With the start of the Autumn Sale, nominations for this years Steam Awards are underway and wed like to ask for your support by nominating Empires of the Undergrowth for the Labor of Love Award.



In the years since Early Access release, weve continued to improve Empires of the Undergrowth with huge, game-expanding updates - but were not done yet. We know all too well that our tiny team takes their time on the major updates, but we do that in the name of quality - and your kindness in supporting that allows us to take a considered approach. We couldnt be more grateful, so this isnt just our labor of love - its yours too!

Over the past year, weve been working on the following:

• A whole bunch of changes to custom games, including Skirmish - a new way to play freeplay maps.
  
• More up-to-date artwork for the beach and rotting log levels, bringing them in line with the visual fidelity of the more recent parts of the game - our aim is not just to finish the game, but have it be at its best possible quality too.
  
• Extended the climbing system to many more creatures in the game, really helping us settle into the skin-crawling feeling of ants crawling over everything!
  
• Working towards completing the systems and artwork for our final release, tier 5 which will feature 3 new campaign levels set in an as-yet unrevealed location. Then a final climactic formicarium challenge which the scientist has been preparing your colony for!
  
• Bug fixes (ha!)
  
• And many more updates!
