The demo for our massive persistent online RTS is live now on Steam! Play with up to 25 people on one map and survive the hostile planet at any cost! Tell your friends, wishlist the game and leave us a review. It will help us a lot and show if we’re on the right track. Many thanks!⚔️🙌

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?

Hi #PitchYaGame!

Coloniser is a massive persistent online RTS where survival is key. Progress through eras, forge alliances, engage in large-scale warfare!⚔️

👥 Up to 90 players
🌍 Matches that can last 90 days
🪖 Higher number of controllable units
♾ It's like Age of Empires 2 x Rust

And this is after we applied "brushstrokes" feeling from tree's shader. We also reduced pastel tones and added color variations along with a bit of noise. this is the final result (so far)! What says you?

We were trying to achieve better results from the texture side first, and then we planned to do more improvements with the actual shader work.

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

The only thing we had to do is add bit texturing to them and it looks miles better now! Don't you agree?

Give us a follow if you want to join us on this journey and try our game. Thanks!🤗

Here is how it looked in the game. Nice! However, a bit too clean.

The idea is that it is a blockade - your units have to find different path. So our 3d artist design some sharp stones. This gave additional depth to the ground.

Our original design was functional, but not clear enough. While the color represented different land type, it was not clear if you could move your units there or even slide them on this land type.

Here is how we updated our cliff edges in our game. The terrain is big part of RTS game and we need to make it as pretty as possible while giving clarity to it
