| Welcome to Nivalis | 2024-11-10 | Hi everyone, If this is your first journey into the strangely inviting cyberpunk city of Nivalis, we envy you. We've been working on this city for over 7 years now. The cyberpunk voxel art style and its unique residents came to life for the first time with Cloudpunk and was later expanded in City of Ghosts, our full sequel-sized DLC. We're proud little bees as Cloudpunk is featured today on Steam. But we've not stopped working on the city since Cloudpunk launched 4 years (and the DLC a year later). In the upcoming game "Nivalis" you will be able to dive in much deeper, as your job will be managing a restaurant. Or maybe not just one, but a wh |

| Help nominating Cloudpunk for the Steam Awards | 2020-11-27 | A tumultuous year is slowly coming to an end. And as every year, you can nominate your favorite games that released this year for a Steam Award. We would be really happy if you helped nominating Cloudpunk in the "Outstanding Visual Style" category. Landing a nomination alone would be a fantastic achievement for us. This year was a real rollercoaster for us. We launched a game during a pandemic after 3 years of development, which made us all super anxious. Would it work out? Did we miss something? Spoiler: Yes we did, but in those very hectic weeks after launch we tried to fix everything and continued adding features that, we believe, made the |

| Performance & Smoothness | 2020-07-01 | We're calling this update the Butter Update. Butter?! ːsteamhappyː Yes, because it was our intention to make everything smooth like butter and remove all remaining micro-stutters happening in either low or high frames per second. What has changed: Futureproofed the game to all display technologies (high-Hz, G-SYNC, FreeSync, odd-Hz) Better experience for VRR (variable refresh rate), FreeSync, G-SYNC, and high-Hz Better experience for monitors with refresh rates not divisible by 60 (e.g. 75Hz, 144Hz) Far less stuttering/jittering while walking The game behaves better with fluctuating framerates, and framerates not divisible by 60, even on 60Hz |
| Surround Sound modes, FPS unlock and more | 2020-06-27 | We hope you're all enjoying the Summer Sale. Here's a small update that we just patched. What has changed?

Added an option to remove the 120fps limit, which was used if V-Sync is turned OFF. This opens support for FreeSync or G-SYNC support beyond 120fps. By default the game uses |

While working on more long-term updates, we've just released a small update including a range of improvements and fixes. What has changed: Implemented a savegame rolling backup system. Whenever the game is saved, the current save will be backed up and so will the two saves before that. This is mainly intended for scenarios when your hardware crashes during a save process. This is really rare, but we'd like to prevent it affecting your savegame. So if that happens to you and you can't continue with your game, please either restore one of the backup |
