If you’ve played any of the pre-release demos, you’ll encounter lots of other updates, including a new volcanic biome, improved VFX, more dramatic lighting and the ability to export your end of map summary as a GIF.

Why Early Access?

We’re a small team, and we’ve worked on Calyx for some time already. We believe the game already offers an entertaining mix of basebuilding, combat and storyline, but there are still mechanics, systems and features missing to make it fully rounded. By offering Calyx to a larger audience before full release, we can receive essential feedback to help us build out the experience and make the final game the best it can possibly be.
