Greetings!

Here’s the teaser video we’ve prepared to announce The Six Wonders. Hope you like it!

The Six Wonders are the biggest and most amazing ones you can build for the colony. But, as mighty as they are, they’re also really expensive to build. Tons of resources are required for both researching and building them. In return, they grant very special featur... Read more

Greetings!
As you know we are working on a big update for They Are Billions (V.0.8) with The Six Wonders, that we expect to publish on the 5th of May. Yes, it has been delayed, sorry about that! The main reason is that we have to translate all the new stuff into 12 languages which pushed back the release dates and also requires extra testing time.

Meanwhile we have used this time to add more features suggested by you, the players, to improve many aspects of the game. Apart from the Six Wonders, which we will go more in detail in our next post, we want to talk about the new features of the upcoming 0.8 version.

New Language Available: Italian
Finally, we have finished the translation to Italian and it will be included in the next version 0.8. They Are Billions is now available in twelve languages!

Mods, Editing Save Games, and Creating Game Maps
IMPORTANT: Any alteration of game files, de-compiling the game or creating external applications to edit maps or save games are not allowed in any case. Any reference to those tools will be banned from the forum. Indeed, that's a copyright infringement.

Why?
Easy. The game is under development, it is an Early Access game that is changing every day. External tools to hack the game or the game files negatively affect the development. These generate errors and crashes that are sent to Numantian Games via the Error Reporting System. Even worse, some hac... Read more

Greetings! It has been an old dream of ours here at Numantian to have the opportunity to record the soundtrack of TAB with a philharmonic orchestra. Our composer, Nicolas Diteriks, did a tremendous job collaborating with Johannes Vogel, who conducts the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra. His orchestra has a great deal of experience recording music for videogames (Castlevania, Batman Arkham Origins, Assasin’s Creed III, Lords of the Fallen). It was an amazing experience and we’re thrilled with the final result. We hope the final results will make the playing experience of They Are Billions even more intense and engaging.

For a sneak peak of the recording session follow this link:

Greetings! This is a quick update to talk a bit more about the development and incoming features for They Are Billions. It has been a long time since our last update because we have been working in parallel on different parts of the game, not only for the Campaign but also for the Survival Mode.

The Six Wonders
Six new buildings are coming... and they are the greatest ones! They are extremely expensive to research and build. Not many colonies will have the capacity to even build just one of them. After all, we are surviving in a zombie apocalypse so there is no place for such luxurious and opulent wonders... BUT, if your colony has plenty of resources or you want to take the risk to build one of them, they can grant you very special rewards. Your colony will be the envy of all. :)

One of them, the cheapest one, will be the Inn/Tavern we mentioned in old updates. Finally we had to change its function as it was conflicting with other elements of the Campaign.

This is the official They Are Billions Reddit, but not our official channel. This is a community page now. We'll only be popping in occasionally on this page to answer questions from time to time.

Hi. We are not against modding at all. We were just asking to wait until we release Steam Workshop in the future. We actually promoted game mods of our previous game in the past. http://www.numantiangames.com/mods/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/296570/workshop/

So once Steam Workshop is up and you have a really cool mod that people enjoy - we might just promote it. :)

Please feel free to discuss ideas. We won't be moderating this page any longer and will only occasionally be able to comment on Reddit.
