Hello Colonists,

Sorry it's taken us a while to bring you a situation update but we needed to make sure various things were in place.

We wanted to share with you today fresh news from the front. Our QA first pass was completed last week. With over 200 hours of intense and professional testing, we have now a better vision of the work to achieve to provide you all with a better and more stable experience.

The QA team has identified and documented more than 100 new critical and major bugs. 50% are linked to connectivity and stability, and 50% are more functional and linked to gameplay features implementation. All the bugs and logs you have been sharing with us have been checked and double checked. Some are now documented, some are still too hard to replicate to be documented properly. With the next pass of QA, we will continue to investigate.

So what is next?

Now can start a major fixing campaign.
The contract between our subsidiary Colony Production Limited (CPL) and Nvizzio has been terminated.
We’ve decided to find new teams with an expertise in product such as ROKH and with a pedigree in fixing games. In the industry, we call them “Game doctors”. Appropriate to the situation, isn’t it? :) We will introduce them properly to you guys in an upcoming announcement.

Therefore, we will have 2 differents teams each working on a specific aspect: gameplay or online. Each team is currently reviewing and planning their roadmap based on the QA report. Once we have that, we will be able to give you guys more visibility on when you will see changes in the game. We are aware that it’s not pleasant to be kept in the dark but that’s unfortunately inevitable during some steps in the process of game development where things are moving.

The external QA team will be reviewing each internal build for regression testing and make sure that no new bugs have been introduced and document them if it happens. When QA will greenlight a build for live, we will deploy it first on a live test server, then push it live for you all. The process to grant all of you access to the live test server is currently being define. We will share it with you in due time, with the first test build deployment.

Thank you all for your great support. See you all soon back on Mars.

ROKH Dev Team
