As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to pause, look back, and say one simple thing first.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Discord, shared feedback, asked tough questions, and followed the development of War Mechanic from the very beginning.

Thank you to everyone who added the game to their wishlist and followed the project on Steam.

Thank you to the entire Chronospace team for your commitment, creativity, and countless hours invested in this project throughout the year.

This year was an important one for War Mechanic.

Over the past months, we shared several devlogs that brought you closer to the game and its core ideas. On Steam, you could follow our progress through:

• Devlog #2 - Guns & Guts

• Devlog #2.5 - Weather of Nordock

• Devlog #3 - All About experience

Each of these updates helped us explain not just what War Mechanic is, but why it works the way it does.

May also mark a very special moment for us. We brought War Mechanic to Digital Dragons in Kraków, where many of you had the chance to play the current version of the game hands-on. Meeting players in person, watching you explore Nordhook, and hearing your thoughts directly was an invaluable experience and a strong validation of the direction we are heading.

One of the biggest moments of the year was our gameplay reveal. Across all platforms and media outlets, it reached millions of views, followed by over 200 publications and articles worldwide. Seeing War Mechanic discussed, analyzed, and shared on such a scale was both surreal and incredibly motivating.

On top of that, we confirmed that War Mechanic will launch not only on Steam, but also on GOG and the Epic Games Store, allowing even more players to join us on Nordhook.

We will not reveal too much just yet.

One of the major steps ahead is our Kickstarter campaign. This will not be just about funding, but about opening the doors wider and giving the community a real opportunity to engage with the production of War Mechanic and help shape its final form.

We are also actively working on a playable demo. We will share it only when we feel it truly represents the quality and experience we want War Mechanic to be known for. When that moment arrives, you can be assured that our community will be invited to participate in playtests and share feedback that genuinely matters.

As we slow things down for a short break, we want to wish you a great end to the year and a strong start to the next one. Whether you spend it with family, friends, or finally playing through that backlog of games, we hope it treats you well.

Thank you for your trust, your patience, and your support. We cannot wait to continue this journey with you in the year ahead.

See you in 2026,

The Chronospace Team

Energy is one of the absolutely core mechanics in War Mechanic. Without it, you won’t expand your base, power your workshop, craft new tools, or complete contracts. Every single action you take inside the base consumes energy. Even placing an automated defense turret requires not only materials, but also the energy needed to build it - and to keep it running afterward.

There are several ways to obtain energy. The most primitive is blasting coal out of the ground, loading it into a cart, and burning it in a massive furnace. Simple and effective, but also time-consuming and far from efficient.

The most powerful way to gather and transport energy, however, is your vehicle. It can carry energy from special relays scattered across the island. It’s a risky operation - these places are usually well-protected, and the road back is often dangerous - but the energy you collect this way is far more durable and significantly more valuable.

Your ride is your fortress. It protects you, lets you haul materials, transport energy, and escape when things get too hot. Neglect it, and you won’t get far. Regular repairs, upgrades, and tuning your vehicle to your playstyle are absolutely essential.

You can build a fast, lightweight machine perfect for scouting – but fragile. Or go for a heavily armored beast that can survive almost anything… at the cost of massive fuel consumption. And walking around the island with a gas canister may very well be the last thing you ever do.

You’ll also be able to install unique vehicle perks that let you access specific areas, complete certain tasks, or simply reshape the way you play.

Contracts are your main source of income. They’re varied, but intentionally straightforward – the goal is for you to decide how to manage your time, energy, and resources.

Smart planning will make you richer, help you expand the base, and unlock new infrastructure that consumes not only materials, but also cash.

The blaster is a technological marvel of these grim times - a tool capable of melting down almost any metal into usable parts. It allows you to repair crucial components of your vehicle during expeditions, often making the difference between survival and failure. It’s also how you extract coal, especially important early in the game when you’re still fighting for a stable energy supply.

“Norton” is the working name of the main computer in your base office - and later, in captured outposts across the island. Through it you can:

• accept contracts

• monitor your task progress

• expand your base and unlock new modules

But that’s not your only management unit. Inside the workshop you’ll find its counterpart - a device that lets you order parts, components, and tools needed for your missions.

There’s also a special machine in the base: throw in a damaged part… and moments later you get it back as good as new. Very few things in Nordhook are this reliable - it’s an invaluable lifeline during intense contract chains.

Nordhook is divided into several distinct regions with increasing difficulty. You’re free to pursue objectives in an open-world fashion or follow the larger storyline that slowly reveals the secrets of every corner of the island.

Capturing a region will usually require a boss fight - an intense encounter where preparation, the right gear, and a solid strategy make all the difference.

Your ultimate goal is to take control of the entire island. And that’s only the beginning. After the main story is complete, we plan to introduce additional challenges crafted for players who enjoy tougher battles and endgame progression.

We touched on this in the previous devlog, but we want to highlight a few key points. You’ll find several weapon types in the game, each distinct enough to fit a different playstyle or counter specific enemy types. Weapons can also be modified.

Enemies will often operate in groups. Some hordes will focus on attacking your vehicle directly, while smaller squads will be more diverse in behavior.

At the end of many challenges, a boss will be waiting - a demanding opponent with both weaknesses and strengths you’ll have to identify and exploit.
