Friday Blog 221 - The Beta is Starting Right Now!
Finally, the day we've been looking forward to for so long has arrived! Were starting the 0.9.0 Beta Program today.
The Beta is going to be a process with multiple stages. Were constantly adding new content and tweaks, and we want to continuously add fresh testers to see how the game is functioning for a first-time player at that moment.
The current beta version is still work-in-progress, and not everything is properly explained or polished. The first testers need to be experienced enough to handle that. For that first group, were going to be quite selective. Were looking for people who are serious and who are great communicators.
As the Beta Program continues and the beta version gets updated and improved, were going to add larger and larger groups of testers. Eventually, every application that meets the minimum requirements will be approved.
Here is how to apply:
A.) Join our Discord server
B.) Go to the #beta-applications channel in the Welcome category
C.) Post a message that answers the questions below. Remember, we care a lot more about honesty and communication skills than high numbers! The goal of the Beta is finding useful criticism, not flattery ;)
[olist] Since what moment (year or update), roughly, have you played Colony Survival? Since release, since update 0.4.0, since 2019?
How many hours of play time do you have on Steam?
Roughly how many colonists does your biggest colony have?
Name one of your favourite gameplay mechanics in a game that is not Colony Survival, and explain why you like it.
Name a big frustration youve encountered in any video game, and explain why it bothers you.
Which skills/experiences/personality traits of yours make you especially suited to be a beta tester for 0.9.0?[/olist]
D.) Wait until youre granted the 090 Tester role
E.) Once youve received it, youll be able to see #test-instructions in the Perpetual Testing Initiative category. That channel contains all the information you need to download the beta branch and start testing!
Thanks a lot, and good luck :D
RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Build your own village, castle or city and populate it with colonists! Let guards, farmers, miners, foresters, bakers, smelters and artisans work for you. After the sun has set, most colonists will go to bed, but the enemy awakens. A horde of monsters will assault your colony and try to slaughter you and your villagers. Defend your colony with walls, moats and guards!
- Multiplayer support: play with friends and strangers!
- Advanced pathfinding: colonists and zombies will find their way in the world you've build. They will dynamically navigate stairs, bridges and tunnels.
- Explore a world with realistically placed biomes. A giant jungle in the center of the world, surrounded by savannas, deserts and temperate biomes. Two polar regions in the far north and south.

- Dynamic lighting and eye adaptation
- Voice your suggestions and be part of the development of Colony Survival!
