Making it was quite the challenge. We really wanted to showcase the potential of the game. We needed beautiful worlds that integrated all the new content from 0.10.0, stuff like the enhanced rail system and all the new decorative items. We asked for help from the community with the Builder’s Contest - here are the winners!

Although their worlds are impressive and beautiful, they didn’t showcase all the things that we thought a main trailer should contain. So we spent weeks building a custom world exactly suited to filming the trailer.

Then we filmed it. For the first time, the entire pipeline is 4K. 4K rendering of the game, 4K recording, 4K editing. The difference with older videos is very noticeable!

Last but not least, we needed a proper trailer song. One that will really “grab” newcomers who visit our storepage for the first time and know nothing about Colony Survival. Eventually, we found The Mad King by Rok Nardin, a young Slovenian composer. We got in touch with him and licensed the song for our trailer. We are very excited about the end result. Thanks again to everybody who helped make it possible!

We set another major step since the last Friday Blog. We now have full controller support and Steam Deck compatibility!

This is actually a thing that is checked by the team behind Steam. You have to put in a request for them to look at your game, and then they’ll actually play it and test a bunch of different features.

We didn’t get fully approved on the first try. We received some feedback about things that we needed to improve. We did, and this week we did get the full approval!

This is a feature that has been popularly demanded since the release. If you’ve been waiting to try and play Colony Survival with a controller or on your Steam Deck, then this is the moment!
