- A Developer Update on Early Access - 17 July 2026
Hello,I have been carefully reviewing the feedback, bug reports, and criticism shared since the Early Access launch of Colonies of The Remnant.I understand that the game in its current state has not met the expectations of many players. There is significant work to be done regarding performance, gameplay systems, user interface, balancing, and mechanics that are not explained clearly enough.Rather than addressing these issues only through minor fixes, I have started re-evaluating the systems that require more substantial improvements.Throughout Early Access, bug fixes, performance improvements, and gameplay updates will be released regularly. Balance, interface, and core systems will be improved based on player feedback, and parts of the game that are not working well enough will be reworked where necessary.My current priority is to address the reported critical issues one by one and st…

- Rome Rises - Beyond Known Frontlines - 21 April 2026
Hello Survivors,The world didn’t collapse overnight.It began with Catxone, a virus created to cure cancer. It spread faster than anyone could contain and what once seemed like a breakthrough quickly turned into something far worse.Now the world is fractured and survival is no longer enough on its own. What comes next is about pushing further, taking control and deciding how far you’re willing to go.👉 A first look at Rome RomeWe’ve started working toward bringing Rome into the game and this is something we’re genuinely excited about.At the same time, we’ve also begun working on the Rome map itself. We’re currently exploring the right scale for it. It needs to be large enough to support open world gameplay while still feeling dense and structured. The exact size isn’t locked yet but we’re actively shaping the layout and how the city will play.As you progress, you begin picking up fragmen…

- Demo Version 1.1 and Leaving Beta Test - 15 October 2024
Hello everyone! As you know, we previously released a short demo for playtesting purposes. We have added various updates to this demo, but we have decided to remove version 1.1 from release on October 17, 2024. Our reasons are as follows: -As we mentioned earlier on our forums and Discord channel, the decision to release the demo was made at the last minute. Cutting a small piece from the whole is definitely not recommended, and it brought along various bugs. -Although the concept remains the same, the isometric map features more functional mechanics, physics, and visuals. However, these elements did not reflect as we intended in the demo. -The demo did not provide sufficient information about key functions such as simulation, base building, survival elements, and relationships with colonies, which are the focal points of our game. -Performance issues, including frame rate drops on low-…
