- More than 5000 copies sold! - 10 March 2026
Hi everyone,It has been a little while since my last post!I wanted to thank you all because we reached 5,000 copies sold in the last month! We are selling around one copy each day now. Five years ago, I would never have imagined reaching 5,000 copies — not even 1,000! So I'm very grateful to everyone who bought the game.I also never thought we would reach 50 reviews, yet we have been sitting at 76 reviews for a few months now. It would be awesome to reach 100 reviews. I know it's a big gap, but reaching 80 would already make my day!Since Christmas, I have published a few updates based on your feedback. Here are the changes made:Added tips on the loading screen to help beginners and explain specific features (for some scenarios)Slightly updated the probabilities for ship infection and right/wrong flags, numbers, and namesTsar Architect event now upgrades the building if it is already con…

- Big update 6 : The Sommelier (v1.2) is here! - 28 October 2025
Hi everyone!Here are the patch notes for the update called The Sommelier! Since this update changes a lot of things in the game and introduces a French translation, I ask you to be kind regarding any bugs or translation issues (which you can report in the Steam discussions under a post called “Problème de traduction”).For bugs, you can report them under this post or in the BUGS post in the Steam discussions, and we will fix them as soon as we can!

- Big update 6 : The Sommelier (v1.2) is coming on the 28th of October! - 13 October 2025
Hi everyone, We have some big news to share today! I’ll be showcasing some of the new content and features coming in the next big update: The Sommelier! Without further ado, let’s get started!French translationSo the first thing I want to talk about today is one of the biggest projects we’ve worked on in the game: translating it into French. Along with choosing your temperature unit in the settings, you can now change the language. Translating the game was not an easy task, since there’s a lot of text everywhere. Moreover, sentences in French tend to be a bit longer, which made some translations and UI adjustments challenging.Winemaker scenarioAlong with the French translation, we could not resist adding a new scenario which tasks you with producing the best wine in the world! To do so, you need to find an optimal value for each of the options. Each time you restart the scenario, the gr…

- What's next? - 26 August 2024
Hi everyone, Firstly, thank you all! We have sold more than 2,000 copies (with a peak of 65 concurrent players)! However, we still have only 21 reviews (less than 1 person out of 100) with four of which were made just a few days ago. So, if you like the game (or even if you don’t), please consider leaving a review. It helps a lot with both visibility and morale!

- Release date of the 1.0 - 3 August 2024

- Big update 4 : The Eternal Winter (v1.0) is coming soon! - 30 May 2024
Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce the biggest update (again!?) for the game! It will be released in July (we will share the date later). We are sorry for the delay since our last update. It's called The Eternal Winter, and it is currently the last planned major update of the game! This means that it will mark the end of the early access phase! A friendly reminder for the ones out there that didn't buy the game yet, the price will increase by 1$ (from 7$ to 8$). Seasons and Siberia scenario First, we added a new scenario called Siberia which you guessed it takes place in Siberia. Since it is a pretty isolated and cold place, ships are rarer than on the other scenarios. The temperature is very low (we will talk about it later), making it very difficult to survive! To counter that, we added a special building called the Expedition camp. From which you can send an expedition to certains lo…
