  • Weekly NEStalgia News Updates

    One of my big struggles this past year has been in communicating my development progress (and for many months last summer/fall, the lack thereof). Especially when it comes to the Key of the Exiles content expansion, I’ve felt self conscious posting previews etc. in the face of so many delays. My reasoning has been that long […]

  • NEStalgia v1.68.8 + Savefile Transfers

    The NEStalgia v1.68.8 update is now live, and simply contains a few minor bug fixes related to the recent server and savefile merges. With those bugs out of the way, we are finally able to start accepting savefile transfer requests for players on the official servers. In order to request a savefile transfer, please visit the […]

  • December 2014 Server Merge Information

    Hey everyone! If you’re logging into the game after an extended absence, you may find that the official server you once played on no longer exists. We try to add and remove official NEStalgia servers according to the ebb and flow of demand (usually determined by big updates and Steam sales) in order to ensure […]

  • NEStalgia Humble Bundle Sale, Plus Other News!

    We knew that the Steam launch would be a big deal, but seeing it actually happen back in April was pretty incredible. The crazy part for me personally was that in the opening days of the Steam release I was in the hospital with my wife as she gave birth to our first baby. The […]

  • NEStalgia Pre-Steam Fundraiser

    Amid all of the craziness of trying to get the game ready for Steam, one of the road blocks that I’m currently running into is a shortage of available funds for development. Part of that stems from putting aside projects that actually pay the bills in order to work on NEStalgia (which doesn’t yet pay the bills)… […]

  • NEStalgia Has Been Greenlit… So What Now?

    It’s hard to believe that it’s been exactly one year since NEStalgia went up on Steam Greenlight. It’s even harder to believe that it’s also been about a year since development of the game was inadvertently put on “pause” after I started a new job. By sheer coincidence, I wrapped up that job this past […]

  • NEStalgia targets Steam Greenlight

    I know that many of you read Valve’s announcement for Steam Greenlight back in July because I was bombarded with emails from players telling me that I should put NEStalgia on it. For those of you who haven’t heard, Steam Greenlight is forthcoming system that will allow Steam community members to pick the next indie […]

  • Companion Update (v1.63) Release Date Announcement

    The highly anticipated v1.63 update will go live next Friday, April 20th. If you’re unfamiliar with this update then check out our previous coverage of v1.63 for details: Companion Basics (starts third paragraph down) Reputation and Recruiting Companions With over 100 recruitable companions, the amount of diversity in v1.63 is ridiculous. No two companions are the same, […]

  • Servers Upgraded and Back Online (Again!)

    Although our attacker was not successful in actually bringing down our servers or causing an interruption of service, he did succeed in scaring off our host who shut down our VPS without warning and didn’t respond to my emails/phone calls for about 36 hours. Our host had advertised protection against that type of thing, but […]
