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
just awkwardly addictive. been playing this since early pandemic. glad to see it is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Awesome job with the launch guys. Can't wait to see what you come up with next - keep up the good work!
I love Settlers of Catan and when i discovered this during the pandemic it quickly became a fun activity that I still do with coworkers and family and friends regularly!
@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.
Been playing this for a while both online, vs computer, and can totally vouch for it, my only suggestion will be to have a few of the non classic maps, modes available for free as well because they seem quite fun!
@kshitij_malhotra Glad you enjoy! Thank you for the suggestion, there is often a free map available so you should check that out, right now it's Volcano which is a personal favorite.
@benjamin_fine Thanks for playing! Ranked 1v1 is recently my favorite mode to play too!
@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
