@suzywillow @rrhoover one of those things the productive side of my brain is not happy I discovered, but the Catan side definitely is

@gagan_biyani That means we got more work to do on SEO and marketing side of things

Hey there Product Hunt! I am excited to tell you about Colonist, the 2nd game I have developed alongside my brother @demirbyilmaz. We started working on Colonist in 2018 because we wanted to play Catan with our family. None of the online versions were really playable, so, like any programmer would have done, we built our own! Since then, we have worked tirelessly to create the best gameplay experience possible. Over time, we have grown and improved our player experience, and at this point, it is clear that Colonist is ready to become a staple in online strategy gaming. This is why we are proud to officially announce Ranked Mode and a Leaderboard system for Colonist! Competing in Ranked is easy: 1. Navigate to https://colonist.io/, click Play, and select either “Ranked 4P” or “Ranked 1v1” 2. Play in 10 placement games to establish your Matchmaking Ranking (MMR) 3. After your placement games, you will be placed in matches against players with similar MMR. Fight to move your way up the leaderboard! In the future, we plan to have prizes for top finishers and create a ladder-like league with divisions. In the meantime, we crave feedback and would love to hear about all of your experiences playing on our site. Please let us know what you think in the comments. May your roads be long and your armies large, Goktug Yilmaz

@demirbyilmaz @esqarrouth Colonist fanatic here, thank you for the work you do!

Big fan! I've been really enjoying the Ranked 1v1 mode. On a separate note, I really wish there were keyboard shortcuts for things like rolling the dice.

@cansu_aydede Thanks for playing! We're actually working on keyboard shortcuts for the upcoming version, there is a poll in our discord about how it should be designed, feel free to hop in and provide your feedback: https://ptb.discord.com/channels...
Alex Bruski
@cansu_aydede Someone built a plug-in that gives you keyboard shortcuts. If you search the Colonist.io discord channel, you can probably find the link.

Such a polished experience! A group of friends and I switched from board Catan to Colonist during lockdowns and it's stuck as we move cities IRL

@tedspare Thanks for playing! Yeah, we got a lot of players in the same physical space opting into playing online instead of the board game because it is a more easier experience.
