[h3]The Colony: New Haven Chronicles is officially joining forces with indie.io!

As a game enthusiast first and developer second, I spend the majority of my time honing my skills in game design, mechanics, and every aspect of creating the games which I love to play. However, creating games is just the beginning. There are many other facets where support is invaluable, such as increasing game visibility, conducting quality and more. This is where our partnership with indie.io comes in.

For those of you who may not know, working with a game publishing platform like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, indie.io helps in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with alone.

I chose indie.io because other developers they’ve worked with have said great things about them. Their dedication to supporting indie creators is unmatched, and I’m excited about the opportunities this partnership will bring to The Colony: New Haven Chronicles.

Don’t forget to wishlist the game and stay tuned for more updates as we take The Colony: New Haven Chronicles to new heights together!

The Colony Lore: Iris

So who is Iris: Iris stands for "Integrated Remote Intelligence System". Iris is an advanced AI system implanted into the protagonist’s head, designed to assist and enhance your abilities such as strength, endurance and even improve your odds in luck.

Origin: Iris was developed by Dr. Elara Vega, a brilliant scientist who foresaw the need for a reliable AI companion to aid in the colony’s survival. The system was initially intended for high-ranking officials but was later adapted for broader use, although in a prototype phase.

Integration: The protagonist received Iris during a critical moment, possibly as a last-ditch effort to save their life or enhance their capabilities in response to an imminent threat.

Companion: Beyond functional support, Iris serves as a constant companion, making the protagonist’s solitary journey feel less lonely and more engaging.
