Hive Update #14 - Of Snacks, Survival & Alien Atmosphere

Dec 11, 2025

Hey Explorers!

It’s been a few busy weeks here at our studio, and we’re thrilled to share a peek at how Honeycomb: The World Beyond has been evolving - so pull up a chair, settle in, and let us walk you through what’s been happening behind the scenes. Our team’s been juggling reworks, polishing systems, and breathing new life into assets you’ll soon get to experience yourselves.

If you'd prefer to watch a video version of this update, here's a video version of the entire devlog:

First Things First...

We’re introducing a completely new system - Immunity!

Sota7 is what it is - an alien planet. Therefore, its atmosphere contains certain pathogens that no space explorer from beyond can handle. EON-sealed structures, like your base, will remain your safe haven in-between expeditions, of course, a place where your Immunity won't be affected. But the moment you step outside? It's game-on.

Speaking of that - there is a way to stay safe and healthy outside, don’t worry! Hennessy will be equipped with the blueprint to craft Immunity Pumps, which you’ll be able to equip, increasing your Immunity, therefore giving you more time to explore.

We don’t want to show too much of this mechanic just yet, but here’s a peek at what the pump will look like!

A Fresh Landing

Your journey onto Sota7 deserves a proper entrance. That’s why our landing pod has received a full rework - improving its textures and visual clarity, helping you navigate it better. You can treat it as a completely fresh take on an older feature of the game.

Hairstyles

Along with refreshing the Landing Pod, we’ve added a mirror to its interior, which will allow you to pick Hennessy’s hairstyle from a selected set. These bring more personality, more variety, and a bit more flair to how you present yourself on Sota7.

Making Navigating Sota7 Easier

One of our ongoing goals is making Sota7 easier to read and navigate without compromising exploration. Enter: the directional indicator.

It’s still very much a work in progress but we still wanted to show you the direction we’re heading in - literally. This feature is being added to help you orient yourself more intuitively, allowing you to react to danger or points of interest much quicker.

Animal Snacks

Yes, you read that right! We’ve added snacks to the game! You’ll be able to give them to the animals you encounter on Sota7. Here’s a sneak peek at what feeding a Zhalo looks like!

Resource Reworks

And of course, we’re hot on grinding out all the visual reworks - and our resources aren’t an exception from them.

Here’s a look at how Titanium and Magnetite will look like in the final version of the game.

New Visual Flavours and Grow Bed

On the topic of visuals - we’ve made even more improvements to our VFX! It should really tie things up with each other, even more than before.

And look here! We’ve added a completely new Grow Bed to use! It’ll help you cultivate and automatically gather plant products. You’ll be able to see the sprinklers really working in-game too, since we were talking visuals first - both versions of the Grow Bed will have that feature, actually. Pretty savvy, am I right?

And that’s all for now, Explorers!

We’re continuing to refine the world of Sota7 one feature at a time, and it’s always a joy to bring you along for the ride. Stay tuned for more updates, more discoveries, and more glimpses into what shapes our game.

Make sure to join our Discord[discord.com] if you’re itching for more! We’re doing our best to increase the activity, and we’d love to have you around for it!

Thank you again for sticking with Honeycomb: The World Beyond!

Cheers!

An Important Update Regarding the Release Date

Oct 24, 2025

Hey everyone.

We’ve got some important news to share about Honeycomb: The World Beyond. After a lot of careful thought, we’ve decided to move the release window to the first quarter of 2026. We know that’s not what anyone wanted to hear, but it’s the right call for the game - we want to give ourselves the time needed to make sure Sota7 feels every bit as alive, rich, and captivating as we’ve imagined.

It’s been a long road, and we’re finally entering the polishing stage - that last stretch where everything starts to come together. Your patience and encouragement mean more than you know, and we’d like to show you a bit of what’s been happening behind the scenes.

The World is Evolving

Sota7 is evolving fast. The planet’s environments are getting their finishing touches - denser flora, new biomes, locations and subtle details that make every single one of them stand out. The goal is simple: to make every corner of the map feel distinct and worth exploring.

And yes, the wildlife is growing too. The Nango is officially joining all the other fauna that make the world feel busy, unpredictable, and alive in small but meaningful ways.

Upgrading Your Toolkit

Survival on Sota7 isn’t just about nature - it’s also about the technology that keeps you going. The Drone Scout has been upgraded with a more robust second version, expanding its scanning range and usefulness in the field.

Meanwhile, the hoverboard has received some much-needed love, including new visual effects and improved animations that make gliding across the landscape smoother and more satisfying.

Even smaller quality-of-life tweaks are finding their way in - for example, underground deposits are now more visible and better integrated into the environment, making exploration more intuitive and rewarding.

Bringing It All to Life

Our animation pipeline has been busier than ever. Both Hennessy and the various crafting devices are getting brand-new animations to add fluidity and detail to how the world responds to you. It’s a quiet but crucial layer of polish that helps the game feel truly alive - the difference between something that moves, and something that simply exists.

And for those of you who love sharing your adventures, Photomode is coming along beautifully. It’s evolving from a developer tool into a full-fledged creative playground, with poses, filters, lighting adjustments, and even stickers for the perfect cinematic or goofy shot. We’ve already been having a lot of fun with it internally.

Wrapping Things Up

Delays are never easy, but they give us what matters most - time to make Honeycomb: The World Beyond the experience it deserves to be. The progress we’ve made in the last few months has been tremendous, and the next steps are all about refinement and heart. If you want some even deeper insight into everything we've been working on so far, check out our stream as well.

Thank you for continuing to believe in us.

Remember to check out our socials and join our Discord[discord.gg] if you want to keep yourself up to date.

Stay safe, stay curious, and we’ll see you soon - out there, in the world beyond.

Hive Update #13 - Honeycomb arrives November 6, 2025

Aug 18, 2025

Hello Explorers!

Today we come to you with a bunch of highly anticipated news and trust me when I say that we’re as much excited as you are for this!

Let’s start with a bang!

We’ve prepared a new trailer just for you! Go watch it! It will be worth it!

Yes we have a release date! Set your calendars for the 6th of November! Finally you’ll be able to explore the wonderful and alien world of Sota7! So prepare your scientific tools, space suit and some headache pills (you’ll need them after cryosleep) and get ready to meet all of those fluffy (and some less so) animals. But survival isn’t all about the cute animals, to do so you’ll need to be prepared to look for drinking water, food sources and most important of all you still need to finish your important mission! So be sure to read that debrief.

Meet our newest supporter!

We’ve got some BIG support from someone who all of you probably know! Please prepare a loud round of applause for Nvidia! With them we’re able to provide you with Nvidia DLSS 4, RTX and RTXDI! I could bore you with all the details on how it works and what it will do to the game but why don’t you see it for yourself!

I must admit I got mesmerised by the water in that trailer! I know that your excitement is already through the roof but this Devlog is still far from over! Let’s move to the new stuff we’ve implemented to the beautiful world of Honeycomb The World Beyond!

Catch Us at Gamescom!

One more thing! If by any chance you’ll be visiting Gamescom, be sure to check us out! We’ll have our own stand as part of the Indie Arena Booth, and you’ll be able to play a fresh, content-packed demo of Honeycomb before release. Expect plenty of new features to discover, some cool merch to grab, and of course, a chance to chat with the team!

Let’s start with something that I absolutely adore!

As you might remember some time ago we’ve added small critters to the game. I’ve already shown you a rat, a bat and some insects. This time our small guest took a bit longer to get here… I mean how can you blame him!

And while we’re on the topic of a hardy shell, please welcome the new addition to the big animals in the world of Sota7!

This big ball of scales will be for you to discover in the world of Sota7, all I can share with you is its name - Nango!

Well, speaking of learning and discovering, we’ve decided to change a bit the way you’ll be discovering stuff in Honeycomb: The World Beyond. Instead of using a lab centrifuge, you’ll need to craft yourself a handy scanner to catalogue all those handy (and some not so much) plants.

But the Scanner isn’t the only tech addition since last time! Perhaps you remember the drones that you’ll be able to fly around with. We have them ready to fly!

It wouldn’t be a complete Devlog without our favourite scientist heroine! Now with all the technology provided by Nvidia!

And with that accent, I think it’s about time we’ve finished this Devlog for now…

As always, we hear you and we read everything you say in the comments. If you want more Honeycomb: The World Beyond, remember to join our social media. If you don't want to miss any future Devlogs, consider adding Honeycomb: The World Beyond to your wishlist and joining our Discord[discord.gg]!

DEADWARE. STEAM REMOVE FROM LIST PLEASE!!

Their last response in the forums was back in December 11, 2025. Due to lack of ANY Dev responses, I'd call this one Abandonware/Deadware!

Is Q1 2026 still the release time?

With 30 days left until Q1 ends, it's time for the questions to come again. Are you releasing the game within the next 30? A simple yes or no is enough.

So is it true?

Did Snail destroy this game? What a shame since Snail's other games aren't that good, this could have been a huge break for them
