How are you all? I hope you're doing alright.

This past year, I've been working a lot on 'Shapez 2', which is now getting to an even more awesome state. But you might be more interested in hearing about 'Kiwi Game 2' - it's a buggy mess, but I'll tell you, it's shaping up to be hella fun - hopefully we can release it by the end of this year too!






Thanks to the folks at The Most Games, the game can now be played in Chinese (Simplified) & Japanese!

We also have support for Chinese (Traditional) too, thanks to our community member Milly, who did that all on her own.

I hope all the new folks who discover Kiwi thanks to all the languages that are now supported will greatly enjoy it and have fun with the crazy little things it has going on.

And if you find any opportunities to add funny puns in your native language, feel free to drop a suggestion in our Discord!




The new game stars our beloved little kiwi buddies/workers/victims with completely new mechanics that open up way more possibilities for strategizing, planning, progressing & crazy surprises - let us soon feast upon this new endlessly incrementing journey!

After Kiwi Game 2, I would also like to go back to Kiwi 1 and rework the end-end-endgame mechanics so they're more engaging - starting at ending 1, but mostly for ending 3.

Added a Message of the Day panel, on display when joining a game - to highlight more recent updates.

⛵️ Hello again Navigators! ⛵️

You might have seen Sagres pop up in your Steam update/download queue recently - we just wanted to pop a quick post up here so you can see what's what!

As you might have guessed already from the title of this post, we've added two new recruitable Navigators to the game. Can you find them? 😉

Thanks as always for your support and we wish you fair winds and following seas! 🌊

Hey everyone! Quick Update on progress ! We are targeting another experimental in the next few days to address further some bugs/issues. Our goal is to do 24 hour observation periods daily till we deem Experimental stable so we can merge it into the normal branch by Friday at the latest.


To opt into experimental install "Cepheus Protocol Experimental" in your steam library.
It is no longer a beta opt in but an entirely new game granted when you purchase the base game.

• Removed Striker 105 redundant 'explosive settings' in the WeaponConfig (that were also overriding some explosive rounds with wrong info)
  
• Fixed ground vehicles waiting to degarrisoning units until their 'corpse' has despawned
  
• Fixed a bug where if there is no 'active evac' building (i.e. civilian-owned building that's emptying out for evacuation's sake), civilians wouldn't move to the evac pad
  
• Added a safety-checker to stop 'orphaned' civilians from sitting still
  
• Added some logic: now if an evac helicopter takes off and civilians were heading to it, they can quickly re-assess and move to another evac chopper if one is available in the same zone
  
• Updated the Evac Merlin to hide its garrison count when moused over (so the 'Depart Now' widget doesn't conflict with the garrison count)
  
• Updated the Civilian Holding Area's healthbar to not be shown when the Civilian Holding Area's garrison list is shown

Please note the following going forward (Restart your game/steam to get the update if needed
