Vault Dweller has announced an exact release date for Colony Ship. Not in March in the end, but slightly afterwards on April 6th. The development update is extremely brief, so I'll supplement it with the twelve new screenshots that have been added to the game's Steam page.

Sorry for the radio silence, we worked non-stop for the last 6 weeks and I didn't want to post anything until the bulk of work was done, meaning no unexpected delays. It's done now (all that's left is visual polish), so the first chapter will be released on April 6. At this point we can honestly say we did our best. Hopefully you'll enjoy the game and help us make it better.

I updated our store page with 12 new screenshots; a new trailer is coming next week.
​

According to Vault Dweller, the Colony Ship Early Access build will cost $25 on launch. The price will gradually be increased as new content is added and the final release will cost $40.

Good price and everything looks good except the UI and potential ruleset bloat.

Remember the other day when I said that it's odd developers no longer show their character systems and the like in screenshots?

Good job, VD! That's the way it's done when you have something worth showing.

When you get companions, are their weapons also shown at the bottom?

Any chance the final game won't be so dark?

I had no idea the date was so close. Looking forward to day-zeroing this.

Incidentally, Iron Tower games continue to have the absolute best character portraits around. There is just no competition. The portraits, even in their miniscule form, did a lot to humanize the world of AoD and this game looks to be no different.

This is true. Because their portraits have expressions. NwN has some of that too.

Agreed, but I feel the Iron Tower portraits are unique, and very well served, in having been painted in a realistic, restrained style.

Some are too mundane.

Congrats Vault Dweller and the Iron Tower Studio team

Vault Dweller will there be an option to buy EA from your site directly? I bet in RU Steam the game will be underpriced as usual.

Great stuff VD, congrats! It must feel good to have it locked in after so much effort. You can count on my shekels.

Lots of news being posted lately, is it Infinitron trying desperately to create the illusion of relevance to justify the donation drive?

THIS GON B GUD!

Honestly, I hope all of you support this game and Vince with as much money as you can afford, he and his team deserves it more than most others indie devs.

Put your faith, money and convictions of the cRPGs genre where your mouth is!
