We started to work on NextColony about a year ago. The past year has been both exhausting and exciting for the team. Despite coffee and donuts. We are a small indie team and the challenge to build a game

Today you'll have a chance to get the most valuable giveaway we've given away so far. The first of ten Yamato blueprints will be given away today. But let's start with a new and tasty update first. Let's

The giveaway is finished and all blueprints have been sent. All 116 settlers of the last giveaway, which had commented and resteemed, have just received their blueprints. You'll find your Transporter III

Our engineers have been working hard to deliver improved versions of the Transporter. We are proud to present two new Transporters. These are the new Transporters... Transporter II Speed (coordinate points

I've had no luck with planets for the last ten days so I'll have to make my own entertainment. Fortunately these bad boys are now ready to go! Corvettes are the smallest ships. They are surprisingly quick

After waiting for weeks for my delta planet, another planet comes along straight after. Just like buses! Epsilon is a common atmosphere, so nothing new there, but it's perfectly positioned on the bottom

After almost two weeks of fruitless exploration and lost explorers, finally a new planet!!! Not the direction I would have chosen but anything is welcome at this point. Plus its an uncommon coal, so my

I took this screenshot yesterday when I realised I had broken into the top 100 NextColony players! Today I'm at Rank 86 so I'm climbing slowly. Onwards and upwards! I think it's mainly luck so far. Most

Planet Gamma discovered! A common atmosphere planet, so nothing special, but exciting all the same. And again, perfectly positioned in the direction I'm trying to head! I've already deployed an explorer

My first exploration success! A common uranium planet!!! It's nicely situated too, in the direction I'm headed - out towards deep space! Now to work out what happened to my explorer!

If you look at the interactive map on SpyColony, there's an expanse of deep space in between two rings of planets. Is there anything out there? Time to find out! That's where I'm headed. Luckily for me,

I finally got the mission control upgrade underway. This should double my exploration exploits and hopefully help in finding that sought-after new planet! Just five days to wait!

Looks like my astronauts are having a whale of a time! Apart from the dead ones, obvs. Still no planets though :( I need to get that second mission in the mission control ASAP.

Nothing so far! One explorer lost :(

Nothing found :( Team already heading out on mission 2! It would be good to be able to schedule future missions in advance, rather than waiting for the explorer to return. Automatic cancellation could

I finally got my explorer up to level 20 and my shipyard to level 13. Now I can build explorers in my shipyard. First mission ready for launch in 6 hours!

Almost there! Hopefully jetting off into space this week-end!

Just upgraded my Explorer towards level 18. Soon be ready for take-off! Next stop - some new planet!
