Thank you for a great launch!
It's been four days since the release, and it's been a pleasure to read about all the worlds you've created! You were:
- More than 1000 playing simultaneously
- More than 1000 viewers on the Steam livestream
- More than 250 to share a review and counting
We are absolutely overwhelmed by all the positive feedback and reviews we received! It has been a joy to see the fans of the original embracing the sequel with such love! It motivates us to go even further!
We love to see you experiment with all kinds of ecosystems. (Congratulations to orian34 on Discord for this bear-fect biotica score)!
We’ve also been devouring your feedback on the Steam forums and Discord. We couldn’t help to create a first patch right away: v1.0.2 is now live, ready for the weekend!
You’ll find bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements based on your suggestions (most notably you can now rename your cities, and delete your planets and profiles). The game also had its first balance changes! Find the full patch notes at the end of the post. Keep the reports coming, and we’ll keep the improvements coming!
We hear that you want to play the game in your own language, we made a separate post about this here. In the meanwhile cast your localization votes in the comments!
The whole team is so grateful for your overwhelming feedback!
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and wrote a review. If you haven't done so already, please don't hesitate to write a review as it really helps us a lot! (also here is a cake Sugar High Score created for the release!)
In the meantime, have fun with the giants! Stay tuned for more information in the days to come!
