Hey everyone!
Welcome back to our monthly blog post! Last month’s combat update introduced two new scenarios to Primordial Empire, one of which a procedurally generated secret level that plays differently every time. It’s been great seeing everyone enjoying the new challenges so much, and I cannot thank you all enough for playing the demo and showing so much enthusiastic support for my game. Now I am more excited than ever to share you some of the new content that I've been making for the next update.
What’s Next
After introducing combat and warfare to this microscopic colony builder, my focus shifted back on developing new content – for example, new plants! Here’s a sneak peek at what I’m currently working on:
These will be part of a wildlife update for the Demo to further flesh out different biomes by adding native wildlife. They will generally be neutral towards the player while adding flavour and potentially strategic spins to the scenarios with various ways to interact with them. I've delved deeper into this upcoming mechanic on my Discord so feel free to join our discussion there.
Demo Patches
Aside from new content in the works, I’ve also implemented several changes in Primordial Empire earlier this month to further polish the existing content in the demo. Here’s the full changelog of v0.2.7_demo and the follow-up patches.
v0.2.7_demo Patch Notes
Fatal combat damage to ally plants now produces remains that can be double-clicked to replant,

Hotfix (2025-07-09):
Fixed potential crashes when loading between different maps,
Fixed "blind spots" in neuron cluster calculation,
