Minor Gameplay Changes Added level requirements to armor Target will switch once current target is defeated Added new armor set: Titanium Slight changes to dodging with improved animations and camera stability
- Quick fix - 10 March 2023
Added heights to enemies for camera calculations
- Patch Notes for March 10th 2023 - 10 March 2023
Camera Tweaks I noticed the camera was a bit jittery when switching targets and if the enemy was too large then they would not be in the frame fully so I tried to fix this Added transition time to camera when target switching in combat Made it so the height of the enemy affects the pivot and initial zoom of camera
- Adventure Mode Added with New Area to Explore - 3 March 2023
New Mode: Adventure Going on an adventure with your fighter will provide them with the opportunity to gain experience while exploring new areas and collecting resources or equipment along the way.

- Upcoming Major Update - 1 March 2023
First of all, I apologize for the lack of consistent updates or announcements. The holidays were a tough time for me this year which contributed to some delays. However, I have been working on this next update for awhile and I think it is time to share with everyone. If you have access to the beta I am currently testing the final build on there but I am expecting to be releasing to the public by Friday. This update will feature a new mode called "adventures" where you will explore a new area with your fighter to defeat new enemies, find resources and equipment. Hopefully this will add a change of pace between fighting in the arena and provide a framework for different types of gameplay mechanics to be explored. I will post a major update announcement when it is ready to download. For now, here are some pictures of the first area that will be available to explore.
- Update 1.0.2 - 1 December 2022
Fixed Steam achievement functionality for all achievements
- Entering Early Access and Ending Demo - 19 October 2022
First of all, thank you to everyone who added Alien Colosseum to their Wishlist during the recent store events. Also, I hope everyone has had an opportunity to play the demo and beat the champion. In order to focus the attention on the one build of the game, the early access version will be the only one available upon release. So the demo and playtest will no longer be playable. This is to ensure that any bug reports are for the same build and I can focus on improving the base game. This will be an early access version so there will likely still be bugs, especially upon first release. If this happens, please make a post in the Steam community discussion for Alien Colosseum. I will likely make a discord in the future if this is preferred for communication. Good luck in the arena and I hope you enjoy your time playing Alien Colosseum!
- Welcome new players from Next Fest! - 3 October 2022
Hello everyone! If you have added the Alien Colosseum demo to your library but have not played yet, don't miss out on your opportunity to play. This demo will very likely be stopped once the game enters early access after the Next Fest is over. Please enjoy the demo and if you have a chance head over to the community page for Alien Colosseum to make a post in the discussions. I'd love to hear some feedback on what players are liking or disliking. Also don't forget to add Alien Colosseum to your wishlist so you know when we enter early access. The planned date is for October 12th but this could change.
- Demo Release for Steam Next Fest - 27 September 2022
Alien Colosseum will be participating in the Steam Next Fest at the beginning of October, starting on the 3rd! To allow potential customers a chance to experience the game before entering early access I have prepared a demo to play. This will show off the fighting mechanics, skills, and management gameplay for training a fighter to win in the arena. Some gameplay features will be restricted to the full game but I hope this is an enjoyable experience for any who decide to play! If you are interested in purchasing the game when it becomes available, ensure to add Alien Colosseum to your Wishlist today,
- Join the free Playtest for Alien Colosseum! - 6 September 2022
This playtest currently features all current playable aspects of the game to give players a chance to explore the different mechanics and provide feedback on current balance issues or general bugs. This game is still a work in progress, and this playtest does not represent the quality of the final product. The current planned schedule for this playtest is from now until September 18th. At which point I plan to pause the playtest during the steam events that Alien Colosseum is participating in until October 10th. However, during this time there will be a demo to play. Then the playtest will be opened again from October 11th until the official release of Alien Colosseum on November 9th! This schedule may change but I will provide warning when the playtest will end.
