addedSalutations Loopers! We’re excited to bring you some amazing news regarding the NEXT update for L00P New Reality, all packaged in the first of many… The State of the Game! April’s State of the Game’s gonna focus on what’s been going on behind the scenes at Purple Void Studios. Let’s dive in!
changedStarting, we’re moving from Alpha to Beta! While subtle on the outside, this means big things on the inside. We’re trying to polish Act 1 in its entirety and create a more atmospheric, lore-rich game.
changedA notable change we’ve made is swapping the Desktop Environment for a 3D Environment to better suit the game's story. On top of the Desktop Redo, we’ve also overhauled the ENTIRE UI. The previous icons and logos were hard to read and actually understand what you’re looking at. Also, moving away from flat minimalist icons and going for a more gradient and complex UI makes sense for the canon of the game.
addedAnd we’ve even gone the extra mile and added the ability to change the Desktop Background!
changedWe’ve also made a valiant attempt to have a Universal UI Language for both the Desktop OS and the In-Game UI, to create a more coherent structure!
changedThat also includes the text box! Which has received a very nice refresh, fit with a Character Portrait.

Speaking of characters, you may find Dr. Wexler to sound a little different when the Beta Version launches–No further comment.

In other news, the New Reality system is breathed with new life this update, with some atmospheric neighbors joining the main map, and for some reason… yells at you?

That’s all the main content we’ve got to showcase to you this Month. That’s not all, though! We’re still hard at work delivering you new lore and features that’ll be revealed to you in the upcoming months!

So, when can you expect the FULL BETA version to be released? While we originally intended for this release to be a minor polishing update, it has since blossomed into a full-on major update for the game. With that in mind, the Release Date is in the air right now. We’re HOPING for a Summer 2026 release date. The keyword ‘HOPING’ as certain features could take longer than expected.

All in all, that’s all we have to share this month! Check back in next month for the NEXT State of the Game. Who knows what bugs or features will be in next time…
