    Take to the Skies: Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator Leaves Early Access This October!

    Get ready to experience the intense, fast-paced world of modern aerial warfare. Solo Ukrainian developer Vladyslav Fomenko has officially announced that Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator is preparing to take off into full release.

    The simulator will officially wrap up its Early Access phase and launch its 1.0 version on Steam on October 14, 2026.

    The launch date was revealed alongside a brand-new action-packed trailer, debuted as part of the Ukrainian Games Festival 2026, showcasing the simulator’s grounded realism, brutal electronic warfare mechanics, and high-stakes combat operations.

    Built in Collaboration with Frontline Pilots

    Unlike standard flight sims, Remote Reaper is built with direct input from real active-duty military drone operators. The title puts players directly in the pilot seat as an FPV (First-Person View) drone operator navigating modern warfare scenarios.

    The 1.0 release promises a refined experience packed with features that require strategy, razor-sharp reflexes, and precise mechanics:

    • Authentic Flight Physics & Equipment: Players can craft custom builds using real-world specs, mounting various frames, motors, propellers, cameras, and specialised warheads (such as shaped charges or Explosively Formed Penetrators).
    • Realistic Electronic Warfare (EW): Modern battlefields are hostile to signals. Players must manoeuvre around static, overcome signal loss, navigate terrain obstacles, and punch through enemy jamming to land hits before connection drops entirely.
    • Extensive Controller Support: Designed for all skill levels, the simulator supports full physics modes mapped to popular FPV radios like RadioMaster, DJI FPV, and TBS, as well as traditional Xbox/PlayStation controllers. For casual players, a simplified keyboard and mouse mode holds altitude for easier handling.
    • Online Co-Op & Mission Editor: Take on targets with friends in online co-op missions or build custom combat scenarios using the in-game mission editor.
    • Dynamic Weather & Day/Night Cycles: Battle through shifting winds, heavy rain, thick fog, and nighttime operations that constantly test visibility and control stability.

    Mark Your Calendars

    Whether you are an FPV hobbyist, a military sim enthusiast, or a gamer looking to test your tactical precision, Remote Reaper: FPV Combat Drone Simulator promises one of the most authentic tactical flight experiences available on PC.

    Be sure to check out the fresh trailer showcased at the Ukrainian Games Festival 2026 and prepare your rig—1.0 arrives on Steam on October 14, 2026.

  • From Stone Age to the Stars: Major ‘Agecraft’ Demo Update Drops for Ukrainian Games Festival 2026

    From Stone Age to the Stars: Major ‘Agecraft’ Demo Update Drops for Ukrainian Games Festival 2026

    Strategy fans and city-builder enthusiasts, take note: solo developer Denys Plevako (SnakyDevelop) has officially rolled out a major new update for the Agecraft demo on Steam. Released as part of the Ukrainian Games Festival 2026, this major overhaul gives players a deeper look into one of the most ambitious historical strategy games currently in development.

    In Agecraft, players take full control of a civilisation, guiding its growth from a fragile Stone Age settlement all the way into an advanced, futuristic empire.

    Rewrite History Across Eight Eras

    At its core, Agecraft is a real-time city-building strategy game that fuses deep population management, complex physical logistics, diplomacy, and tactical warfare. Over the course of a campaign, civilisations progress through eight distinct historical eras:

    1. Stone Age
    2. Bronze Age
    3. Antiquity
    4. Middle Ages
    5. Renaissance
    6. Industrial Age
    7. Modern Era
    8. Futuristic / Space Age

    What makes Agecraft unique is how these transitions work. Progressing to a new epoch isn’t just a simple stat upgrade—it completely disrupts your existing economy. Industries that were the backbone of your civilisation in the Middle Ages or Industrial Age eventually become obsolete, forcing players to rethink, rebuild, and re-engineer their production chains and infrastructure to stay ahead.

    Coinciding with the new demo update, a brand-new Bronze Age Trailer was also released, giving gamers a closer look at the intermediate production chains, architecture, and military units introduced in human history’s earliest metallic age.

    Granular Management & Physical Logistics

    If you love deep simulation mechanics like those in Anno, Banished, or The Settlers, Agecraft aims directly for that sweet spot:

    • Every Citizen Matters: You aren’t just managing abstract numbers. Citizens have homes, jobs, and personal needs—including food, water, warmth, healthcare, and clothing.
    • Realistic Logistics: Resources don’t magically teleport across your kingdom. Raw materials must be harvested, stored, and physically transported between workshops, farms, and warehouses via road networks. Warehouse placement and route efficiency directly dictate your empire’s success.
    • Diplomacy & Expansion: Engage with neighbouring states through trade deals, gift exchanges, alliance forging, or total military conquest.
    • Tactical Warfare: Expand on a macro strategic map, then issue commands in 3D battles. Remember: every villager drafted into your army is one less worker tending farms or manufacturing goods back home.

    Try the Updated Demo Now on Steam

    With a full PC release targeted for Q4 2026, the new demo update provides the perfect opportunity to experience the early ages of Agecraft firsthand.

    Head over to Steam to check out the updated demo during the Ukrainian Games Festival 2026 and see if you have what it takes to lead a tribe from wooden huts to high-tech metropolis dominance!
