A colony with a long memory

Explore the releases, experiments, and community knowledge behind Globulation 2.

Globulation 2 has a long history of players and contributors exploring a different kind of real-time strategy: manage the colony’s work while its creatures handle their own actions.

The original wiki keeps a dated record of that work. Its news archive lists the first alpha release on 1 February 2004, the first beta on 1 September 2007, and a community tournament announcement on 25 May 2009. These are historical milestones, not current release or event announcements.

Strategy pages record years of experiments with food, terrain, fruit, and combat. We keep links to those originals alongside current guides, so their context and contributor histories remain accessible.
