Carbon News

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hey, Augs.[/p][p]The grid’s burning hot tonight. Streetlights flicker like dying stars. Word’s out across every sector:[/p][p]Race to the Helipad begins tomorrow.[/p][p]This isn’t just another blast through the mines. It’s an all-out scramble for survival. A vertical dash to the last extraction point before the corp shuttles close the sky.
And this time, you choose how deep you bleed.[/p][p][/p][h2]Two Ways to Run
 [/h2][p]Softcore Mode [/p][p]Run fast, crash hard, get back up.
Respawns are active, and failure just means you’re learning the map. Perfect for fine-tuning your build and mastering the turns before going full speed.[/p][p][/p][p]Hardcore Mode - “One Run. One Life.”[/p][p]No respawns. No mercy. You crash, you’re out. Your run data is archived, your name marked red on the global grid. Only the most precise Runners reach the Helipad in Hardcore.[/p][p]Every mode earns rewards - and the prizes will be announced tomorrow when the event goes live.[/p][p][/p][h2]How to Join[/h2][p]Download the updated demo tomorrow. [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Pick your mode - Softcore or Hardcore - and hit the Ruhan mining facility.[/p][p]Event runs from 10/11 20:00 (CEST) - 20/11 17:00 (CEST). After that, the skies close.[/p][p][/p][h2]Rewards[/h2][p]Prizes will be revealed tomorrow at launch, including rewards for both Softcore and Hardcore runners.[/p][p]All participants will earn at least an exclusive “Helipad Racer” profile frame.[/p][p][/p][p]See you at the top,
The Carbon Team[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Hey Augs,[/p][p]We’ve officially hit 62% of our goal, and it’s all thanks to you. Every one of you who’s backed, shared, commented, or just shouted about the project across the Net, you're keeping this mission alive.[/p][p][/p][p]We started as a small spark in the dark, and now, the signal’s spreading fast. The world’s taking notice. You’ve proven that there’s still power in real community, people who believe in something bold, raw, and built from passion.[/p][p][/p][p]But the job’s not done yet.  So keep your comms open, invite your friends, spread the word, and help us push this thing past the red line.[/p][p][/p][p]Every new Aug that joins brings us closer to full system activation.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay charged, stay loud, and stay proud to be an Aug.[/p][p]Thanks from the Carbon team.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Top Comment from Kickstarter:[/p][p][/p][p]I cannot wait for more of your creation! The demo was so fun I had to immediately back. I love your vision, communication, and involvement of the community you are building. Keep going and you'll build a loyal community around this game for certain. I'll be there![/p][p]- Joshua E[/p]

[p][/p][p]We, Hardwired Studios, wanted to take a moment to highlight a message from our friends at Abylight Studios, who are currently running their own Kickstarter campaign. You’ll find their note below. We think many of you will find it interesting.[/p][p][/p][p]The Abylight team is creating the SOMA 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, a beautiful tribute to one of the most memorable sci-fi horror games ever made. As fellow indie developers, we know how much passion and effort go into bringing such ideas to life, so we’re happy to support them.[/p][p]If you enjoy dark sci-fi and thought-provoking worlds, check out their campaign and show them some love.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Hi Carbon backers,[/p][p]This is the Abylight team, and we’d like to introduce ourselves. We are[/p][p]an indie Spanish studio currently working on the SOMA 10th Anniversary[/p][p]Collector's Edition. We thought this might interest some of you, since[/p][p]SOMA (the sci-fi horror game by Frictional Games) shares some compelling[/p][p]elements with Carbon, an amazing project we are also backing.[/p][p][/p][p]It's not just the dark tone and science fiction setting; SOMA also[/p][p]explores themes like the body-machine interaction and the implications[/p][p]of artificial intelligence. While it is definitely a different kind of[/p][p]video game, we hope you can enjoy both experiences after our respective[/p][p]campaigns conclude.[/p][p][/p][p]We are producing a very limited physical collector's edition full of[/p][p]extras—something we dreamt of creating as game collectors ourselves.[/p][p][/p][p]\[You can check it out here][/p][p]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/abylightstudios/soma-nintendo-switch-physical-limited-collector-edition[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]
Thank you for your time, and good luck with the rest of your campaign!

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Carbon ARPG community has officially passed 1,000 members on Discord![/p][p]If you have backed the project but have not yet joined, this is your moment. The server is where developers, backers, and cyberpunk fans discuss feedback, share gameplay clips, talk lore, and help shape the game together.[/p][p][/p][p]Our Discord is the place to be, get news first, join playtests, ask questions, and chat directly with the dev team.[/p][p][/p][p]Join here: https://discord.com/invite/dT68qHc[/p][p][/p][p]Let’s keep the signal alive and make Carbon even stronger together.
[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Another important signal has joined the network. The legendary creator of Mafia and Kingdom Come highlights our cyberpunk ARPG. Daniel Vávra, one of the most respected figures in Czech and international game development, has publicly recommended our project.[/p][p]Here is his message:[/p][p]Daniel Vávra ⚔ (@DanielVavra)
My former colleagues are working on a cyberpunk Hack and Slash ARPG for PC and it looks very good, you can even try a demo on Steam! So check it out!
@Kickstarter [/p][p]https://t.co/9btjeRGnxz[/p][p][/p][p]For those who might not know him, Daniel Vávra is the creative mind behind Mafia, Kingdom Come: Deliverance I. and  II. His words carry real weight, not only because of his experience, but also because he knows exactly what it takes to build an ambitious game from the ground up.[/p][p]Having such a voice recommends Carbon gives us even more strength to keep pushing forward. It confirms that the world we are creating resonates beyond our team, reaching those who understand what it takes to craft something meaningful.[/p][p]If you share this vision, help us spread the signal. Share the campaign, tell your friends, and join us in shaping the future of Carbon![/p][p][/p]
