Thanks for following the news and sending us bugs, you're really helping us out!

Hello everyone!

Today we're announcing the next update: Level Generator!

We're preparing to release our first major update.

We'll announce the exact date soon, but it will be sometime this month.

This will be a separate game mode (independent from the story mission).

In it, you'll be able to choose some parameters of the generated map.

For example, the duration and leveling of your character.

It will also feature at least two biomes: the stone walls of the castle and dungeons, and the icy caves and tunnels.

Naturally, this will be a free update, as we promised.

Here's a video from our internal tests:

Tomorrow, there will be a new update for the current version of the game.

Stay tuned!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs; you're a huge help!

Hey everyone! We've sold 50,000 copies of our game, Meltopia. 50,000 players! That’s like a whole town somewhere in Austria! We appreciate you so much and are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do what we love. Thank you! You help us immensely when you report issues and send us your save files. Some bugs are just impossible to fix without them. So, thank you for that as well. Just a reminder: you can get free weapon skins in our Discord-server. (We noticed many of you saying you'd rather not use Discord. Please let us know in the comments what other platforms would be more convenient for you!). Also, a big game update is coming soon: we are working on level generation. This is a fully-fledged game mode where you can customize the game settings to your liking and enjoy melting snow on brand-new, non-repeating levels. We are also preparing an Endless Mode and Co-op, but those will be part of a future summer update. That one will bring even more content, including character selection! These updates will be completely free. We just want you and your friends to enjoy the game without any extra spending. The work continues! Your Meltopia Team

Hey everyone!

There aren't any major changes today, but we fixed a bug you've been reporting for the last couple of days.

Specifically, you couldn't skip the tutorial window and equip the Tesla Gun to melt blue snow.

Really-really sorry about that!

We've fixed it, and everything should be working as expected now.

Also, in one of the next updates, we plan to improve the autosave system so it doesn't freeze the game. This is quite a labor-intensive task, so we can't solve it quickly. But we already know the cause and are working on it.

Thank you for reporting bugs and sharing your saves and logs!

It really helps us.

Hello everyone!

We have another update!

Today's changes:

- Added a new gas station vending machine with a reload animation (you can now reload with a single button)

- Increased inventory capacity

- The minecart menu can now be closed with the Tab key

- Fixed some visual graphical bugs

- Added light sources in dark and significant areas

- Optimized some assets and textures

- Speeded up the meltgun and tesla reload animations

Thanks for following and playing!

Lots of content coming soon!

Hi everyone!

A little over a week ago, we announced that we were preparing a surprise for the players who have been helping us all this time.

And yesterday, that surprise finally arrived — a special skin for all weapons and tools: ICEBREAKER PROTOCOL.

Everyone who wrote comments, reported bugs, created new topics in our community, told bloggers and streamers about the game, and helped Meltopia grow — you can receive this DLC as a gift.

This skin is for you. And only you. It won’t be available in any other way.

New Content

We know that what you want most is new levels and new content.

And we’re working hard to release it as soon as possible.

That’s why we came up with something special: our most loyal players will be invited to a closed Discord chat with the developers.

You’ll be the first to play, test, and share feedback on the huge new content mode we’re currently making.

How to Get the Gift

Hello everyone!

We have another update!

In this update:

We've added the Frozen Expedition DLC.

It includes new skins for the meltgun, Tesla, and shovel.

And a Supporter Bundle for those who want to support us:

Also:

- Dynamite and lanterns can now be thrown while moving.

- Different dynamite explosion radius for each snow and ground type. 300 for white, 150 for blue, 50 for dirt.

- Cold zone bug fix.

- Meltgun skin VFX and lighting fixes.

- Cold zone sound fade-in.

- Shovels now appear on the leveling table.

Thank you all so much for your support!

And tomorrow we'll release an update especially for those who found bugs and helped us!

We continue to improve the game, and thanks to your comments, it's getting better and better!

Hi everyone!

We want to share an important update about the future of Meltopia.

We’re continuing to work on the game: fixing bugs, improving balance, polishing the overall experience, and carefully reading your feedback. Thank you to everyone who is already playing, leaving comments, sharing impressions, and supporting the project — it truly means a lot to us.

Now, to the main news: we’re preparing a free update for Meltopia with a new Endless Mode.

This won’t just be a “play longer” mode. We want to make it feel like a separate, content-rich adventure where you’ll be able to explore the world, face new challenges, experiment with weapons, and keep playing even after finishing the main story. We already have some really cool ideas and mechanics planned that should make this mode genuinely exciting. We think you’re going to like it.

We’re also already working on multiplayer. It won’t be added immediately — it will arrive as the second patch for Endless Mode. This way, we can first polish the foundation, gather your feedback, fix the most important issues, and then add co-op in a better and more stable form.

It’s very important for us to keep developing Meltopia: adding new content, expanding the game’s possibilities, and making it better together with you.

If you want to support us, now is the perfect time

The discount on Meltopia ends in 4 hours. It’s a great chance to grab the game at a lower price, support the team, and join the project at the very beginning of its next stage of development.

Thank you for your support. There’s still a lot of exciting things ahead for Meltopia!

Hi everyone!

Today is a very important day for us — Meltopia has officially launched into full release.

We’ve been working toward this moment for a long time: improving the game after the demo, refining the balance, controls, progression, weapons, visual effects, and the overall gameplay experience.

Thank you to everyone who followed the project, added the game to their wishlist, played the demo, shared feedback, and supported us along the way. For a small team, this kind of support truly means a lot.

To celebrate the release, Meltopia is available with a 40% discount. This discount won’t return later, so now is the best time to pick up the game and enjoy it from the very start.

We would also be incredibly grateful if you could leave a review on Steam. Reviews at launch are extremely important for the project: they help other players discover Meltopia, and they help us understand what you enjoyed and what we can improve in future updates.

Every review means a lot right now.

Thank you for being with us. We really hope you enjoy Meltopia!

Hi everyone! The full release of Meltopia is coming very soon — on May 1.

We’ve been working toward this moment for a long time, actively improving the game after the Demo release. During this time, Meltopia has grown significantly: it’s become bigger, more cohesive, and much closer to the experience we originally envisioned.

The full release brings a lot more content and new features:

• reworked early game experience;

• a deeper progression system;

• an improved meltgun that visually evolves with each upgrade;

• a brand-new weapon with its own progression;

• more challenges and gameplay scenarios;

• a complete ending;

• overall polish of balance, controls, and game feel.

A special thank you for your support — Meltopia has already reached over 30,000 wishlists, and that truly motivates us to keep going.

There’s not much time left until release, and we really hope you’ll enjoy the game!

Hey everyone! We’re actively preparing the game for its full release — and the quality level will be noticeably higher than in the demo.

In the demo, we did everything we could within a limited time. But the full release will offer much more:

• deeper progression

• a reworked game start

• a complete ending

• more content and possibilities

Everything will feel bigger, more polished, and more cohesive. For example, the weapon upgrade system is already in place — and with each upgrade, the melt gun changes visually.

We’ve also updated the demo — now you can play with a controller and on Steam Deck. If you have a gamepad, we’d really appreciate it if you could test it out.

We’d love your feedback: • is the control comfortable? • are there any bugs? • does the gameplay feel smooth overall?

Thank you so much for your support!

We’ve already reached 25,000+ wishlists — and the best part is, they keep growing every single day since the demo release. It truly motivates us to push even harder.

Release date — May 1

Are you excited?)

Hello everyone!

- updated the steam from melting

- fixed save settings

- added checkbox for running settings (now you can hold or press once on the run-button)

- added inversion for mouse

- the resurces now don't spawn inside the textures

- fixed a few little bugs

- added a finish demo window

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your feedback — it’s great to see so many of you sharing your impressions. It’s clear that the first hour of the game feels cozy and leaves a strong positive impression, but after that, more depth and variety would make the experience even better.

Right now, the focus is on adding more content to make the game something you’ll want to return to again and again.

In this build, we:

• rebalanced the game;

• fixed the save system;

• fixed the bugs you reported;

• added a frosty vignette effect when the character is freezing.

We’re very happy that you’ve been enjoying the Meltopia demo!

What keeps us motivated:

• 97 reviews and VERY POSITIVE. Shall we go for Overwhelmingly Positive? :)

• 175 concurrent players! Wow!

• The game is about to pass 20,000 wishlists. That’s more than we could have dreamed of. And this isn’t even the full release yet!

We’ll be announcing the release date soon. The release will come much sooner than you think.

And we’ve got a question for you: do you want multiplayer here or not?

Would you like to play Meltopia with friends, or is a solo meditative experience just right?

Write to us here or in our Discord channel.

Hello everyone!
