One Week Until Launch!

In a mere seven days, BOXROOM will be launching into Early Access here on Steam.

On Tuesday 26th at 4pm BST / 11am EDT / 8 am PDT / 5 pm CEST - you can begin the wonderful process or organising and displaying your games, then sharing your room with the world.

To use a slightly contrived bit of language: launch is only the beginning, though. We have much in store for you. Each Update in Early Access will bring with it new items and furnishings, which we're grouping into buckets or themes. We launch with 230 odd items, but that number is very rapidly going to get bigger.

For launch, the theme we've dialled into is Nineties Nostalgia. Chunky CRT screens. Beanbags. Decor that harkens back to the bedrooms of our childhoods. I say 'our' as if everybody shares my age. But you've seen stranger things. You get the gist.

The themes that follow have yet to be revealed, but I can tell you that they are each wildly different, and will allow you to put a stamp on your libraries and collections in vastly different ways.

What else can I tell you 7 days out from launch? WELL. BOXROOM will launch into Early Access with a Photo Mode. Not sure we've mentioned that here yet. This too will see new features and iteration as the game is worked on, but - after the demo - we realised that showing your room in the best light, with the best angles, was really key to the experience. And so we whacked a Photo Mode in there. Why not. Expect more features and functionality added to the camera here over time, but we hope it allows you to show off your rooms more elegantly.

There's other stuff to talk about, but there's still a week to go. Let's leave it there for now.
