Iron Harvest DevBlog #29 - August 2020

We're On The Cusp Full Release And It’s All Happening!

• News: September 1^st, It’s Happening!
• Info: ESL Tournament and Digital Gamescom
• Outlook: But Wait, There’s More!

We release in only 5 more days!

Firstly, a massive thank you to all our backers no matter what level you supported us at. We’re also grateful to all the newer player who came to the Open beta and who have been so supportive and engaging. We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for all of you.

Together, we’ve come a long way since our concept stages and our hugely successful $1.4 million Kickstarter campaign. It’s still great to see so many people who share our vision for a classic RTS game.

These are some of the custom portraits painted for our "rather handsome" You-in-the-Game Backers. You’ll have a chance later to unlock these for yourself.

The Free Open Beta is still available until release, just click here, download the game and Have fun!
