Dev Blog #26 - Supervolcano Update!

Welcome back to our Dev Blog!

We're excited to share our progress on our next major content addition: the Supervolcanic Eruption disaster!

A Cataclysmic Event

Our upcoming update introduces the first supervolcanic eruption in modern human history. Coinciding with our Japanese translations, the event centers on the Kikai Caldera in Japan. Players will face:

• Tsunamis affecting coastlines across Asia

• Widespread respiratory issues caused by ash

• A mini ice age altering global climate

• Worldwide power shortages and food scarcity

We've based this disaster on historical events like the Toba supereruption 74,000 years ago and the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption, which resulted in the Year Without a Summer. Our goal is to combine humanity’s known struggles when suffering large volcanic eruptions in the past, with the added complexities introduced by modern technology.
