DLCs
First of all, we are excited to announce that we will develop DLCs for Terraformers. After lots of brainstorming we have settled down on 3 DLCs and we are starting development on those. Though the design has progressed well, it is still quite early and subject to change. But don’t worry, once things settle down more clearly and we have things to show we will do a devlog to give details about each of them.
The schedule for the DLC is still approximate and will depend on the progress we make as we develop them. We hope to release the first one this year and the second one next year. We will release a free update in-between each DLC as well.
One of the new events which may happen in your game. What could it be about?
Free updates
Yes, free updates! In between DLC we intend to release updates which will provide a mix of new content, quality of life improvements, general polishing and other features. The first such update will come in June and is what we have been working on since release.
More events were requested by the community and we have heard you! The new update will feature 4 new events and we hope you’ll find them exciting to discover. We don’t want to spoil the excitement so I won’t divulge too much here. Some will provide challenges or new projects when they appear and one in particular could make you ponder a switch of strategy in your game.
One major feature of the update will be the experimental gamepad and small screen support. As you may know we are working on a Switch port and full Steamdeck support. This will be the first iteration of the work we have been doing for it in the past months. We aim to have full controller support as well as a new UI layout better adapted for small screens. This will all be available on any version of the game, so if you have a small PC screen or would like to have bigger fonts, you’ll be able to test it easily.
Finally the update will feature many quality of life improvements as well as exploit- and bug fixes. For example we have added the “next city” buttons to cycle through them more easily as it was highly requested. We have also added warnings in case an action would cause the player to lose the game. We will provide a full list of the bug fixes and changes with the release of the patch.
Terraformers’ music
Can’t get enough of the Terraformers music? Maybe you’d like to listen to it while working or studying? Our composers Anton and Daniel have uploaded the Terraformers OST to Spotify, so you can listen to it now even while you’re not in the game!
Thanks for following us and good luck on the Red Planet!
