Steam Next Fest was a blast, thank you for all the love and positive feedback on the demo! We've seen how much people enjoy educational content mixed with adventures, we got 1'000 wishlists and had the opportunity to get in touch with tons of lovely people, so again, thank you!

And now, it's time for us to work on the release of the game. So here we are, the eruption date is set - and there's no coming back!

With the full content, you'll be able to explore way more content and locations! You always wanted to see the Great Theater? The luxurious Roman baths? The games of the arena?

We have those. And way more! Like an eruption. That's pretty cool, no? Wait. No. It's not.

Don't worry, the demo is still available for everyone, give it a try! And if you enjoy wandering through Pompeii, don't forget to give us a wishlist and leave a feedback!

Cheers!

Hey Squirrels!

We're celebrating by bringing a midsummer-themed update with new items, decorations, features and fixes!

- We've added some items inspired by Swedish midsummer celebrations, that we hope you will have fun with! See if you can find the midsummer pole in the park and equip the flower crown!


- This means that you can now store all your crafting materials in chests in your favorite house or burrow, and use the materials to build and craft even when you're not near the chest. You'll no longer need to bring all the crafting materials with you in your inventory.

• FOV slider
  
• Item frame
  
• Flower wreath
  
• Torches
  
• Auto-use materials when building and crafting
  
• Added more options to the graphics settings menu
  
• Added numbers to sliders in various settings

• Fixed some terrain incorrectly being hidden when using squirrelvision
  
• Fixed some assets floating in mid air
  
• Improved water/landscape boundaries
  
• Fixed incorrectly sized waterplane in hedge maze fountain
  
• Fixed inconsistent audio levels between the three chest tiers. Improved audio of larger chests
  
• Fixed collision for teacup in the cafe
  
• Fixed various landscape inconsistencies and misalignments

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by during the Steam Next Fest! We had a great time here at ToastieLabs with our live broadcasts on Steam and with the ongoing chats with you over in our Discord server.

(If you missed any of the livestreams and would like to catch up on what you missed, you can find all of the recordings on our YouTube channel to watch at your convenience.)

Over 2000 of you played the game demo, which absolutely blows us away! Thank you all so much for your interest and interaction with Coloring Voxels. We are just as excited as you are to see the development progress from now until release in only a couple of months!

The Demo consisted of a single world (Volcano), which is made up of 16 levels. The overall feedback on the world design was your enjoyment of the art aesthetic, and we couldn't be happier with your kind words. 💖

Once again, your interest and interaction with Coloring Voxels are better than we could ever ask for. Here is a cool, detailed breakdown of the players and wishlists from the Next Fest week.

Over 10% of the players who tested the game demo added it to their wishlists, which is a great conversion rate, especially considering that over 5,000+ of you already had Coloring Voxels on your wishlists before the demo was live.

This boost in wishlists has taken us ever closer to our ambitious 7,000-10,000 wishlists goal. Thank you again, and make sure to follow along with the development from here to launch in August to stay up-to-date with the game!

You can even see the boost Next Fest had on the overall wishlists graph!

It's all hands on deck to get the game ready for the August launch date. The first thing we're working on is a robust game editor so we can all get involved with a more streamlined and efficient method of importing, testing and fixing the game levels.

Once this is in place, we have more worlds and levels to make, QA and get ready for release, and there are a lot of features and fixes for our programmer, Rob, to implement.

A huge thank you to all of you who submitted reports and gave feedback on your experience. We have been taking it all on board and are using it to prioritise what we are implementing into the game.

In addition to adding the already promised features, such as graphics settings and improved performance. We have digested all of the feedback to create a prioritised list of tasks to work through. From a couple of bug reports to features and settings you would like to see, we will do our best to get as much in for launch as possible.

Your Feedback Additions:

• Mouse sensitivity settings.

• Keyboard controls.

• Options to change coloring numbers' meaning/sequencing.

• Toggle to turn off the level timelapse when opening a level.

• Main Menu world view improvements.

  • Hide outside levels so you can see levels in the centre.

  • Better methods to view worlds.

  • New Game Plus effects.

  • Ability to hide your best time from completed levels.

• Free camera or something similar at the end of the level.

• Level percentage pop-up

• Level timer pop-up

Known Bugs/Issues:

• Poor game performance

• Poor game controls

• End of levels timelapse sometimes does not repeat.

• Initial timelapse fails if any layer is completed in a different order.

• Layer selection overlapping with the play zone.

• No Autosave on game close.

• Can click through voxels with set camera angles.

• Potential AFK issue when the level is completed.

This is just some of the more mentioned parts of the list. Please note that these suggestions are on top of our pre-existing commitment to add many of the settings you can already find in Coloring Pixels. We want to ensure that everyone from Coloring Pixels will feel at home in the sequel, even if you have some strange config set up.

We are constantly looking for feedback to act upon, so if you have any more suggestions, please let us know!

It's not too long to go for the launch of the game! Coming August 15th, make sure you have Coloring Voxels on your wishlist and share with your friends. Any additional wishlists from now to release will help us immensely, so thank you in advance for being amazing! 💖

This update is immense. In terms of making the game more fun it is probably the most impactful we have released yet. Here is a quick overview:

• More control over the randomness in your builds

• Difficulty selection

• Balance rework

• New specialist - Phasewalker

• Heat modes - late game challenge

Update 9 addresses one of the biggest issues in the game: until now the only way to control how you build your deck is unlocking the rerolls every 10 XP Levels. This led to a bigger and bigger pool of choices which made it harder and harder to control the composition of your deck throughout a run. And while randomness will always be a part of Rogue Command, this was not satisfying. 

With this update we are introducing the concept of themed blueprint pools. So instead of just getting fully random choices you will get some information about the choices. So you might get pools for Tanks, Burning and Healers. Or turrets, support buildings and armored units. 

In our testing and according to the feedback from our beta branch players (thank you to our discord community <3 !!!) this makes the deck building a lot more fun. 

RTS-Games are hard to learn. And Rogue Command is supposed to be a challenging game. But what that means for each player can be so vastly different that we needed to offer a way to adjust this. You can now choose your difficulty level at the start of each run.

This does not affect any of the progress, XP unlocks or Heat Levels. Just set it to where you have the most fun. 

Just because we like to punish ourselves does not mean you have to. 

For the players who have mastered the game there is also a new (still a bit experimental) way to keep pushing through ever increasing stages of hardship - The Heat Levels.
After beating Ascension 10 on the current patch you will unlock the Heat Mode selector in the Run Setup. Each Heat Level makes the enemies stronger with more HP and more damage. Counted in roman numerals this mode is theoretically endless and in our discord we saw people already pushing this way further than we ever thought possible. How far can you push it? 

BTW, difficulty is independent of Heat, so if you choose a lower mode you can still enter the gauntlet, at your own pace.

The balance has more or less been completely reworked. The goal is to have more action but less “spammy” enemies. Scarier big units and more easily disposed of smaller harassers. We are still not done. But in terms of how we want the game to feel this is a huge step in the right direction. 

The basic challenge has increased, so feel free to adjust the difficulty setting if it does not feel enjoyable.

Jump your army across the battlefield and hit the enemy where it hurts! A powerful fighter in its own right, the Phasewalker shines by providing your army with a way in and out of fights and simultaneous powerful buffs. The added mobility makes playing with it feel very different to the other specialists. 

We can not wait to see the builds you will come up with around it.

On top of a new specialist, there is also a couple of new blueprints.

• The Buckler Mech: Combining a great protective active ability with heavy melee attacks.

• Missile Truck: super long range multi missile artillery unit

• Weather Tower: a turret / super weapon combo with a powerful stun strike ability 

And some more cool new Hacks and Upgrades that add depth to systems that were a bit neglected. More to come for sure!

If you want to get all the updates early and help us test out the new changes, you can switch your game to the Beta branch in your Steam library. Right click -> Properties -> Betas and select the beta from the dropdown menu.

The full version of Easy Bubbles is now available on Steam. If you played the demo, you can pick up right where you left off—your progress transfers seamlessly into the complete game.

As of today, no further updates will be made to the demo. I’m immensely grateful to everyone who tried the early build, reported bugs, and sent feedback. Your support shaped the final release.

The full game offers a much larger, richer underwater experience with new species, advanced tank systems, and extended progression. If you’d like to sample the game first, a limited-content demo remains free on the store page, but all new features are exclusive to the full release.

See you beneath the waves in the full version. Take care, and thanks again for being part of the journey.
