Hey everyone!

Almost a year ago Settlement Survival released into Early Access and since that time, we've taken great strides to improve the game, react to community feedback and scale our development team to meet your needs.

Since its release the game has received dozens of updates, sweeping changes and a huge range of improvements. We wanted to thank everyone who has not only been on this journey with us, but also taken the time to provide feedback to help improve all areas of Settlement Survival.

As the scope of our game has increased, so has our long-term goals and team size to meet those needs. With that in mind, we wanted to let our community know as early as possible that as we march towards our 1.0 launch later this year. Settlement Survival will have more reasonable system and new UI.

And, do you still remember “price change” thing we talk about in last Devlog? It will happen in few days. The price of Settlement Survival will be slightly increasing soon.


While we've not yet fixed our price, it's incredibly important for us to let those of you who've wishlisted or have been following the game to know about this change as early as possible. Don't worry, it won't be by a huge amount, but if you're on the fence about buying Settlement Survival, when it arrives in 1.0 it won't be cheaper than it is now.

We wanted to thank you all again for all of you who bought into Settlement Survival early to allow us to continue develop the game how we and you want it.
