What is Colonies?
A cross between creativity, horror, and adventure, Colonies aims to be an ORPG like no other. Settle, create a village, and defend your friends from the horrible creatures who lurk in the forests. You can change the landscape, farm, or hunt in order to survive the conditions-- it's all up to you.
How can I play?
Colonies is currently in its closed Alpha 1.0 stage. You can download alpha here (our temporary forum). Please register on the forums so we can track bugs and errors :)
What features are planned?
-An ever-changing world shaped purely by the players
-Villages created and governed by the players themselves
-Basic jobs, like farming, mining, fishing, woodworking, cloth working, and cooking
-Advanced building, allowing you to make a personalized home for your needs and profession
-A simplified stats system, reducing grind and improving players' experiences
-Skill-based combat (no more button bashing or complex combat systems!)
-Diplomacy amongst villages and villagers
-Children and Family NPCs (spawned based on your stats and living conditions)
-Pets and farm animals
What platforms will Colonies be available on?
At the moment, Colonies is only available on Windows (XP, Vista, Win7, and Win8 successfully tested). After our early testing phases, we aim to have a solid build out for everyone to enjoy, including those on MacOS and Linux. Please be patient-- we want everyone to play ASAP!
Who are the developers?
Jungletoe (Programming), ICT (Pixel Art), LegendWeaver (GUI Art), and Allen Calmes (Music). We're informally part of the development group Giraffes. Colonies is currently our main project.

Statistics
the games look very promising :D
what a shame that the alpha server is closed :C i'm looking forward to try it when possible :D
It's up now. It occasionally goes down, sorry :(
Looks very interesting,very excited for a download or beta that i can try and get in ;) tracking and cant wait to see more!
Thank you :)
This game is starting to seem like Don't Starve, if it was a Multiplayer game.
Like, the feel seems similar. Like Minecraft and Terraria, but more in-detail like Don't Starve.
That's what I'm going for. A simple, yet detailed sandbox survival game.
Awesome! nothing else to say but awesome! xD
cant wait to play this awesome game. XD look great! ^^ keep up the good work,
Haha! Very cool! Games with murdering people in their sleep PVP! Not enough of those! I like a lot of what your going for. The choice to move away from a complicated combat system goes strongly against my tastes, and you have a really good set up to so something tactical, but everything else may eventually get me interested in this project anyways. Good luck!
I'm reworking the combat system a bit. I don't like it being "too simple", but too complex confuses people and takes away from the base elements of the game IMO.
Thanks :)
