- Patch note v1.1.0.1 - 2 September 2021
Hey everyone! We've just uploaded a quick patch that fixes an annoying issue some of you have been experiencing, where automating battles could bug out every few minutes. On other notes - We realize we've been a bit quiet around here lately, as unfortunately our launch didn't go well enough to allow us to keep supporting SimPocalypse with regular updates. There's so much more we wanted to do with the game, but unfortunately first have to focus on paying the bills, so we had to shift our focus elsewhere. However, despite this, we want to deliver a sizeable update sometime in the following months, while working a bit on it in our spare time. In our view, the most needed thing would be some extensions of the late game, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas of what you'd like to see improve or added to the game. Please post your thoughts in our Discord here , in the #ideas-suggestio…

- Patch v0.8.0.10 - Save System Rework - 6 April 2021
Today's update contains a Save System file rework, which vastly improves how we store and manage save files on Steam. What does this update change? - This update changes the way save games are stored – before it was using Chromium's local storage, now it uses system files. This prevents them from breaking due to weird localstorage limitations/bugs, and also gives “truly infinite” save games potential, limited only by your disk space - It introduces “Restore points”, which are essentially backups of your game save roughly every month of game time, which you can then re-load/go back in time. Very useful in case of messing up, or trying different builds! - A few new settings were added under Settings -> General. These allow you to control granularity of game saving as well as these restore points. - Some additional load/save handling improvements were done, to prevent bugs, or some other i…

Progress on the Nuclear update is going well, and it will involve a complete UI/graphical overhaul of the game – we're aiming to release this update by March 20th. Here're the very first previews from the current working version of the game: We are also aiming to update the very first background (ambiance music) within this update to give the game an additional post-apocalyptic ambiance feel. So, in case our music producer manages to prepare the final version soon enough, we'll be implementing the updated music with the next game update as well. While the focus of the update is mainly on that overhaul, we also hope to squeeze in a bunch of bugfixes and other improvements.

Hello everyone, we wanted to share some exciting news with you guys today. We're now coming to the end of the tasks for Version 0.7 – Combat rework Update! We have a few days left to finish what is still planned to be developed, and meanwhile, we'll be fully testing the updated features, adjusting/ polishing where needed.
