Version 0.2.2 is live now, mostly pushed because I shipped two save bugs, one that deleted a save on a version update inadvertently and another that would cause your save to not load. The joy of edge cases.

I did slip in a couple new features:

🔥 Fires are now something you manage. You can set them to be stocked or not. They consume wood so you'll need to make sure you're chopping down trees for them, but be warned, trees don't grow back.

⚔️ And now colonists will come to the aid of another colonist who's being attacked. But only if they're in earshot of the victim. So be warned, when the wolves come know where your colonists are.

And finally, Outpost is now on YouTube with the brand new Alpha video. Check it out here: youtube.com/@OrionSevenGames

Enjoy, Orion

👋 Welcome to the frontier! I'm Orion, for years I've wanted to make a game and after years of putting it off I'm finally doing it. I hope you enjoy the endeavor as much as I am.

Outpost is a survival colony sim, inspired by Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld's simulation depth, Minecraft's voxel look, and Banished's unforgiving ecology: forests don't grow back unless you replant them, winter kills the unprepared, and whatever emptied this outpost before you arrived is still out there.

🇺🇸 Happy 4th to my US readers. Today marks the 250th birthday of the USA and (not as importantly) v0.2 of Outpost. This is the first version that brings together all the major systems and is the first version with a design aesthetic unique to Outpost.

I hope you enjoy it.
