    About The Colonists:
    The Colonists is a settlement building game inspired by classic titles like The Settlers and the Anno series.
    You take control of a team of self-replicating robots who have escaped from Earth and are searching the galaxy for a new home where they can fulfil their dream: to be human.
    You'll advance through three different Ages as you build infrastructure for your colony by constructing road, boat and train transport systems.
    Harvest natural resources, set up farming and food production, create expeditions to discover new lands and research new technologies.
    With two separate mission tracks, The Colonists lets either you create sprawling settlements in peace or race to compete against AI colonies in military winner-takes-all scenarios.
    Explore, research, manage, tweak and refine to your heart's content!

    The theme is so weird. It feels like they started out with a standard human-themed settlers-style game but at some point decided they needed to differentiate themselves so switched the main characters to robots (without changing any of the resources). Why do the robots need to sleep? Why eat meat? Why pick sheep for that meat when the wool is useless? If you can 3d print whole robots, why do you need a tool shop? It first glance, it just feels really jarring to me. Why wouldn't they produce little batteries for food? Why couldn't have have had the robots be vehicles for adorable carniverous space-gerbils or something? Having said all of that, the game looks really clean and fun so I guess it doesn't really matter... Still weird though. :) Nice video. Thanks for this and all the other ones you do.

    • @werehare
      @werehare 5 лет назад +1

      Hmmm... I have a theory: Created by humans, these robots are unable to really think for themselves and so, when they think "energy" they are stuck thinking about it in human terms. They have access to advanced technologies and have finally found a planet of their own on which to be free, but they are trapped by their own programming and are stuck living in the most inefficient way available to them. Kinda tragic. In hundreds of years, once they have finally broken their programming (and destroyed all humans), they will look back on this time as a dark period in their history: Thinking they are free but just mimicking the primitive humans they were so desperate to flee from. OK. I can stop thinking about this now! :D

    • @turtletime2955
      @turtletime2955 5 лет назад

      Late to the party, I know, but what if the humans designed the robots to run on meat? Stay with me. If they made them so they had no means of getting meat for themselves then they would be dependent on the humans, giving them full control. They also could have limited knowledge to further prevent them thinking that the humans are useless and that they can live on their own. Only when they became free from the humans did they learn how to gather meat.

    Oh! Interesting! And yes, it's always a good sign when a release date is pushed back. I'd 100% always rather wait for a game than get an unfinished one.
    The art is just GORGEOUS. Also, having to think ahead of time where you'll place things is intriguing. I kinda do that on my own b/c I'm a bit OCD w/base builder games like this, but I love that it's a mechanic of the game.

      Just as a Note here, while the Paths connecting to the roads are new, the roads themselves with the "flags" and carry bots between them, are not new, it's more or less a copy of the system from Settlers 1 and 2 :D (I just had to comment, as you compared the game to Settlers, and then commented the "Unique" road system) :p

    • @KatherineOfSky
      @KatherineOfSky  5 лет назад

    • @KatherineOfSky
      @KatherineOfSky  5 лет назад +9

      @Chadwick, in case you are not aware, food contains energy. It's a very novel idea that robots eat "normal" food, since most bots just work off of generic "energy" in games. It also fits very well with the story of the game, and in that it is quite charming.

    This game is super cute! I wish video games, indie and bigger titles, would move away from colonial mindsets though. This trend which has been present for at least the last 2 decades doesn't seem interested in acknowledging our very real and brutal history with colonialism and how it f*cked up our world. I enjoy playing these building/city planning/resource management games but I wish they opened up new doors on how to build/manage societies without destroying environments or native populations.
