SITREP #007: One Last Push To EA

Mar 2

Hey Opreators!

As mentioned before, we want to keep you updated and share some news with you. Many of you are already waiting in the starting blocks, eager for Early Access ...and honestly, we feel exactly the same way.

Over the past weeks, things have noticeably gone quieter on our end. That was due to several negotiations and conversations we needed to have in order to figure out the right path forward for both us and Echoes Below. We’ve never made a secret of the fact that we’ve reached our financial and personal limits. Because of that, we seriously considered investors, publishers, and bridge deals for quite some time.

However, the deeper we looked into those options, the clearer it became that what would be required from us would essentially mean putting the game on hold and starting something almost like a parallel project. After many discussions, we decided to take the harder .. but for us, the only right...path and remain independent. Exactly as we originally intended from day one.

That’s why we’re genuinely excited to tell you that Echoes Below will be launching into Early Access very soon.

We won’t commit to a specific date just yet ... as you know, game development is never entirely predictable. What we can say, though, is that we’re closer than you might expect. At the same time, we want to protect ourselves by taking some pressure off and avoiding unnecessary stress during this final stretch.

We truly want to thank every single one of you for your patience and the incredible support that has reached us across so many platforms. And thank you as well for the many ideas and suggestions regarding funding and support.

Earlier today, inspired by a post from one of our discord member, we once again discussed how we could overcome this final stretch. We decided on a completely pressure-free and voluntary option where everyone can decide for themselves. It was important to us that we only receive what is genuinely necessary - nothing more.

That’s why we chose Ko-fi. We’d really appreciate it if you’d take a moment to check it out. Every bit of support helps more than you know!

One Last Push To EA! [ko-fi.com]

The main reason we haven’t been posting frequent updates recently is simply that producing the visuals for them (videos, GIFs, polished showcases ) takes a significant amount of time from our already packed schedule.

We will be sharing more details and insights regarding the current development status, changes, improvements and all the cool new stuff on our Discord[discord.gg] soon. We will update the Steam Store Page accordingly, including trailer(s), screenshots and also drop new community updates once we find the time to do so.

Have a great week!

SITREP #006 - Echoes Below Development Update

Jul 15, 2025

Hey Operators!

We’ve got big news we can finally share with you! To keep things short and informative, we're splitting this announcement into multiple parts, and we’ll reveal more of what we’ve worked on incrementally as the Early Access launch gets closer.

To kick off this series of announcements, we thought it would be cool to include one of the most impactful changes to the game. Over the past few weeks, we’ve pushed ourselves to the limit once again – and now, we’re thrilled to announce:

Echoes Below will launch into Early Access with full Coop support from day one!

The full integration still needs a bit of polish, which is why we can’t give you an exact release date just yet. But we’re doing everything we can to keep the wait as short as possible – and of course, we’ll keep you posted!

You’ll be able to choose whether to explore the archipelago and face its challenges solo or together with up to 4 players in cooperative mode.

At the same time, we’ve reworked the base-building system and added an optional modular building mode, giving you more freedom to shape your base the way you want it.

All three building tiers now feature additional modular structures that can be mixed and matched however you like. We’ll continue to add even more modular building pieces, decorative items, and full structures over time.

And last but not least, we’re happy to introduce a brand-new customization feature!

To give you a first impression of the new customization options, we're excited to showcase the brand new country flag patches. These patches can be worn by players on their equipment and clothing - for example on helmets, uniforms or plate carriers and chest rigs.

This is just the first batch of country patches, if you'd like to suggest a country flag that's not on the list yet, feel free to hop on our discord server and post your suggestion!

Here's the full list of currently included flag patches:

As mentioned in our previous update, the awesome folks at Caliber Collective[calibercollective.org] are helping us stress-test Echoes Below – and we’re incredibly grateful for their support. To show our appreciation, we’re introducing their unit patch as an in-game customization option!

We’ll also be adding more patch designs in the future, so you can personalize your character even further.

Several features originally planned for post-launch updates have been moved up and are already being worked on – you’ll see these reflected in our updated roadmap on the store page soon to give you a clearer overview.

Thank you for your patience and continued support – we’re beyond excited to hear what you think!

Have a fantastic week,

– Echo Division-

SITREP #005 – Echoes Below Community Briefing

Jun 4, 2025

Hey Operators

Today we want to reach out to you about something that means a lot to us.

It is with a heavy heart that we’ve decided not to participate in the upcoming Next Fest. The planned demo and the associated workload have simply become too much for us to manage right now. As a two-person team, it’s up to us to constantly evaluate and prioritize where we put our focus and energy. Taking part in the event—and meeting all the content, scope, and presentation requirements—would have forced us to reduce the demo to its bare essentials, scrapping most of the ideas we had originally planned. Honestly, that just didn’t sit right with us or match our vision.

Echoes Below is a pretty ambitious project—and we intend to keep it that way. Trying to compress everything into a thirty-minute demo just wasn’t possible without leaving out essential parts of the experience, and that’s something we couldn’t accept.

On top of all this, we’re also working flat out on the main game, which is where our true focus lies. For the sake of our own health as well, this was an absolutely important and necessary decision that we had to make together, right away. Our idea is to put the time we’ve gained into building out crucial features and mechanics, so we can offer you the best possible gameplay experience without compromising further.
But we’re not only using this time for that—we’re already actively working on something that, let’s just say, will have a huge impact on the game. We’ll share all the details in our next announcement, along with more insights on our current progress.
We hope - and we’re confident - it will be a worthy compensation for you!

Thank you for your understanding and your time. It was important for us to be as transparent and honest with you as possible.

There’s one more thing we’d like to share:

For some time now, we’ve been collaborating with the members of Caliber Collective (CC). Through their playtest program Click here![calibercollective.org] they’ll be putting Echoes Below through its paces, helping us get vital insights on performance, bugs, and more, so we can keep improving. We’re extremely grateful for this opportunity and look forward to everything that lies ahead!

So a big, official thank you from us for all the support and the transparent, enriching collaboration!
If you’re interested, check them out—it’s definitely worth it! Click here![calibercollective.org]
And if you want to connect or find great content, especially in the tactical shooter space, we can highly recommend their Discord server! Click here![discord.gg] You’ll find all the links to their social media platforms on the CC homepage as well.

Wishing you all the best!

Wunsch oder Real / Desire or Real ?

Es sieht verdammt gut aus und auch die Idee ist Mega, vor allem da man als SP-Spieler mit KI (Bots) spielt, die Ich befehlige. Es gibt Fahrzeuge , ich baue meine Basis etc. Kein MP , kein PVP , ICH darf spielen und das ist schon mal super. Noch bin ich aber skeptisch ob die Entwickler das so hinbekommen wie Sie es selber Wünschen , da es schon ziemlich ambitioniert ist. Das Spiel ist definitiv auf meiner Wunschliste und ich hoffe das sich die Entwickler die Zeit nehmen die dieses Spiel braucht. Es gibt...
