Oirbo News

Hi everybody
It's been a while since our last progress report here on Steam, but if you follow us around you know that we've been working nonstop on the upcoming 5th and final area of the game the Control Bay Area.
We can finally announce that it's done!


Regarding its release, we are thinking of testing it for one or two months with a limited number of players (reach out to us if you are interested!).

After the Control Bay area release to the public we still won't come out of Early Access, we are planning on spending at least a couple of months polishing the game as best as we can (and concurrently working on the console ports).

So the plan right now is to release the Control Bay area in a major update, in the coming weeks/month, and the 1.0 version of the game sometime in Q1 of 2025.

As usual a big thanks for the continued support, and although we are basically 6 months off what we initially planned (we wanted to release 1.0 one year after the EA release) you guys still kept playing and sending us suggestions and feedback, we hope that the Control Bay area meets everyone's expectations!

Next time we post it will be the Control Bay area update announcement ^_^
Thanks again for playing Oirbo and supporting us on this adventure,

Hi everyone,
It's been almost 2 months since our last game update, with a good reason, we are reaching the end of development of the 1.0 \o/.
The work around the control bay area is going smoothly, although it's taking longer than anticipated. Even so, we are pushing to a release somewhere during July or early August, so stay tuned for more Oirbo goodness.

A big thanks to everyone who keeps sending us feedback and bug reports, we will try to spend a couple of days fixing some of the most common reported issues this month!

Thanks again, and keep crashing those robos!

Hi everyone \o

It's been a while since the last update, we decided to stop the weekly updates and push to wrap the Control Bay area, still, we will be making smaller updates and fixing some issues you guys report to us!
We are aiming for a June/July release but it will depend a lot on the boss of the control bay area (we have wacky plans xD).

Until then, keep that feedback coming, we will try to at least do an update a month until the release date!

Thanks again for playing!!

Hi everyone, this week we finally ended the Steam Input integration and with it all the steam deck requirements, now fingers crossed that it gets verified soon :).

In the coming weeks we will also be playing around with haptics (we will leave an option on the game settings don't worry) and see what else we can do with the system.

Thanks again for the support and comments and keep them coming!

Hi everyone \o

Sorry for the 2-week break in updates. We've been spending all this time working Steam Input into our input control system and it's taking a lot more time than expected, we plan to release it soon as well as the full Steam deck compatibility, the game already works perfectly fine on it, but some glyphs aren't showing properly.

The game is also participating in the Dinos vs Robots Fest with a sale, so if you haven't got Oirbo in your library yet, this is the time for it!

Thanks again for all your feedback, we will keep making the game better :3
