Combat Update Release Date
First things first, hope y'all got through this year and kept your sanity. Secondly, thank you so much for being patient with us this whole time. This update is taking super long. Much much longer than we expected but I got some good news for you. The estimated release of the Combat Update is mid-January 2021. HOWEVER, as we do realize that the update is taking too damn long already, it is possible to play it right now!
The Combat Update is available on the Preview Branch and you can play it right now! Just keep in mind that this is a testing branch so not everything is going to be working optimally yet.
The Preview Branch is where we will post upcoming updates (like this one) before they get officially released on the Main Branch so you can help us test the new features if you want to.
It's really simple actually, here's how:
don't make fun of my humble Steam library
You might find your answer in the frequently asked questions here. If not feel free to ask below.
We basically reworked combat from the ground up since it was the weakest point of the game. Bullet drop, recoil, aiming down sights, better sound effects, and much more have been added to make combat more immersive and fun.
A lot of you requested something for long-range as well as something light with a high fire rate. So check out the brand new sniper rifle and SMG!
New visuals, weapons, voices, sound effects, and behavior. The only thing we didn't change is their name.
You will be able to secure your precious base with 6 different types of turrets.
Armor up with 3 different types of armor.
Last but not least, the ability to armor up, heal, and even revive crewmates is also coming.
You can find the full patch notes on the "Preview Branch" forum here.
The current plan is to polish the Combat Update during the holidays based on your feedback from the Preview Branch. And if things don't completely fall apart, the official release of the Combat Update will be mid-January 2021. That being said, the team and I would like to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Your support this year was nothing short of amazing and as we often say in our private dev group (to keep y'all humble), you are the best community we could ever ask for. ~ Rich and the other weirdos Join the community on Discord Follow us on Twitter and/or Instagram for more sneak peeks and updates https://store.steampowered.com/app/951440/Volcanoids/

Set in the steampunk era, you take on an expedition to a forsaken island that you once called home. But sudden eruptions triggered by mechanical beings turned the wondrous place into an apocalyptic wasteland. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, you have to outsmart these creatures and capture one of their drillships. Use their own technology against them as you upgrade the machinery and reclaim your homeland.
Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is one of a kind base capable of joining you on every journey.
Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.
Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.
Customize your drillship from the inside out with colors, symbols, gadgets and more. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.
