action (sound on)!

Basically, as you guys suggested, once you clear the area from enemies, you will now be able to partly repair the cannon and shoot with it around the area its located in.

Here's what the whole sequence looks from the inside, and the cannon animation on its own.

Hope you guys like it, and keep the feedback coming!

More island news coming soon.


P.S. Let me know what's going to be your first target in the comments. I'm probably aiming for one of my teammates

P.P.S. Volcanoids is 30% off I think

Hey everyone!

Hope 2025 has been treating you well so far!

Since y'all seemed to enjoy the last location sneak peek at The Imperial Rose
Here's another one!



The Stormwatch Bastion was a crucial yet secretive defensive stronghold on the southern edge of Adranos Island. Built by the Iron Wealth to counteract the region's weak defenses, its primary role was to safeguard a nearby sulfur mine—an essential supplier of gunpowder and explosives. Hidden beneath a discreet copper dome, the bastion’s underground tunnels connected directly to a rail system, allowing for secure transport of volatile materials without drawing public attention.

When the catastrophic eruption struck, the bastion’s crew remained steadfast in their duty, securing weapons and sealing off access to prevent opportunists from seizing military resources. As chaos consumed the island, there was no effort to assist escaping civilians—few even knew of the bastion’s existence, and its remote location on the island’s highest ground meant no one tried to reach it. Just as the crew prepared to evacuate, violent tremors ruptured the bastion’s walls, exposing its ammo storage. Moments later, a devastating explosion obliterated most of the stronghold, hurling its massive turret out of the ground and leaving no survivors.

Now, in the aftermath, the ruined bastion stands as a haunting relic of its former might. The enormous Stormwatch cannon lies on its side, corroding, as if it had fallen from the sky. A gaping crater exposes the skeletal remains of the fortress, a labyrinth of twisted gears and shattered metal. While the explosion reduced much of the interior to rubble, some of its most fortified chambers may still hold secrets—locked behind reinforced doors, waiting to be uncovered.

As mentioned in the previous announcement, right now we are putting together area 1 of the new island from all these locations like a big puzzle.

First puzzle piece I've shown was the Imperial Rose.

Stormwatch Bastion is another one.

This secret bunker is going to be the first time you will get to visit a military structure on the new island.

Military areas will have plenty of loot containing ammo, explosives and weapons.

But at the cost of harder enemies to fight.

Similarly how the military drillships work in the current version.

Hope you enjoyed another one of these location snippets!

More coming soon.
