New update this week, fixing yet more minor issues that you reported back to us, and some that we found ourselves. We spent a bit of time figuring out the controller issues that you have reported to us, we are able to fix a bunch (especially the ones that use some third-party software to emulate the Xbox controller) do let us know if everything is finally smooth. Besides that, the team decided to spend the next few weeks polishing everything that we have so far as well as working on the new tutorial sections for the game, which will happen on the Control Bay, so technically the Control Bay development starts now! Next week we will skip the usual weekly update that we've been following ever since the release, the team hasn't stopped since the release so we will take a break and get back in September. As usual a big thanks to all our players and the kind feedback and suggestions you've been sending us!!

Hi everyone \o
It's Friday update time!!!!!
It took us a bit longer than expected (gamedev FTW), but it's finally here the new and improved Mechanical Bay! We redid about 60% of the area, adding more challenges, puzzles, and hazards. All thanks to your feedback over the past weeks, a big thanks for that!!!
Besides it, we also fixed a bunch of issues and idiosyncrasies that you guys reported, throughout the rest of the game.
For the coming weeks, we will focus on the initial gameplay of the game, changing the entire introductory sections of the game, this is again a direct response to all of your feedback, we heard you and will focus on it next! What about the control bay area you might ask? Don't worry it's coming! The concept that we have for this new introductory section will actually be on the Control Bay area! You will have to wait and see XDDD.
Finally, a big thanks to everyone that took the time to send us feedback, you guys keep reminding us that launching the game in Early Access was a very good decision, and your feedback is really helping us shape the game and increase the overall game quality and enjoyment!

0.9.7 changelog
Hi everyone!
Maintaining our focus on releasing fixes, here is a new update! This time solving the different keyboard issues once and for all, by slightly changing the default keyboard control scheme, in order to use keys that are in the same positions in all keyboard types, this will also improve the experience with anyone using gamepads. We worked in the Cargo Bay boss, to ensure that you can track what it's going to do next, so let us know what your thoughts are on the changes! Finally, we did a bunch of quality-of-life improvements, fixing a bunch of smaller yet annoying issues that the game still had. Thanks again for all the feedback you guys are sending to us, it really helps us improve Oirbo!
The mechanical bay revamp is also ongoing, we already added a couple of new mechanics to make it more interesting!!!

Week starts off with another update, once again fixing some issues that you guys reported back to us.

We will try to release that update later this week or early next week!
Until then we will continue to collect all issues and fix them as time allows unless it's a critical game-breaking one, those are fixed ASAP XD.
Thanks again for the awesome support you guys have given us with this launch and with Oirbo, keep that feedback coming!

Hi everyone
It's with great pleasure that we finally announce the release of Oirbo, you can get it now on Steam!
The game is not yet finished, at least one more area to go (the control area, news about it soon), but we are committed to wrapping Oirbo up in the coming months, right now we have set our goals on the roadmap forum post but both the timings and content can change as the game gets into more player hands.
For the coming weeks, we already have planned a big overall in the Mechanical Bay area and fixing any bug or issue that appears in the coming days.
The beta testing period was significant to the game we shaped it to be fairer and a lot less buggy, and many beta testers gave us the thumbs up on the Steam Deck experience, so although not perfect it runs as expected!
A big thanks to our community, families (especially the ones that nagged us when the game would get out xD), and the dev community in general for all the help given throughout the years.
A major shoutout to Sofia, Sarah, Gonçalo, Cranky Templar, Shilag and Ian, ones for putting up with us for all these years and the rest for all the help shaping what Oirbo is.
