Hello Colonists,

We wanted to share with you today what has happened over the past few weeks on the project. As mentioned in our last project update, 2 teams were investigating the source code of ROKH to establish a fixing roadmap. It turned out that the project we had access to was incomplete. We had to enter in a legal dispute with our former development partner to get the latest version of the project source code as well as all available material of the project (engine, assets, documentation).

As you can imagine, it was not a pleasant time and it put us very much behind in our schedule to get back to you, the community, with a first testable new version.
It’s been 2 weeks now since we received everything. This has allowed one of the teams involved in this new phase of the development, Red Kite Games, to thoroughly analyse the project. Red Kite Games, former Rockstar Games developers, was able to collect some info on the game. They will be starting the first milestone by refactoring the project to have it in a more stable state for development and fixing, as well as starting to fix some network issues. They are working on the code from the build 909, which is an internal build including the new UI/crafting path. We expect the Red Kite team to work on this milestone until the end of November and we will do our best to share with any progress and testable builds.

Then a second milestone will start to dig deeper into the gameplay bugs and optimization. After that, and depending on how the development went, we will work with them to define the next milestone (that might include some nice surprises for you guys).

Thank you all for your amazing support and patience. We still believe heavily on ROKH and on its potential to become the tremendous game we envision. Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and join our Discord to stay tuned for the latest news!
