Hey everyone,

There have been lots of exciting developments in the past few months, and we are very excited to share our progress with you.

Let’s start with the big news in case you haven't heard it already: We've reached a big milestone earlier this year with a pre-alpha demo of the game! It is currently available for closed testing through our Patreon channel. The feedback we've received so far has been fantastic and we are so happy you seem to be enjoying the game! Since then we have been working hard on it and updated it with new maps, units, UI upgrades and more.

There is still a lot of work to do, and we are maintaining our "when its done" attitude for the game, so no hard release dates just yet!

In the meantime, here is some more stuff we have in the pipeline at the moment - we are doing a lot of work behind the scenes, so here are some screenshots from the game for you to look at:

We start with one of our recent visual updates for the tier 4 resource generator for the Guard faction. We always try to put a lot of effort into making these high tier structures feel appropriately impressive, which can be a challenge.

We've also been looking at our aircraft - adding vapour trails and engine exhausts. It's these details that help bring the units to life and add a bit of extra polish to the game.


We have also been adding units into the game - here are some of them that are being worked on - try guessing what they do!

There is too much to include in this post, so head on over to our discord server[discord.gg] for all the latest news and info.


Looking ahead, our team is putting in a lot of resources towards optimisation and core systems. While this means fewer visible changes in the near future, this is very important groundwork that will make sure that the game runs smoothly, reliably, and can support all of our planned features. We have already made some great progress on many systems, but there is still a lot of work left to do - after all for an RTS like this it’s essential to get all the technology right, not just the shiny explosions.

Thanks for your continued support and patience as we work toward making this game the best it can be. We'll have more updates to share as development progresses.

The very best regards,
The dev team at Enhearten Media

Last year, we showed off our game demo in Australia - it went so well that we are going to do it again! This time at Pax East in March this year! There we will exhibit Sanctuary - and give you a chance to play the demo before everyone else! If you want to see that then be sure to stop by!

But what's more - we will be stopping by GDC 2024 in San Francisco for a couple of days, so you have a chance to meet us there if you are in the area!

Check out the key dates below and we can't wait to see you!

Here is our schedule:
Game Developers Conference 2024
Dates: March 18th to 19th, 2024
Location:Moscone Center, San Francisco

Pax East 2024
Dates: March 21st to 24th, 2024
Location: Boston Convention & Exhibition Center - Booth number 16085

What are you waiting for? Book those tickets now and check us out, tell all of your friends! See the game and meet our team, who will love to answer all of your questions, talk about the game, and just hang out!

If you can't make it to Pax to play the demo - please be patient! We know that everyone is waiting for a demo of the game they can play!

We want to make sure that the game is of a high quality and lives up to your expectations, and we are working hard to make that happen! But as always, these things take time and the last thing we want to do is rush out something half baked. Pax is a chance for us to show you what we have so far without needing to take into consideration various difficulties with deploying games to lots of different PCs and setups. This way, we can show you the game earlier than would be possible otherwise!

We know that it has been a long journey so far, and we are making heaps of progress every day thanks to your support! So thank you so much for believing in us and in Sanctuary!

See you all soon!
