The Iron Village Demo is up on Steam now! I know the demo has been up for awhile now, and it's not a full release on Steam yet, but this is still a pretty huge milestone for me, IMO. I'm really hoping some catastrophic bug hasn't snuck in, waiting to pop out - I did test this pretty well, but of course there's some anxiety around launching on a bigger platform.

Anyway, here's the release notes since 0.6.00:

• Added Steam integration
  • Basically just logs in and can show your friends what you're playing.
• Added a debug menu accessible via Shift-Ctrl-C
  • Basically just to make things easier for me, don't expect it to be 100% supported. Still, here's your prize for actually reading these :)
• Tileable buildings can now have an override texture.
  • This makes it so roads can cross railroad tracks without weird visual glitches.
• Added controller support
  • Confirmed to work with an XBox controller or Steam Deck, anything else will probably work, but the button prompts could be off.
• Added a new texture when a button is in focus
  • "In focus" is an additional button state - whereas having a mouse cursor over a button is "hovering", "in focus" just indicates that the controller was last at that button. It's a more passive state.
• Added a button in the menu to wishlist the game
  • The hustle never stops!
• A whole bunch of work for progression level 3
  • This will be revealed later, but it's not available in the demo regardless.
• Added the ability to hold Shift to keep building after placing a building
• Paved roads now require stone, and unlock in progression level 2.
• Boxcar doors now open while at the station, and close on departure.
• Custom boxcar graphics on a per-freight basis
  • Now there's some actual variety to the boxcars based on what goods they contain
• Added sound effects when chopping down trees
• Added new music
• When loading a save, the game resumes from the beginning of the last music track it was playing.
• Added more hair colors
  • Not just realistic "natural" colors anymore.
• The Pride Train makes a return!
  • It now comes up as a potential freight train in level 2.
• The game now has an icon for itself, not just the company logo.
• Added a Portuguese (Brasil) translation, thanks to Thiago Mania
• Tweaked the Build Panel to actually fit the translations
• Right clicking will close build mode
• Screen resolution scaling logic has been adjusted
  • It's not so over sized on the Steam Deck anymore
• Added sounds when villagers are actively farming
• Many other buildings now also have sound effects
• The main menu now has art!
• When available, the Steam on screen keyboard will be used
• Added a Spanish translation
• Adjusted the railway status button to be two lines, better handling localisation
• The cost of a building now shows up near the cursor while building it
• Removed beer, added flour and an animated windmill
  • See Diary #25 for more of an explanation.
• Fixed a nasty bug with multi-tile workplaces where nobody could work at them after loading a save.
  • Nobody wants to work anymore!
