IOTD: Colony remake
Colony remake
Colony remake, by Raymond Jekabson

Hello,

Here's a pic of a game I've been working on, a remake of Mastertronic's Colony. I'm aiming to make it true to the original, whilst improving the control system and graphics/sound. I will probably add a few new features too. It's the first game I've written using C, and also Allegro. The last game I wrote was in AMOS on the Amiga, so don't expect miracles, heh.

Still got a way to go with the graphics, and few gameplay things haven't been completed yet, (oh, and there's no sound) but it's getting there :)
Man, that looks awesome! Do you have a demo for us to try? I like the cartoony style of the graphics. I'm not familiar with Colony, what type of game is it? - Pravit
I love the art style :) - Zaphos
Thanks for the positive feedback :) I will probably put a demo up sometime soon, just really want to get all the basic gameplay elements in there first.

The idea of the game is basically to protect your compound from aliens (the ants) and harvest the mushrooms that grow to make money. You do this by putting up fences, laying down mines etc. If the ants get in, they will start eating away at all your mushrooms. - Raymond Jekabson
Sounds a bit like Rampart :) - Archon
Well, the graphics is really nice and original, i'd like to see it moving :) - Pavel Hilser
