Greetings eveyone,

I am thrilled to announce that Settlements Rising has officially left Early Access and is now available as a full release! This marks a major milestone for the game, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who supported the game throughout the Early Access journey.


While the game has now reached v1.0.0, this does not mean that updates are coming to an end. The Early Access roadmap has been successfully completed, bringing all the planned features to life. However, development will continue. Moving forward, updates will primarily focus on bug fixes, balance improvements, and quality of life enhancements to ensure the best possible experience for you.


Although future updates will prioritize stability and refinements, new content may still be added from time to time. The frequency of such updates will slow down compared to the Early Access period.


I encourage you to continue sharing your bug reports and feedback, as they are valuable to me. Every piece of feedback is read with care, and many of the UI tools and features you see in the game today were inspired by player suggestions. Your input has shaped Settlements Rising into what it is today, and I hope you'll continue to be part of its journey.

Developing this game as a solo developer has been a time-consuming process that required many sacrifices from my social life. However, seeing the game being appreciated and receiving your feedback has made it all worthwhile.

Thank you once again for being an essential part of the community. Enjoy the full release, and happy building!

Hello everyone,

I hope 2025 has started wonderfully for you all. I'm thrilled to announce that we are participating in the Steam Real-Time Strategy Fest, which will run from January 20th to January 27th, and during this event, the game will officially release version 1.0 on January 20th.

We've made great progress in completing the game's roadmap in a short time, and with the feedback I've received from all of you, I've added even more to the game. I'm very satisfied with where we've arrived. To give you access to version 1.0, I've created a beta branch on Steam called "1.0 Preview". Through this branch, you can play the upcoming version before its official release.

Moving to version 1.0 does not mean the end of support or updates for the game. However, updates may come less frequently, focusing on improving user experience, fixing bugs, balancing gameplay, and adding quality-of-life updates.

• Diverse Villager Models: We've added 6 new villager character models: 3 male and 3 female. Additionally, villagers equipped with hide coats will now wear winter clothing during the colder months, resulting in 18 unique villager models roaming your streets.
  
• New Mountain Models: To make the mountains look less ordinary, we've replaced them with more visually appealing models. Please note that the new mountain models will only appear in newly created games.
  
  
• Improvement to Land Value Display: Based on community feedback, when you open the land value indicator for a house, the land values of other nearby buildings will now also display on the map for easier planning.

• Storage Attendant Issue: Fixed an issue where storage attendants would get stuck in a loop of starting and canceling tasks when the storage was full, and one of the selected resources was in the wheel cart.
  
  
• Waste Collector Issue: Fixed an issue where waste collectors would get stuck in a loop of starting and canceling tasks due to unreachable waste buckets.

Enjoy the game, and thank you for your continued support.
