Ever wonder if 2023 was one of the best gaming years in a long fucking time?

Honestly, it seems like yesterday that Vince announced the EA launching. Time flies, eh?

Shill this shit everywhere, and lets get Vince and his team the success they deserve.

You can probably count on a launch trailer close to 9th of november, it would be stupid not to push for marketing and media around the time of release.

The Pit update (and a lot more!)
The hardest update of the year is done and we can finally focus on the endgame events. We need about 3 weeks to wrap it up, the level design and most writing is already done, so we're confident enough to announce the release date - Nov 9.

The game was in development since Jan 2017, so it's been almost 7 years, which is quite a journey. We would have never made it this far without players willing to support us and help us make a better game. Thank you.

On to the update: while the main focus is the Pit (chapter 4), it adds several player-requested quest solutions (like sneaking past Hargrave in Mission Control), more sneaking opportunities and minor events, special deals for Master Trader (feat), changes to Armor Handling, changes to Cloaking Field (gadget) and the stealth system in general.

We didn't list recent updates on the store page as we kept them on the testing branch until the system changes were completed. So for the players on the default branch, this update also includes

- New Chapter 2 content.
- Party members' Bonding System.
- The Grangers' Alliance
- The Delivery (keeping it vague to avoid spoilers)
- The Habitat's questlines' conclusion

Thank you for playing, see you in a month.

I can shill this to my audience, but they're mostly perverts.

Buyed, shilled, GOTY'd.

Don't forget to leave a steam review if you haven't yet. They're almost to 1,000 reviews, which increases visibility on the storefront, if I'm not mistaken.

I mean for heaven's sake, if I type "Colony" into the search bar, it won't even include the game on the autofill list.

You can take off the boots of your female protagonist and she'll be barefoot.

That's all the lewd pervert content I need!

That's the biggest assumption I've read all day

I mean it looked more fun from a side glance. First game was stuck in dungeon or some shit and second game was rail roaded adventure. Assuming the gameplay was roughly the same, I picked the one that sounded more fun.

Tangentially related - back when I joined the codex I hadn't yet played Fallout. I started off with 2 as I thought 2 has to be better than 1 right? I remember getting bored/frustrated in that opening temple (I think it was a temple) I was advised to start with 1 and now it's still one of6 favourite games - and 2 was a blast since I had gotten used to the mechanics.

Anyway, congrats ITS!!!
