ROKH Development Status

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. Its 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!

ROKH is a futuristic survival game, deeply rooted in scientific and realistic anticipation.

Players will have to work together to overcome the many threats they will have to face on planet Mars.

Created by team members behind Thief, Half Life 2, Dishonored, Age of Conan and Assassin’s Creed, ROKH is an adaptive survival game that is built on top of Unreal Engine 4 and deeply rooted in science. Players will land on Mars to find that the previously developed human colonies have been decimated and they must work together to overcome and survive. ROKH features a persistent world and co-op multiplayer.

In ROKH, players explore the Martian landscape as they scavenge through the deserted structures to gather the resources they need in order to survive. With few blueprints, they must use their ingenuity to create tools from a variety of materials and construct their own encampments with no design limitations - giving new meaning to “Assembly Required.”

ROKH is a complete immersion into a cold and dry land that harbors a wealth of resources to extract and exploit. Players will explore Mars, paving the way for settlers to come, as Earth’s resources are tapped and the planet is dying. Mars is hostile and joining forces with friends increases efficiency and invites trade and barter to develop a habitable, yet, customized ecosystem. ROKH is a mix of crafting, survival and exploration with an overarching story, that allows to freeform and build a colony how they want.

Early Access Key Features

TILE-BASED ASSEMBLY
ROKH features tile-based assembly inviting you to design and construct your habitat the way you want. Build on your own or work with others to create a fully customized, massive Martian colony. Clever builders will ensure their structures can support future add-ons to maximize resources.

ADAPTIVE SURVIVAL
Each and every one of your moves serves one goal: survive! You will need oxygen, food and water, and to protect yourself from heat, cold, radiation and injury. While Mars offers some accessible resources, you will need to be adaptive and creative to properly develop your colony.

A BEAUTIFUL AND DEADLY PLANET
Through Unreal Engine 4’s visual capabilities, you will explore the wonders of the red planet. From majestic dunes, biomes, crash sites, abandoned bases and frightening and deep valleys, you will visit a variety locations to find life-saving resources and uncover the mysterious demise of the first colonists. Mars is deadly and being outside on a frozen night or stuck in a sandstorm can lead to fatal results.

FREEFORM CRAFTING AND MODULARITY
Instead of classic blueprints, ROKH’s crafting system is based on modularity. Devices, tools and weapons are craftable and customizable, but must also serve your needs. Some crafted devices can be socketed into your walls to automate tasks, provide heavier defense systems, increase survivability, provide creature comforts and much more.
