Hello Colonizers!

As You know, the game is coming on Monday to Early Access.
This is a huge milestone for us, but obviously is just a beginning of the journey!



In the roadmap, you can quickly check what features are planned in the upcoming months!

[h2]LINUX & MAC[/h2]
The first important update will be dedicated to finalizing versions for Mac and Linux.
I've been testing them, but I want to deliver the best experience possible, without cutting any features or sacrificing visuals!

Tests for playable version will be shared on Discord soon, so please join and check channels:

• iOS
• Linux

[h2]Dedicated servers[/h2]
To improve multiplayer experience, dedicated servers will be provided to guarantee stability of the gameplay.

[h2]3+ players[/h2]
Two players mode is currently the most enjoyable and stable configuration. This update will improve greatly, 3 and more players mode!

[h2]Controller support + Steam Deck[/h2]
The game allows already to use controller for navigation. This update will bring controller support to another level, detecting both PS and XBox controllers and adding needed features for a great Steam Deck experience.

[h2]Next big updates[/h2]
The vision for the game is including more exciting features in Q1 and Q2 2023 including planets terraforming and detailed customization of the space station.

Please stay tuned and have faith in Astro Colony!
