ROKH Development Status

Hello Colonists, Together with Red Kite Games, we have been digging deep into the project over the past 4 weeks. Our primary focus on the network side has been building and running local servers to track down issues – building up our knowledge of the codebase and understanding the server architecture. We have produced the build of both client and server (in various build configurations) that can connect to each other and can attach a debugger to reproduce errors and identify our own. We have also dug into some of the main issues – including:

The game crashes at resume when spending a larger amount of time in the server lobby.
Game engine crashed after spending several minutes in the screen.
The game crashed while exploring the map.
The game freezes when using “Alt + Tab” keys to switch to another program.

We also retrieved some of the latest logs from GPortal and we have identified new potential problem areas within the game which we started to look into in further detail. Finally part of the team spent some time to improve the development status of the build. For instance, initially, the time to build the project was about the 90 min. It has now been reduced to 45 min and still generates a logs file of 250Mb full of ‘warnings” for us to correct. This will help us greatly to increase our build generation and testing process. We will have a first test build available for our NDA group of testers at the end of next week. While you guys will test and report bugs, we will finish to draft our roadmap of correction and tests for the month of December. Thank you all for your amazing support and patience. We still believe heavily on ROKH and on its potential to becoming the tremendous game we envision. Make sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and join our Discord to stay tuned for the latest news!

Release

Indie Strategy RPG Adventure Simulation MMO Singleplayer Multiplayer Coop EA

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.
