| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #13 | 2025-12-02 | Welcome to a new development diary—that's right, there's still plenty of work ahead.

Right now, aside from minor visual and functional adjustments, our focus is on: First, making the game more accessible. We're working on |
| BoN Patch 1.0.4 | 2025-10-29 | It's been a couple of weeks since the launch, and after the general fixes of the first week, the first planned update is here. With this update we aim to lay the groundwork for future updates and game modes. Gameplay -The range of the rifle, mini gattling gun, and mini cannon laser have been adjusted, increasing their range by 13%. -The rifle can quickly switch between ammo types while firing.

| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #12 | 2025-03-17 | I'm back with possibly the last dev diary before launch... Christian here, and you can't imagine how long I waited to say this. Development Status Since the last post, there have been some changes that made the process of finishing the game slower. The reality of being an indie game can be complicated at times, but we've reached the stage where we're starting to add final translations to the game while doing the necessary revisions to make sure everything is running smoothly. We're fine-tuning mechanics, fixing bugs, and making some changes to the game art. This allows us to move on to the next stage, which is inviting you to fill out the for |

| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #11 | 2024-12-03 | After a couple of months, I'm back with a new development diary. My name is Christian, and I'm here to share the latest updates and a special announcement at the end. Last Months of Development That's right, we’re finally in the last stage of development. This means we are focused on balancing the game, testing the different levels and mechanics. We're also fine-tuning various art assets and working on a small introductory animation for the game. This was reflected in our participation in LevelUY and CONAVI, an event in Uruguay where we reached the finals in several categories. The Demo As we mentioned in the previous development diary, the d |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #10 | 2024-09-05 | It's been a while since the last dev diary, Christian here I am to clear up some doubts and announce a few things. Let's deal with the elephant in the room first. So yeah, we did a Kickstarter and the game didn't meet its goal. Does that mean the game isn't going to be made? Of course not, the production and development of the game continues as we had planned. But some extra things we would have liked to have in the game at launch aren't going to be present. Maybe we can add them later via updates. Not meeting the goal means there is no audience for the game? Again, no, the failure of the Kickstarter is due to several factors, the main one be |
| A little history about the rusty ones | 2024-08-15 | "When the Artificial Intelligences tasked with terraforming the desert world rebelled against their creators, the world’s settlers were forced into war with the machines. With all communications lost with Earth, the people of Neyda fought alone to reclaim their world." Who are the rusty ones? For decades, various models of robots played crucial roles in the terraforming and construction of Neyda's first city, and you’ll find them in the game. The most widespread and numerous model before the great disaster was the humanoid robot, designed primarily for service tasks. These robots were integrated into every aspect of life in Neyda with differe |
| Gameplay Possibilities for Beacon of Neyda! | 2024-08-06 | our recent exclusive update for Backers in our kickstarter campaign, many of you expressed a keen interest in learning more about the gameplay possibilities of our game. Today, I am excited to share some additional news and insights. The Player Firstly, there are several ways to alter the gameplay, with the most basic being through changes to the player's abilities.

| Demo available now! | 2024-07-02 | Hello everyone! my name is Christian and I am going to tell you about the Beacon of Neyda demo... After a few hectic weeks, I will answering some questions that you have asked me these days. Why now? Although the demo was published after our game participated in LAGS 2024 (a couple of weeks ago), it honestly did not come out in its best state and we had to make several adjustments to polish the experience, it is still somewhat rough but I think it has improved enough to be an acceptable demo, that's why we announced it now... also preparing a Kickstarter campaign alongside the demo affected us a lot, the good news is that the demo will be ava |

| Beacon of Neyda Kickstarter Announcement | 2024-05-06 | We want to make the official announcement that we are going to start a Kickstarter campaign soon. Yes, the time has come, what we mentioned would be a possibility in previous dev diaries is now a reality Why Kickstarter? Kickstarter makes it possible for small, niche video games like ours to thrive. The project was born with an idea in 2022 and after creating the first prototype and showing it at events, we felt confident in expanding the project, winning several awards along the way. At the end of 2023 we got what we needed to be able to work full time on the project and we also managed to have the help of ID@Xbox so that our game is on thei |

The Demo announcement it is completely official and will be available in a maximum of a couple of months. What will this demo cover? The introductory level of the campaign, where all the basic mechanics will be taught and a little of the internal Lore of this universe will be explored, leaving enough crumbs of history so that there is interest in seeing the following chapters.

| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #8 | 2024-02-01 | First devblog of 2024, sorry for the delays like every beginning of the year and how our last few months have been... we could say that it has been busy, new things to tell about the development and news from the studio. I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Christian and I'm going to tell you about all the news! Technology from Neyda world "Upon arriving on the new planet all the AI's automation protocols came into progress and the construction of the big city began:" With a better defined story and a deeper lore, many artistic and design decisions have been adjusted, mainly in terms of the functioning of certain things, for example the e |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #7 | 2023-11-23 | Okay it's been almost 2 months but Christian is here! Hi! Today I bring you a summary of how development is coming and what has happened in these almost couple of months since our last dev diary. Why the delay? Let's get to the point, because we are working on the game... yes I know you would think it is a stupid answer, but if you have seen the previous dev diaries, you will remember that we have had a lot of problems working on the game in the year... To be able to maintain the studio we accepted other jobs and made small progress on Beacon of Neyda, slowly but steadily, but we did not get the funds to finish it and after many rejections ev |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #6 | 2023-09-01 | It's me Mari... I say Christian and as I anticipated in the previous dev diary we have returned to work more energetically in the game and I come to tell you a little about this. Neyda world "When the Artificial Intelligences tasked with terraforming the desert world of Neyda rebelled against their creators, the world’s settlers were forced into war with the machines. With all communications destroyed, the people of Neyda fought alone to reclaim their world. Decades later, the survivors of the war continue the fight against the last robots, still infected by the AI’s orders of destruction. Meanwhile, something new may be awakening in the sand |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #5 | 2023-08-01 | Christian here! Hi! Today I bring you a summary of how development is coming and what has happened in these couple of months since our last dev diary which was a while ago... so let's get down to business. What happened? Getting to the point, lack of financing, that's what happened, since we couldn't secure any stable source, we had to carry out other types of work and actions to maintain the study. This left us with little time for the game. In addition, our studio has a particularity, despite being a small studio (5 people), we generally take care of actions that larger studios would do. An example of this is participating in different even |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #4 | 2023-02-24 | Christian here! Hi! Today I bring you a summary of how development is coming and what has happened in these couple of months since our last dev diary. Development Status Our last dev diary was in December where we announced that we were going to stop development during the holidays and that we would return in 2023. But what has happened since then? the answer is a bit complicated, we have returned to the development of the game but very slowly, we are still dealing with some funding issues but the biggest problem has been the bureaucracy. I'm not going to bore you, but in the last month and a half we've had to deal with a ton of paperwork, ta |
| Beacon of Neyda Dev Diary #3 | 2022-12-10 | It's almost the end of the year and maybe this new dev diary is a bit late but it's going to have to count for two. Christian here again with news about Beacon of Neyda. "Best Art" For a few months we have a pre alpha build of the game that we use to participate in events and thanks to the wonderful work of our artist Franco alias "Pelado" and the small team that we have in general we have won two awards so far. Something that makes us very happy because if we achieved that with a job in pre alpha, can you imagine what we could achieve with a final version? Having said all this, we currently have a new pre alpha version which will be receivin |
