How do you feel about the price of Colony Survival?
The current price of €/$ 20 is...
...definitively too cheap
...on the cheap side
...perfectly reasonable
...a bit expensive
...way too expensive
Clear selection
Raising the price to €/$ 25 is...
...still an amazing bargain
...perfectly reasonable
...a bit much
...making the game much too expensive
Clear selection
How do you feel about these proposals for future updates?
A late-game and costly jetpack that allows you to fly upwards, to hover and to build while doing so, without enabling cheats and breaking achievements

Pick one! What should our priorities be?
We're a small team and we can't do everything simultaneously. How should we divide our time?
Should we spend the rest of this Winter on new content, or should we polish up existing content by fixing bugs, improving the UI, etcetera?

Colonists are relatively simple, but you can recruit great quantities of them. We could make colonists and their demands more complex, but that would reduce the intended amount of them. What do you prefer?
Smaller amounts of detailed, complex colonists

0.9.0 is more complex. We could focus on content like better tutorials, an in-game wiki and a mission system to make the game more approachable. Or we could spend that time on actual content. What do you prefer?
Better tutorials / in-game wiki / mission system

Multiplayer hasn't received a lot of attention. We could put effort into making the experience on public servers better. We could work on anti-grieving systems and on better moderating tools. That wouldn't help the singleplayer experience though. How should we divide our time?
100% focus on singleplayer
