Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game News

The first major update is now live. It adds many ‘quality of life’ improvements requested by the players:

• Customizable difficulty (for players who thought that playing on Underdog was too hard and playing on Hero mode was too easy)

• Follow and focus camera options
  
• Walking/running toggle
  
• Different inventory grid options
  
• Chapter ending slides
  
• Improved font readability (work in progress)
  
• Improved the help screen
  
• When leaving the Pit and the Habitat, listed quests that will be auto-resolved, giving you a chance to go back and finish them
  
• When fixing Romeo, listed the missing parts
  
• Numerous minor improvements, balance changes, and fixes.

The Steam Awards nominations are now underway and with so many people enjoying the setting and the story, we'd like to ask you to consider nominating Colony Ship for this prestigious award if you think it deserves more exposure.

We've received a lot of support and encouragement since release, more than we thought we would. It's humbling and overwhelming and we'll continue improving the game to deliver the best possible experience for you.

We’d like to thank everyone for the fantastic reception and support. It really is amazing to see so many people enjoying the game we worked on for so long.
