When people think about their hometown, food is often one of the first things that comes to mind. And for the residents of Nivalis, it's no different. Watching a film while crunching on crispy Cola Chicken, waiting for summer to finally enjoy a Summer Salad (strictly banned during any other season), sharing a slice of Meridian Pizza with friends, or sipping a VegCoffee on a rainy afternoon. As a restaurateur, food is at the very heart of what you do, and knowing how to offer the right variety of dishes to your customers can make all the difference, both for your wallet and for their experience

We know we’ve been quiet lately, and we appreciate your patience! Since last October, we’ve been quietly sorting out a legal matter at ION LANDS with a third party behind the scenes.

It is the exact same game you have been waiting for, just with a fresh new title and logo.Best of all, the city is ready to welcome you as one of its own on September 29, 2026.Dive back in and watch

Introduction to OptimizationThroughout the development of our game, the world has become increasingly larger and more alive. While this has been an exciting part of the project, it also introduced new performance challenges.As we approach release, our focus has shifted toward final polish. Over the past few months, we have dedicated our time to fixing bugs, implementing localization, and heavily optimizing the game to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible. Level Design & VisualsBuilding a "cozy cyberpunk" world presented a unique set of challenges. We wanted the city of Nivalis to feel dense

Hey future citizens, For this month’s devlog, we decided to answer questions from our Discord community, collected over the past week. We received a lot of them (thank you!), so we put together a mix of the most requested topics. The goal of this Q&A is to give you a clearer idea of what your experience in the game will look like, while also summarizing some of the things we’ve covered in previous monthly devlogs. Before we dive into your questions and our answers, we also want to address the elephant in the room. We know you’ve been waiting for the release date announcement and rest assured,

With all the non-stop work, story finalization, voice recording, and the countless behind-the-scenes details that demand our attention, the very concept of time keeps becoming more abstract: it’s hard to believe two months have already passed since the last devlog! Last month, we took some time to reflect and share the current state of development with you, and we can’t thank you enough for the support and understanding that followed. It means a lot to know that so many of you understood our reasons and share our decision to release the way we envisioned it. We’re aware that this brings its ow

With a bit of delay, we’re ready to say goodbye to September, which has been an incredibly busy month. Among its highlights - beyond development, of course - was the voice casting. We’ve been listening to thousands of auditions, with over 6,000 entries currently under careful review, gradually discovering outstanding talents who are bringing to life the characters that will populate the streets and stories of the city. With that, we want to take this opportunity to thank all the actors who submitted their applications! In this month’s devlog, we’ll introduce you to a district of the city that’

Another month of hard work has flown by, and we’re ready to embrace the new season just around the corner with excitement. Challenges are part of the daily routine, but Nivalis has grown livelier day after day, and soon exploring it, breathing in its atmosphere, and immersing yourself in the stories of its inhabitants will become a tangible reality. Nivalis is a complex city - we’ve never stopped telling you that - and as you get to know the lives of those who dwell in it, their habits, their secrets, and yes, even their quirks and contradictions, it will be up to you to decide what to do with

We've reached the end of the month, and that means it's time to give you a peek behind the scenes of our work - this time, in a more literal sense. After sharing some of the experiences you'll live through and introducing a few of its eccentric residents, today we're letting you dive into the city itself through a set of new clips. We hope these will help you better imagine what it feels like to walk through the bustling streets - and what kind of atmosphere you'll breathe in. And now... WELCOME TO THE CITYThe districts are as unique and distinctive as the very soul of the city - a reflection

May has, as always, been a month full of work, where we focused on improving the game and implementing major adjustments and refinements. We also had the chance to spend time together as a team, which is always a valuable opportunity to share ideas and continue on our path to reach our goal: to let you explore soon, and in the best form possible. In the meantime, we’re also gathering your most frequently asked questions and working on updating the FAQ section on the forum, so we can provide you with an up-to-date version as soon as possible. For this devlog, however, we’d like to dust off the
