Time for another blog about Coloniser's lore - this time we are talking about (some of the) Keepers' units. Nothing that you didn't know if you played the demo, but cool info nonetheless:

We are working on new models for our units - better details, clearer outlines, smoother movement! Look at them - all vigilant and ready! ⚔️

We're working on a projectile multi-hit point setup. When using trebuchets, catapults and other siege weapons, we don't want to hit just one spot on buildings.

So far, so good! Once we add destruction particles and fire vfx it's going to be great! 💥🔥🏰

Some concept art for our units in Coloniser - a massive persistent RTS where tribes clash while trying to survive and shape an alien world.

Can you guess what is the role of each unit?

While the retro aesthetic has become part of the game’s identity, these updates hopefully can prove that the game is always evolving.⏫🖼️

Our game will be getting some major graphical overhaul in the upcoming weeks.🛠️

Up until now, we've been using modern camera system for our game, but since we're big fans of old school RTS games, we decided to try orthographic perspective and we are... kinda in love with it?

What says you? Which one is better?

Texturing is fun! So we decided to apply textures to buildings in our RTS. Our goal was to improve the look of them and to better match the rest of the environment (mostly the trees). This felt like a good direction. 🏘️🖼️

Buildings in our rts game can evolve through eras. Each era should show advancement as they will allow additional options. Here are some concept arts of the Archery Range building that belong to Odyssean faction
