Carrier Command 2 News

Dear Players,

Today we release v1.0.18. Please see the change notes below for a full list of changes.

While our day-to-day and week-to-week updates have been entirely focused on quality improvements and fixes, we are planning to release new features in larger feature updates, and have already been working on new features for Carrier Command.

Initially, these features will probably focus on important reworks and updates to existing systems rather than adding new systems or components. In particular, we are interested in looking at the inventory system and barges which players have given us a lot of feedback on, as well as general game balance.

We have also been in conversations with CC2 modders and are discussing integrating some of the best mod content into the base game as well as how we can best support further modding for the future. We have already been updating the moddable APIs in these regular updates to help modders do more. We are trying to have these conversations on the public issue tracker so it is transparent and open to all players. Feel free to read what is going on and even get involved in the conversations!

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this new update!

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers

Dear Players,

Today we release v1.0.17. Please see the change notes below for a full list of changes.

We have been working hard on fixes and improvements and have been updating the game at least twice a week. Usually we post the new version with "small update / change-notes" type community post which doesn't show up on the store page, but you can see all the change notes on the news tab in the games community.

Many thanks to all the players who reported these bugs that we have fixed on the official issue tracker. You can access this site using the in-game "report a bug / feature" button.

Today we are also launching the store page for Stormworks: Search & Destroy. Stormworks is another game made by our studio. Check it out here.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on this new update!

Much love
The Carrier Command Developers
