- UpBreakers Pricing Update - 27 February 2021
Heavy-heartedly, we're officially declaring the development of UpBreakers halted. This is not the final fare-well! What does this mean? First of all, we didn't lose confidence in the project! We have put a lot of work and love into the development of this chaotic piece of colorful pastime and we stand by it 100%! But, truth be told, it didn't perform as well as we had hoped. Which - in part - has to do with UpBreakers being our debut game and us having had no idea how to market a project like this. Nevertheless, we had many wonderful people support us not only on Kickstarter but also on Twitch and YouTube! Together, we had a lot of fun dashing, running and jumping through the levels - wreaking havoc on each map :) Since the revenue did not meet our expectations we had to face the fact that we could not further develop UpBreakers full-time. Since we knew that, the plan was to put it on h…
- UpBreakers Home Office Deal - 27 October 2020

Not only are we releasing a new map for the game, we're also adding a bunch more destruction! You can actually destroy most of the walls in a map now and decide which way is fastest for you and your team. The map will be published on April 20th and in light of this happy occasion we shaved the price a bit. So let your friends know about UpBreakers and while you're at it, come join our Discord Server to be the first to know about new stuff. We're also beta-testing most of our maps beforehand so you will be able to give us your feedback BEFORE the map is final! Happy Easter egg hunt!
- UpDate #3: Prison Map and DESTRUCTION! - 22 February 2019
We might have teased our next map here and there. So far, we weren't quite at a point to show you pictures, yet. However, today is the day - time for letting you guys and gals know about our progress!

Whatever they did (or didn't do) the objective now is to get out of this fustercluck and back to their dayjobs. Contrary to the houses they normally visit, there are no open doors in the pen so the UpBreakers have to do…
- Get the Artbook: Beauties & Brainfarts - 17 January 2019
We planned this for quite a while and today it's finally here: The UpBreakers Artbook! Since before we even started development in late 2017 we collected quite a number of sketches, artworks, assets and visual concepts. Putting them together and walking down memory lane has been a lot of fun! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33436799%2Fa9ac367c6b52d334af596da614113d2c72ae7bbc.jpg What can you expect from the Artbook 25 pages of visuals (sketches, artworks, concepts) Anecdotes of the design and thought processes Insight into the visual development Much blood, sweat and tears of the developers https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33436799%2F50f4c8d81ab33e2f9fe7652c0cb6813440cdf57a.jpg https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33436799%2Ff36c313a7dadae8c46e26c5e23ef65d7f99ab2db.jpg https://steamcdn-a.akamaih…

We're always saying how excited we are but today marks a new high of excitement: We have finished our second map and it is out today for you to ransack! Jacky, Jana, Thomas, Lukas and I have been working on this since we launched UpBreakers mid November and already had a blast play-testing it with Geruhn and his band of streamers to iron out all the kinks and having a lot of fun doing it. So, what can you expect: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33436799%2F3979570f32c677aac95f058bc86b8381682ca31a.png While Santa is nowhere in sight (the elves suspect an evergrowing addiction to battle royal games) his little helpers take matters in their own hands.

- Minor Lobby Fixes and News Bulletin (1.0.0-3368111) - 5 December 2018
In Version 1.0.0-3368111 we added a news bulletin in the main menu and did some minor fixing in the lobby: We fixed some issues with text style You can use gestures now (tap or double-tap the D-pad) You can use the dash now as we said: minor! So if you feel, your time has been wasted, enjoy this little web-generated poem: My love for Upbreakers is so great, my heart melts for it 'til the dusk of day. The night downloads when it's away, waste, update 'til day's dawn. Its beauty is great, Wondering mind 'til it sees, wait is all I do, While waiting for the moment, for it to say "I do."

As we mentioned in our previous update article from last week, we will release a new map! As everyone around us is slowly getting into the Christmas spirit it feels like a perfect theme for our first content update. This map keeps us pretty busy right now as Thomas is working on completing the map's layout, placing pickups, managing interior design and, on top, is making the surrounding landscape look like a winter wonderland. Our interns Jacky and Jana are creating all the nice assets we'll put into the map. Not only are they trying to stay sane navigating through Blender and creating the geometry, they're working on the colorful textures, as well while drawing…
- Localization into Russian and Simplified Chinese - 23 November 2018

- Update #1 - New Content, WhatsApp Sticker, Playdates - 23 November 2018
Here we are after one week of Early Access. And we got quite a bunch of things to talk about. Christmas holidays are around the corner, there is a thing called WhatsApp Stickers, we are confessing known issues of the current version to you, we will add two new languages very soon and we want to play UpBreakers with you! If you're wondering what we're doing since we released UpBreakers about 1 week ago: The very first thing that we did, of course, was opening a bottle of bubbly - humble as we are ːsteamhappyː The initial buzz passed and we noticed that not many things changed. There's still a bunch of stuff to be done until we can call this game truly finished! So, we sat down together and brainstormed our next steps (the details of which we will devulge to you bit by bit). As a result, one of the first things we will be doing next (and are already working on) is some christmasy content…
- It's alive! - 15 November 2018
So this is happening. We are live... out there... for all the world to see. What a peculiar feeling! I guess this is a good time to write something heavy with meaning... On the other hand, this really isn't our style so I will just type away :D So here are just a few words to outline some of the things this release means for you and us: First and foremost: This is an Early Access release! I know, those words sound so fancy and so very, very indie. But it is actually very straight forward: not done yet, incomplete, prone to errors - and we know that! Actually, this is pretty much the whole point of this release: We are debutants and don't presume to have something that is polished and all dolled up yet. Our humble wish is for you to have fun with the fruits of our labour and, best case, have some constructive criticism for us to built upon. There are many more things we have in store for…
