Dear players, We sincerely apologize to all fans of Bioprototype. The game was removed due to the publisher’s policy violations on Steam, and the compensation plan did not meet your expectations. Below is the full story and our new solutions.

1.Cause and Responsibility of the Incident

1. The reason of the removal

●Bioprototype was developed by our team and published globally by a publisher company BD Games. ●In early 2024, the publisher broke Steam rules. Since we're not the administrater of the publisher team, we're unable to know the details of the violation. As a result, their Steam account was permanently banned, and all games they published (including ours) were removed forever. ●This violation had nothing to do with our team or Bioprototype, but Steam required all games cooperated with the account to be removed. ●Important Notice: The removal only affects Bioprototype. Its sequel Bioweaver is a new project, NOT a renamed version of Bioprototype. We regret that some players mistakenly believed the still-available Bioweaver to be a rebranded Bioprototype. We hereby confirm the two are separate entries in the same series.

2. Our Mistakes

●We failed to check risks in the publisher partnership and didn’t draft any legal provisions against publisher's violations. ●We handled the crisis poorly: From June 2024 to the present, in order to maintain the basic operating funds of the company, we chose to focus on developing the new project and entrusted an outsourcing service agency to handle over 100,000 players' key requests manually. During this period, we hoped to explain the situation to Steam to restore the game and communicated with the official through various channels multiple times, but were ultimately rejected. These wrong measures lead to the untimely or missing issuance of keys. ○Early on, we forced players into an Epic key solution due to Steam’s key limit (only 2,000 keys allowed). We ignored that many players prefer Steam, and this decision was careless. We are truly sorry.

2. The Reason Why Solutions Were Delayed

●We signed Anti-price discrimination Agreements with the publisher on other platforms before the incident. If we had released Bioprototype for free at any time, we would have faced legal action and heavy penalties. ●This was another mistake in our risk management—failing to foresee how these contracts would limit our response during a crisis.

3. Current Solutions

1. Free Access & Compensation

●Bioprototype will return to Steam for free for 2 months (May 20–July 20). All players can add it to the library. Add to Library: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3689520/_/

2. Discount for Bio-Series Bundle

●Everyone who claims Bioprototype during the free period will get an 20% OFF for the Bio-Series bundle. This offer works forever when buying the bundle.

4. Acknowledgments

Thank you to every player who criticized us, gave advice. Your feedback helped improve our games. If you have any comment, feel free to reach us via Discord or Steam Community.

Hello everyone. The development of the Steam Workshop support has been processed for about 4 months, but due to some team member changes, the progress has been slower than expected. As of today, some technical issues have not yet been resolved, such as instability of saved files and conflicts of organ data. Under this unstable circumstance, we have considered it carefully and decided to first update some of the Workshop functions that have been tested internally as a test branch. Currently, this beta version only supports Antenna modifications. The other organs will be added after this beta version is stable. If you have already backed up your saved data, please follow the steps below to get access to the new features.

In the Steam library, select “Bioweaver”

Right-click to open the menu and select ‘Properties”

Open the ’Betas” tab

Enter the password bioweaverworkshop and click the “Check Code” button

In the ‘Beta Participation’ area, select the workshop branch. The game will then be automatically updated

Fixed a bug where the Limb of the Kraken (Replica) could still be activated when being paralleled with an Antenna

Fixed a bug where data was saved in a wrong format due to memory leaking

We attempted to upload some relevant codes for the Steam Workshop yesterday, but this triggered some unknown conflicts, causing the saved data to be unreadable. After trying for a day, we found this error cannot be solved in the short term, so in the latest patch, all of these updates have been rolled back. Due to the approaching Spring Festival holiday, we were unable to quickly process the error and update the patch, so we have decided to postpone the release of the Workshop until next month. We will also release a free DLC with a character skin for everyone in the second week of February as compensation. We apologize again. We also wish you all a happy Spring Festival.

The development of the Workshop is almost complete. However, due to a possibility of causing conflicts with exsiting saved date, the feature will be released in beta test branch first, and will be synchronized to the official branch only after it is stable. We will post an announcement on how to access the beta test branch within 1-2 days.
