SeaColony — 2026 Early Access Roadmap 🌊 Here’s what I’m working on for SeaColony in 2026. Current State — Early Access v0.5 SeaColony is now in Early Access v0.5. You can build and expand your floating colony, grow food, fish, manage resources, produce water and energy, research
Here’s what I’m working on for SeaColony in 2026.
SeaColony is now in Early Access v0.5.
You can build and expand your floating colony, grow food, fish, manage resources, produce water and energy, research new technologies and take care of your colonists.
With that foundation in place, I’m happy to share a clearer look at what I’m working on for the rest of 2026. As a solo developer, I’m keeping this roadmap focused on the features that are currently planned and in development.
The updates below represent the major milestones currently planned for SeaColony. Each milestone will introduce new buildings or gameplay systems, while existing systems continue to be improved. These headline features are not the full extent of each update; many additional buildings and other content will also be added as development continues. Smaller bug fixes, balance changes and quality-of-life improvements will also be released separately and regularly throughout Early Access.
This update will introduce a new Tailor’s Workshop, where you can process textile materials and craft hats for your colonists.
Hats will include seasonal and role-based options, giving colonists more visual identity while keeping the system focused on headwear.
Target: September 2026
This update will introduce chickens, sheep and goats to SeaColony.
Animals will provide new resources, including eggs, milk, meat and wool. Wool from sheep can also be used as a textile material for hat production.
Target: October–November 2026
Sandbox Mode is planned as an interim update rather than something reserved for the full release.
It will provide a more open-ended way to build and experiment with your floating colony.
Planned for 2026 — exact timing to be announced.
A future 2026 update will also introduce new marine hazards and events at sea, including shark sightings and encounters.
These events can disrupt fishing, put colonists at risk and affect daily colony routines. You will need to recognize the danger, protect your colony and decide how to respond.
More details will be shared as the system develops.
The dates shown here are target windows and may change as development continues. This roadmap reflects the current direction of SeaColony, and further details will be shared as each feature gets closer to release.
Thank you to everyone who has added SeaColony to their wishlist, supported the Early Access launch, shared feedback or followed the game’s development.
Your support and feedback have been a huge part of SeaColony’s development, and I’m excited to continue improving and expanding the game throughout Early Access.
See you out on the open sea! 🌊

SeaColony is officially available now in Early Access!
Build and expand your colony on the open sea, manage your colonists, produce resources, research new technologies, trade with passing ships, and survive the challenges that come your way.
Please keep in mind that SeaColony is still in active development. This Early Access release represents the beginning of the journey, not the final version of the game.
You may encounter bugs, balance issues, rough edges, or systems that still need improvement while playing. I’ll continue working on fixes, balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and new content throughout Early Access.
Your feedback will be extremely valuable during this process. If you encounter a bug, notice something that feels unbalanced, or simply have an idea that could improve the game, please share it with me.
The more feedback I receive, the faster I can identify problems, prioritize important changes, and improve SeaColony.
I’ll be closely following player feedback and using it to help shape the game as development continues.
To celebrate the Early Access launch, SeaColony is 35% off for the first two weeks!
Thank you to everyone who has followed the game, added it to their wishlist, played the demo, shared feedback, or supported development so far.
This is only the beginning.
Welcome to SeaColony, and good luck building your colony on the open sea! 🌊
SeaColony is Coming to Early Access on August 25! 🌊 I'm excited to finally announce that SeaColony will launch in Early Access on August 25, 2026! SeaColony has grown a lot throughout development, with new systems, mechanics, and improvements added along the way. Starting with a
I'm excited to finally announce that SeaColony will launch in Early Access on August 25, 2026!
SeaColony has grown a lot throughout development, with new systems, mechanics, and improvements added along the way. Starting with a small platform in the middle of the ocean, you'll build and expand your floating colony while managing the people who call it home.
Grow food, fish from the sea, produce essential resources, generate power, research new technologies, and trade with passing merchant ships as your colony expands.
But life on the open sea won't always be peaceful. You'll need to prepare for pirate raids, fires, harsh weather, resource shortages, and other unexpected events that can put your colony at risk.
A new trailer is now available, showcasing the current state of SeaColony and what you can expect when Early Access begins.
Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted SeaColony, played the demo, shared feedback, or followed the development of the game.
Early Access is only the beginning, and I look forward to continuing to improve and expand SeaColony together with the community.
SeaColony launches in Early Access on August 25, 2026.
See you on the open sea! 🌊

The demo is now no longer available, as I’m focusing fully on preparing SeaColony for the Early Access release.
The feedback from the demo was very helpful, and I’m already working on improvements based on your comments — including better tutorials, clearer controls, improved survivor behavior, and more content.
SeaColony will return with a much more complete and polished Early Access version.
