‘puzzlez – a shapez game’ Announced by Developer tobspr Games

Indie developer tobspr Games has announced puzzlez – a shapez game, a standalone puzzle game based on the acclaimed shapez series, coming to Steam in 2027. In puzzlez – a shapez game, you construct shapes inside of handcrafted 3D dioramas to solve optimization-based puzzleboxes that progress from simple production chains to multi-floor logistical problems involving shapes and fluids. You can also use an in-built puzzle editor to craft and share your own puzzles with the community. Puzzlez welcomes puzzle fans of every kind, whether they’re seasoned puzzlers or new to the genre.

Check out the Announcement Trailer here

Based on the popular factory building automation games shapez and shapez 2, which have sold over 2 million copies combined, puzzlez – a shapez game is a pick-up-and-play puzzle game about building shapes in compact 3D spaces. On developing a puzzle game, Tobias Springer, Founder at tobspr Games, said “We set out to create a standalone successor to the puzzle DLC for the original shapez, so puzzlez began life as a planned DLC for shapez 2. However, we realized that this would require players to own the full shapez 2 game just to experience something we’d designed to stand on its own, so we decided that since releasing it as a separate title doesn’t change the price and would give us far more creative freedom, we’d make puzzlez its own game. Our aim is to grow puzzlez into a series itself and I think the gameplay will be quite intriguing to shapez fans and puzzle game enthusiasts.”

Key Features

  • Over 75 handcrafted 3D automation and logic puzzles.
  • Puzzles ranging from simple problems to complex brain-twisters.
  • Compact and atmospheric 3D visuals and a relaxing soundscape.
  • Solve puzzles your way, track how well you did, and compare with others.
  • Design, create and share your own puzzles using the built-in puzzle editor.
  • Discover and play an ever-growing in-game library of community-made puzzles.

puzzlez – a shapez game is coming to Steam in 2027. Stay up to date by visiting the official tobspr Games website and following the studio on X, Bluesky, Tiktok, and YouTube. 

About tobspr Games

tobspr Games is an independent studio based in Germany, founded in 2018. Focused on delivering and publishing the best factory game experiences, the studio is best known for the shapez franchise, which has sold more than 2 million copies across Steam and mobile.

Roguelike Base-Building Auto-Battler ‘Packed Lair’ Launching On Steam September 22nd

Mystic Forge and indie developer Fables of Wits are excited to announce that roguelike base-building auto-battler Packed Lair will launch on PC via Steam on September 22, 2026.

In Packed Lair, you take on the role of an evil lord with a serious problem: heroes keep invading their lair. Unfortunately, there’s also a second problem – the lair is really, really cramped.

Watch the Official Release Date Trailer Here

You must carefully draft, rotate, and arrange buildings within their limited space, using clever positioning to create powerful synergies, generate resources, and build an increasingly formidable army of monsters. Once the lair is packed and the army is ready, it’s time to let the minions loose and watch them battle waves of invading heroes.

But while the minions handle the fighting, the evil lord isn’t completely powerless. Players can cast spells during battles, giving them a chance to influence the chaos, turn the tide of a fight, and rescue an otherwise doomed strategy.

Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/3489680/Packed_Lair
​Press Contact: vernon@mysticforge.com – Interviews welcome!

About the Game

Part spatial puzzle, part base builder, and part roguelike auto-battler, Packed Lair is built around the simple satisfaction of making every piece of limited space count. Across each run, players can unlock new buildings, discover new combinations, expand their lair, and experiment with different ways to turn a cramped underground hideout into a highly efficient monster-making machine.

Key Features

  • Pack Your Lair – Draft, rotate, and carefully position buildings within your cramped lair. Every tile is valuable, and smart placement can unlock powerful combinations.
  • Build Your Monster Army – Turn your carefully arranged buildings into an army of minions. Discover ways to generate, improve, and scale your forces before sending them into battle.
  • Let the Heroes Come – Face waves of invading heroes and watch your army clash with them in chaotic auto-battler combat.
  • Cast Spells, Cause Chaos – Your minions may fight automatically, but you can still influence the battlefield with spells. Time them carefully to give your army the edge it needs.
  • Build, Fight, Adapt, Repeat – Each roguelike run offers new opportunities to experiment with your lair. Unlock new buildings, discover new synergies, expand your options, and find new ways to optimize your evil empire.
  • Stop Saving the Kingdom – Forget being the hero. Your job is to protect your lair from the heroes who keep trying to break into it.

Players can play the new demo and wishlist Packed Lair on Steam ahead of the September 22nd launch and follow the game’s development for the latest news, updates, and future content.

Shipbuilding Sandbox ‘ShipShaper’ Sailing into Early Access Today

 Indie publisher Wired Productions and BAFTA-nominated solo developer Tomas Sala are excited to  announce that ShipShaper launches today into Steam Early Access. The creative shipbuilding sandbox invites players to build, shape and sail extraordinary vessels across the waters of the Great Ursee.  

The launch celebrates the next chapter in Wired Productions and Tomas Sala’s long-standing partnership, following the The Falconeer and Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, with the pair recently signing a new seven-year publishing agreement. The deal gives Tomas the freedom to keep exploring the Falconeer universe, alongside whatever weird, wonderful and unexpected ideas come next. Wired will be right there with him for the journey. 

Watch the launch trailer here

ShipShaper is built around one beautifully simple idea: designing ships should feel good. At the helm, Tomas Sala is doing what he does best: taking a deeply personal creative obsession and turning it into an invitation for everyone else to create something of their own. There is no combat, management or prescribed way to build. No intimidating 3D tools, rigid grids or correct answers. You simply pull, push, bend and shape forms into fishing vessels, tall ships, ironclads, submarines or glorious nautical creations no sensible shipyard would ever approve. 

Once a vessel is ready to leave the shipyard, you can admire it bobbing on the horizon, place it inside a bottle or handcrafted diorama, export it into Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles or take the complete 3D model into another creative project. Models can also be exported and prepared for 3D printing using external software, depending on the design and printing method.

 

ShipShaper’s free commercial licence allows developers, modders, makers and other creators to use their designs in personal and commercial projects. Models are already appearing in small independent games.  

Early Access features include: 

  • Free-form building 
  • Sailing! 
  • Responsive shaping 
  • Expanding library of details and props, for example historical guns 
  • Steam Workshop integration 
  • Export FBX 3d files with a license to use how you see fit 
  • Export to Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles 

“Sometimes we all imagine our own Fortress with our mind’s eye, I made a game for that already. I thought it was time we had a tool to imagine a Flagship to go with that.” said Tomas Sala, creator of ShipShaper. “I’ve been moving closer and closer to trying to reproduce the things I enjoy, that give me that natural high of creativity, making 3D ships is something that brings a lot of that together. Deconstructing my own process and tools and distilling them into something that’s enjoyable in an explorative and creative way, but with sails and naval artillery tacked on.” 

Leo Zullo, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Wired Productions, said: 
“ShipShaper is Tomas at his best: creative, unpredictable and unlike anything else out there. Early Access puts it where it belongs: in players’ hands, letting them build, experiment and help shape what comes next. We’ve backed Tomas since The Falconeer, and we’re not stopping anytime soon. Today, though, it’s simple: ShipShaper is out. Go build something brilliant.” 

ShipShaper is out now in Early Access on Steam for $8.99, with a 10% launch discount available for a limited time. 

Build it. Shape it. Sail it.

Kitchen Tidy is the latest project from NewGen, an independent game studio developing and publishing original games across multiple genres.

A Distinct Future. A Great Legacy.

Chris Jones Gaming outgrew one address.

For years the same site tried to do two jobs: post what was coming out this week, and hold twenty years of Star Trek and Ultimate Universe work. Both mattered. They just stopped fitting in the same drawer.

So the history has a house, and the news desk has a house.

The history sits on chrisjonesgaming.net

That’s where The Ultimate Universe lives – the Star Trek: Legacy mod, the Ultimate Borg, the early team, the old forum, our own video site, and the years that started in 2006. If you came for that world, go there. It’s the museum on purpose. Daily headlines won’t bury it.

The Right Timing is there too. It’s the starship-set prequel to Stellar Bonds, and it belongs with the older ships-and-crews era, not with today’s launch list.

This site is the desk

chrisjonesgaming.com is where the feed runs now. New games. Trailers. Release dates. Indie work. …and Stellar Bonds – the current AI project. That’s a now-project. It stays here.

Indie is not filler on this site. A two-person team can still ship a game a big publisher would sand the edges off. Steam, Switch, and Game Pass made those games easy to find; players did the rest. That’s why indie titles keep turning up in Game of the Year talk. Not because they’re small. Because somebody made that game.

If you showed up for what’s shipping, you’re already on the right domain.

The split, short version

  • chrisjonesgaming.net – Star Trek, Ultimate Universe, The Right Timing, the archive
  • chrisjonesgaming.com – current gaming news, Stellar Bonds, new projects

Old news links on .net redirect here so bookmarks don’t die. The picture stays. The map changed

Thanks for reading this site for as long as you have. The newsroom is still open. The archive finally has a front door of its own.

Third-Person Action-Adventure Game “Usual June” Set To Release October 28th

FINJI, the award winning development studio behind Overland and Canabalt, and publisher of TUNIC, Night in the Woods, has announced that Usual June will launch October 28th, 2026 on PC via Steam. To celebrate the news, a new trailer has been released at the Awesome Indies Showcase powered by IGN at Gamescom.

Usual June is a third-person action-adventure game where players can fight monsters, talk to ghosts, and most importantly get to the bottom of a mystery threatening to obliterate an entire city.

Players will get to explore unique locations such as secret labs, buried tunnels, haunted observatories, abandoned train stations, and a beautiful but mysterious other world. Players will dive into arenas with fast, fluid, and expressive combat. While being able to dash, use super moves, dodge and parry, players will have to adapt to enemies and change June’s fighting style by equipping items and customizing loadout. As players get more XP and level up, they will gain access to new powers, but these powers come with a cost they will have to discover on their own. As neither the living nor the dead can save this city on their own, players will get to talk to a colourful cast of 25 characters to get to the bottom of what is happening in Fen Harbor. Use the photographic memories of the dead and the living’s ability to touch things to find out what is happening before all the ghosts disappear and time runs out.

Developed by the FINJI team, Usual June is led by Creative Director Adam Saltsman (Overland, Canabalt), and produced in collaboration with Writer David Pinckney (Needle & Thread), BAFTA winning writer Cara Ellison (Ghost Town, The Seance of Blake Manor) and BAFTA winning audio director Adam Hay (Dreams, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture).

Usual June will be launching October 28th, 2026 on PC and Mac via Steam. In the meantime, players can wishlist the game on Steam, play the demo, and stay alert for news on FINJI’s website, Bluesky or instagram.

FINJI is an award-winning game studio founded by Adam and Rebekah Saltsman in 2006, and currently working on Usual June. You may know them from past titles including Overland and Canabalt, and publishing projects like TUNIC, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Night in the Woods and many more.
