2023 Wrap Up

As the year slowly comes to an end, I wanted to give you guys sort of a state of dev update. We were hoping to release one more update this year but we ran into some hurdles The upcoming update is going to focus almost solely on improving performance and the quest systems and its taking a lot longer than we expected. We really want to get it right since the next update after that is going to be the first chapter of the NEW ISLAND And when that launches, its going to be like a second release for the game so we really want to take care of anything that could seriously hurt it. So right now, the technical side of the team is going deep on all the stuff thats causing the performance to nose-dive like a drillship before an eruption... And in their spare time, they are working on improvements to the quest system. (We also got 2 new programmers on board to help with this) Meanwhile, the artist team is hammering away at the new island getting ready as much as possible. Currently, our estimate is that the performance/tutorial update will be released sometime in Q1 next year. And then its going to be full steam ahead at the first chapter of the new island! And to prove that were not pulling a Day Before on yall, here are some fresh teasers: (As always, keep in mind that everything you see is a work in progress and that if something looks like a placeholder, it probably is) [previewyoutube=MPYosfjQelc;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=AaXIPVHOaVI;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=10Kmg9CCtn4;full][/previewyoutube] Alright everyone, thank you so much for your patience and support, have amazing holidays, and I will see you all in 2024! - Rich

Volcanoids Linux [2.22 G]

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.

MOBILE BASE

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.

DEADLY ENVIRONMENT

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.

MECHANICAL MENACE

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.

BASE MANAGEMENT

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.
