Dear Pioneers, You may have noticed a slower pace of updates for the game lately, so we wanted to share some news from the team and provide an update on the development of The Pioneers. As we’ve mentioned before, our team’s situation is challenging. Despite the moderate success we enjoyed on Steam when we launched in Early Access last year, we’ve struggled to secure enough financial resources to hire the full team necessary to develop a game as ambitious as The Pioneers. Nonetheless, we’ve chosen to keep going, driven by hard work and determination. This decision, however, means we’re working

Dear Pioneers, As we had announced in our roadmap, the next major patch "Road Trip" will introduce the game's first vehicle, as well as a new dedicated station module, new equipment, a new character, and above all, much more exploration gameplay. We had planned to release it at the end of the second quarter of this year, but to avoid clashing with the Steam summer sales, we decided to postpone its release until mid-July. This is good news, as it will also allow us to finalize the implementation of our new character production method, which will ultimately allow us to offer you visuals, narrati

Dear Pioneers, Releasing a game is not an easy task. You have to manage the influx of new bugs, work on fixes, prepare major updates, take care of your growing community... After more than 3 months of intensive work, the whole team needed to take a moment to rest. That's why we took a little more time than usual to bring you this new patch. We still took advantage of this low intensity period to set up our new offices. It's really quite new. As you can see on the picture, the computers are not even plugged in yet, but we are happy to finally have a proper place to work! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4121
