We’re participating in the City Builder & Colony Sim Fest which means Colony Survival is currently 30% off! This is a great moment to purchase the game if you don’t own it yet.

As promised in the previous blog, we made a video showing the new systems! Here it is:

We didn’t merely work on the rubble-effect. We also added explosives! There are currently three types. (In the internal development build that will be released publicly quite soon)

Firstly, there are regular bombs, which destroy blocks all around them. Need a building gone rapidly? These are for you!

Secondly, there are shaped charges. They blast away a 3x3 area in front of them. They’re very useful if you need to make a tunnel.

Last but not least, there are shaped charges that target downwards diagonally. This leaves a stair-like shape standing. Very practical when you’re digging a mine!


To trigger these explosives, we’ve implemented a fuse system. They can be placed on the ground and they automatically connect to each other and to bombs. They can’t be placed vertically on walls though, so we had to think of an alternative way of going up a level.

That turned out to be the “fuse elevator”. It’s made by building another fuse right on top of an existing fuse. The fuse now turns into two square rings on two different levels, connecting nearby fuses on both levels together.

Another useful part of the fuse system is the fuse timer. It works like a regular fuse, but it contains a delay of four seconds. All combined, it’s a pretty complex and powerful system!

Development on these new items and features is mostly finished. Just some finishing touches are needed. We’re hoping to release the update within a couple of weeks!
