Note - This thread was originally posted at the old forum here. All new submissions will need to be made here in the new forum.
As of v0.43.0, My Colony now contains in-game links to video tutorials posted on the web. These are community-made videos, not necessarily videos produced by myself.
If you have a YouTube channel and would like your video to be linked in-game, post it here and if I like it I will add it to the listing. This should be a pretty good way to gain exposure and viewers for your YouTube channel, since the videos will have a pretty high visibility within the game. Plus it will help new players to the game and hopefully answer some of the common questions that come to the forum.
Videos should have a somewhat specific scope, so that users can find information on a specific topic. There probably doesn't need to be a bunch of videos on the same thing (how many 'getting started on a red planet' videos are necessary?).
I know there are a bunch on YouTube already, but I don't want to put them into the game without explicit permission from the authors.
I should add that the videos cannot contain any inappropriate language, because of the apps maturity rating in the app store.
For consideration of being added into the game, all video tutorials must be submitted here on this thread. Please include a brief description on what your video is about. Thank you!

So I was looking at the website BitChute the other day, which is sort of like a poor mans' YouTube except that videos are streamed peer to peer using Bit Torrent (WebTorrent actually), and I started looking into how they developed the tech to serve all of their videos peer to peer, and it looked like it would actually be fairly easy to implement, and so today I went ahead and did it.
So going forward, any audio or video files attached to a post in the forums will still be hosted on the server as normal, but will also distribute peer to peer in order to cut down on server bandwidth.
Now generally this isn't a very big deal, as there are almost no videos posted here to the site. However it does add some cool capabilities to the site, which I will finish implementing with the next day or so. With a little more work, the same tech used to host forum-posted videos peer to peer will also allow users to live-stream their My Colony (or other games) play sessions right to their Ape Apps profile page, or even host a live web cam stream, or a group chat similar to Google Hangouts. There are really quite a few possibilities. You should also be able to embed an entire movie into your post using a Bit Torrent magnet link, but I will have to create a new forum tag for that.
Anyway, its a new feature that doesn't seem that interesting at first, but long term can add a lot of new features and possibilities to both the website, and to the different games.

It's been like this since .48

Voxel Playground, the companion app to Voxel Paint that you can use to stage and test your .vpp creations, has been moved to a new domain (https://playground.voxelpaint.online/) and revamped with a new interface overhaul and new features, with several more features to come in the not-too-distant future! Let's take a look at what is new with Voxel Playground.
The most obvious change is the URL move off of Ape Web Apps and on to the new voxelpaint.online domain, which will soon be hosting the core Voxel Paint app as well. I think that long term this change will be better for both products, and it more accurately highlights how they are a part of the same overall package.
Voxel Playground is now completely installable as a PWA, and doing so will allow the app to become a file handler for the new Voxel Playground Project (*.vpg) file type. Since there is now a file type and file association, that obviously points to the next feature of the app, which is that you can now save and load your projects.
Importing content is now super easy in Voxel Playground. You can either click on the (+) icon on the left sidebar, or you can simply drag/drop your voxel files right into the Voxel Playground window. Voxel Playground supports .vpp, .vox and image files.
The next new feature to Voxel Playground is scenes. The Scenes button is to the right of the File menu icon on the top toolbar. A project can now contain multiple scenes that all share from the same asset pool. You can rename, delete and even clone scenes. This makes it easier to create a larger project full of scenes that share the same general theme.
The last new feature is the new Video Recorder! In addition to the regular camera tool that was already included with Voxel Playground, you can now record a video of your scene and export it to your filesystem. This is a cool feature to play with right now, but it will be even cooler in the future.
Coming Soon
I mentioned that there is more to come in the future for Voxel Playground. As you may know, My Colony 2 will be coming to Steam later this year, and one of the requirements for Steam distribution is to have one or more promo videos for your game. I have a cool idea for a My Colony 2 trailer that begins with a small cinematic scene before showing off some gameplay footage, and Voxel Playground is the tool that I am building up in order to be able to make that video.
To that end, the next updates are going to add some key features that will be necessary to make cool voxel based short films. First, you need to be able to edit the terrain, both color/texture and elevation, so Voxel Playground will be getting a proper terrain editor. Next, there needs to be some basic scripting tools for animating your voxel objects. You also need to be able to edit/manipulate objects after they have been placed in a scene. Also, Voxel Playground should play all of the effects that you can add to Voxel Models in Voxel Paint (such as the smoke effect, etc).
So that is what is new and what is coming soon to Voxel Playground. It has been bumped up a bit on the priority list so that I can get that promo video made for MC2 in time for steam, but with the changes coming due to that, it should be a really need tool for creating neat little independent voxel based videos. So check it out, let me know what you thing, give suggestions if you have anything you want to see added, and stay tuned for more!

Please let me know if there is a better section of the forum to post.
I discovered your videos when searching for reviews of an Intel NUC for sale by a popular vendor. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI69cU_UCak ) Your video was extremely helpful, and I hope you can do periodic updates on that model.
It seems to me that most of the hardware vendors these days name or number there products in ways that make it extremely hard to keep track of one model from the next, or even what operating system is included with the hardware, if any. So Model ABC1, reviewed perhaps on Amazon and elsewhere, is said to have problems outputting video on its HDMI port, but Model ABC2, perhaps a year newer, may have addressed that problem. Amazon and many of the other sellers don't help by mixing promotions for 'a thousand' other products that come up when you're searching for Model ABC1 or 2. And to add to the confusion, the hardware you're looking to evaluate is often not sold by Amazon, Walmart, or others directly, but by third party sellers.
So a review like Brandon's, that comes with a name (and face) is greatly appreciated.

Still crashing when I try to view the videos from the emporer even with the .50 update
Also on a side note I lost my millions due to the crashing and the game restarting and coming up with the mandatory tax.
Also on a side note I lost my millions due to the crashing and the game restarting and coming up with the mandatory tax.
It could also mean that the windows ad network has no videos available. I still need to put in some sort of check to make sure there is actually a video available to watch before giving the galactic emperor message.
ceenglish1 said:help please. I cant get the videos to come up or play! any ideas?
Turn off ad blocker
I Bought the no adds but I cant watch the video to get the promised gift please fix.
If you aren't offered a video to watch, there may not be one available for your area or you may need to turn off your ad-blocker.
I hope everybody had a good new year. I am now ready to get back into the full swing of My Colony development, and what better way to start things out then with the Reptilians Update Part 1! There are actually several new changes in this release too, so let's take a look:
My Colony v0.53.0 Changelog
New Stuff
The biggest outward-facing change in this update is the new civ, the Alpha Draconians. They are in the early stages, but expect them to ramp up alot faster than the Insectoids (because of the art style, it takes me way longer to make Insectoid graphics).
So the Reptilians are a very high-tech species, and start off the game with many of the things that the other civs can only dream about at the beginning. They are also a brutal, evil, and warlike people. Their homeworld is near Zolarg Prime, and they regularly abduct and enslave poor Insectoids to work their colonies for them. That is nothing compared to what they do to the humans though, but that is for another update!
Unlike Insectoid colonies, the Reptilians require very few civilians, so expect the colonies to have very high GDP/Capita ratios. There isn't a whole lot to do with the Reptilians yet, and the Lava World isn't completely playable with them, but go ahead and check it out. There is a whole lot more coming soon.
Now for the other new feature, Local Multiplayer.
Local Multiplayer is currently very experimental, and as of right now it is only available on Android, iOS, and Native Client. Ironically, it works the best on the Windows Store app, but Windows Store security policies would not allow me to submit the app using both a webview and private networking, so I had to remove it after it got rejected and the feature may never come to Windows Store.
For Web users, I am currently working on a Desktop application called the Ape Web Apps Desktop Bridge which will allow Web clients to use both LAN play and saving your files directly to the local file system, but it's not ready for release yet. Possibly next week.
So in theory, to use the Local Multiplayer, you don't have to do anything special. If you are playing on your Android and another Android, iPhone, or Native Client user opens one of their colonies, you should just get a notification that another colony has come online, like the current Commonwealth notifications for online play. You can then send messages/resources back and forth the normal way, using the Consulate, Capitol, or the little Communications buildings. Keep in mind this is for Local (offline) games only.
I say 'in theory' because I have only tested it out on my own home network, and I only have so many devices to test it on. So your mileage may vary. Let me know how it goes!
For online games, the in-game commonwealth chat is there, and is accessed by a orange chat icon on the bottom right of the screen. It's pretty self-explanatory. Requires an Ape Apps Account.
Speaking of Ape Apps Account, if you sign in, it should now sync your in-app purchases across all platforms now, but this is also experimental, it might take me a couple of updates to get it working right. 🙂
So that's about it for this update, unless I forgot something. The next few updates will be bug fixes, performance improvements, and Reptilians. As I said the Reptilians will fill out a lot faster than the Zolarg, as I am still not even done with the Zolarg (but I'll get there someday)! Let me know what you think of the update, and stay tuned for more!
My Colony v0.53.0 Changelog
New Stuff
- New Race/Civilization: Alpha Draconians (the Reptilians)
- New Map: Desert World
- New Unit: Construction Probe
- New Structures: Microreactor, Powered Materials Silo, Slave Gate, Antanium Impactor, Microcondenser, Automated Hydroponics Lab, Basic Den, Medium Range Star Gate
- New ad-free Content: Draconian Pavement, Fair Warning, Family Den
- Offline (local) multiplayer (on select devices, see more below)
- In-game commonwealth chat (requires Ape Apps account)
- Facebook has been removed from the game. R.I.P. Facebook.
- Starting a new online game now requires an Ape Apps Account. Existing games do not need one yet, but they will on the next update, so this is a fair heads up.
- Increased the rate that colonists age, so they are not 24 forever.
- The Galactic Emperor rewarded videos should now only give "good" resources.
- Offline mode renamed to Local mode to reflect the fact that it can have it's own multiplayer now too
- Slight UI changes on the iPhone X to account for the 'notch' and rounded corners.
So the Reptilians are a very high-tech species, and start off the game with many of the things that the other civs can only dream about at the beginning. They are also a brutal, evil, and warlike people. Their homeworld is near Zolarg Prime, and they regularly abduct and enslave poor Insectoids to work their colonies for them.

I will try to add some tut videos when i can but this is all i can do for now.
I'm used to working in 2d and iso with my job so it's not bad, the part i find taxing is making them so small when it's 64x64.
Each graphic in the game has it's own pixel dimensions which are displayed in the override window area in the mod section of the game just under the buildings name header so as long as your graphic fits the dimensions stated it will work .
To get things to fit accurately for floor tiling so there are no gaps and floating graphics i fit my graphics tight to the bottom of my artboard and stretched to fit snug at the sides such as the bridges i just created which i'll add as a mod next.

bastecklein said:Thanks @jova . And @DillGuy9 if everything goes good with Antiquitas then I will put My Colony on Steam also. I am just testing the waters to see how much of a hassle it is, and if it is worth all of the work.check out blender, it is an all in one software that allows you to edit videos, make 3d games, 2d animations and more. it is recently getting a major overhaul which will make it the first professional grade 3d software to be 100 percent free. it might be useful for creating a new my colony trailer for steam.
I'm having the exact same problem, though mine lasts a minute or two.
Playing a video over the network, click a video file and it plays. After a short while, the video stops and Network Browser shows the connect menu again.
Tested playing videos with VLC and stock video player on Note 9.

My Colony v0.76.0

I get the message from the Galactic Emperor and click to watch the video, and the window opens but the video doesn't play, showing the video thumbnail with the large red and white play button. When I click it, the windows closes and I'm reminded to watch the full video to get the reward.

I dont know i have not played as a zolarg race before but i have seen videos in windows population increses once the mound is built but in my andriod device the population is stand still at 2. Whenever i open the statistics it shows NaN for all job vacancy and houses.. I dont know what is the problem
I don't believe my internet was a factor, it's a direct connection to the line and I seamlessly stream videos and play multiplayer games all the time on it. I mean it could be that there was a hiccup right as it was saving once but I couldn't say.
Definitely suggest looking into OBS(open broadcast software) for the videos it let's you adjust game and voice levels lol
For the last few weeks I have been working on a brand new project, which is why things have been slower than normal on the My Colony front. Now that I have a lot of the base engine work done, I will have more time to get My Colony updated, but today I wanted to share a sneak preview of a new game I have started that will be coming out sometime this year.
This game is being built from a modified/improved version of the Death 3d engine, but with additions such as NPC/character interactions and dialog and a "continuous world" model with no level breaks or loading screens. I have also created a procedural dungeon generator for the game to help me create more content, and I might make some "making of" type videos as I progress in the project.
I am designing this game somewhat as an RPG. There is a main storyline, but also side quests you can do, and the game is going to be filled with a ton of story and lore. This is my first game where I actually wrote down the backstory before hand so that I can have a somewhat cohesive world history and character development.
I am also going to be recording a ton of dialog for the game. I have already recorded around 100 clips and I'm still at the beginning stages of the game. And if anybody in the community is interested in lending their voice to the game, you can let me know. I'd love to have more voice actors than just myself and my wife!
The game will feature multiple towns connected by an over-world and tons of dungeons and caves to explore with secrets everywhere. I am using the game Morrowind as an inspiration, although obviously I am just one guy so it wont be as big as that game, lol. I probably am not going to have a lot of stat and inventory management in the game, more like story+quests+action+somewhat open world.
Most games I make I just create a small concept and then release them, and then develop them further based on user feedback. On this one I plan to make the entire game before releasing. I plan to release to Desktop (including Steam), Ape Web Apps/Ape Launcher and Android. Maybe iOS, depending on how it turns out. Game will be paid/premium only on all platforms except for Web, which will allow you to play the first few dungeons for free without requiring premium. I don't plan on having any advertising at all, or micro-transactions of any sort. Mobile advertising is basically dead at this point, and in June it is going away from the Windows Store completely, so I am no longer going to be using the advertising business model for any new projects.
So that's what I've been working on. Stay tuned for more info/details!

Hello guys!
This post will put the focus on the service structures and accomodations of Alpha Draconians.
Deep Town
A larger slum which ithas underground hydroponic farms and water pumps, supplying water and food. The production requires labour.
Draconian Manor
Thinking about an 2×2 building for a Reptilian clan like, 120 person.
Sky Deck Arena
An upgrade of Suppertime Arena.
Public Rum Tap
Like what a pub do. It hires no workers, there are extra space for serving people, comparied to other pubs.
Draconian Internet Hub
Bandwidth-utilizing entertainment.
Draconain Travelling Agency
Basically a starport for purely entertainment use.
Doorlock Control Hub
Imprisoning now only needs their homes, and a 1×1 structure like this. Can lock up up to 100 doors.
Statue of ‘One Above All’
A decorative landmark.
Court of Absolute Orders
Better security structure.
Court of Ultimate Punishments
Even stronger security building.
Torture Theatre
Description will be left for your imagination. It’ll be cruel... I really don’t understand how the reptilians takes torturments as entertainment.
Tortures both slaves and criminals in front of the general public.
This post will put the focus on the service structures and accomodations of Alpha Draconians.
Deep Town
In reptilian colonies, any large subterranean slums can be called as Deep Towns. While providing a massive amount of dirt cheap public housing for the immigrants, it also encourages the dwellers to be self suffucient on food and water.
A larger slum which ithas underground hydroponic farms and water pumps, supplying water and food. The production requires labour.
Draconian Manor
A gorgeously decorated and designed housing for the entire high class family clan - having a clan is a superior right to the nobleman class. You can almost get everything you ned here, in this manor, multiple entertainment rooms and medical chambers are installed for all your personal needs.
Thinking about an 2×2 building for a Reptilian clan like, 120 person.
Sky Deck Arena
A larger Reptilian community cannot goes without better entertainment. Here, in this hovering Sky Deck Arena. While you’re enjoying the fights between xenobeasts and slaves at your seat safely, this place is supplied with non-limited supply of rum and food - Now an entry ticket only costs for a modest price of $10.
An upgrade of Suppertime Arena.
Public Rum Tap
In Alpha Draconia, automation is the fashion - This Public Rum Tap will immediately fill your cup with quality rum after inserting the fee into the machine. Rums are sold at a very accuate, (rarely) fair price, according to the quality checked daily by the high-end devices.
Like what a pub do. It hires no workers, there are extra space for serving people, comparied to other pubs.
Draconian Internet Hub
A open-air internet hub for your people having fun with online videos and games.
Bandwidth-utilizing entertainment.
Draconain Travelling Agency
Ever wished to go on an interstellar trip without costing too much? Here you are! Now, at a very, very economical cost, you are able to enjoy one-way trip to anywhere in the Galaxy! Insurence not included.
Basically a starport for purely entertainment use.
Doorlock Control Hub
A remote global doorlock controling device, for implementing home arrests as immidiate as within seconds. No way the prisoners should be able to escape from their homes - the doors, the vents, windows (and refrigerators), are all locked. What awaits will be punishments from Punisher Drones.
Imprisoning now only needs their homes, and a 1×1 structure like this. Can lock up up to 100 doors.
Statue of ‘One Above All’
A massive statue for no purpose but cult of personality. Praise our Overlords!
A decorative landmark.
Court of Absolute Orders
The perfect example of flawless law enforcement can be reflected through this Court of Abosolute Orders. Because the most important law is, never go against what a arbiter said.
Better security structure.
Court of Ultimate Punishments
“People who had been there were never seen again... maybe not, at the next day people will see a terrible stranger face that nobody recognize.. probably have survived from the most horrible punishments.”
Even stronger security building.
Torture Theatre
Description will be left for your imagination. It’ll be cruel... I really don’t understand how the reptilians takes torturments as entertainment.

Hi, I'm currently using Network Browser on FireTv (2nd gen) I have personal samba network to stream movies, I have successfully configured everything sadly the only problem is I can't use any other app to launch the video files, I have vlc and other media players installed by as soon as I hit play it starts playing using the internal video player, despite setting 'use other player' from the menu. Otherwise please add subtitles facilities in the inbuilt video player which would be great addition instead! And users will be satisfied with inbuilt player itself.
@biswadeepmondal
You should be able to use an external video player by going to Settings on the sidebar, there is a video player option.
Beyond that, I believe pressing the Menu button on the remote should toggle through subtitle tracks on the in-built player.

I am going to be publishing a series over the coming weeks on how to make Death 3d maps. All videos will be linked from here, starting with Part 1:
The other day I was telling my son about the Virtual Boy, which was an old Nintendo console I had when I was a kid, and I decided to see if there were any emulators available. I found one on Google Play that said it supported the Google Cardboard headset. I had a Google Cardboard headset a few years ago, but I couldn't find it anymore, so I went on Amazon and saw that the market is now flooded with tons of cheap phone VR headsets. These are headsets that you insert your phone into that allow you to watch 3d content or play 3d games. YouTube for instance supports these headsets and even has some neat 360 degree VR videos available.
So anyway, I was determined to recreate the old Virtual Boy experience, so I picked up the following headset on Amazon:
This thing was under $30 and it worked pretty well on YouTube and the Virtual Boy emulator (although I had problems mapping all of the controls in the emulator to my gamepad), but the experience got me thinking - what if I could make this work with Death 3d? So I did a bit of research, got to coding, and within an hour or so I had this going on:
Above is my initial experimental work on the new VR mode for Death 3d! This is in the very early stages, but I do have the 3d effect working reasonably well at this point. I still need to rework the entire UI to support VR mode though, and playing in VR mode does require a bluetooth gamepad. But this new experimental VR mode will be shipping in the upcoming v0.17.0 update to Death 3d, and should be playing on either an Android or iPhone device using either a Google Cardboard type device, or something similar to what I posted above.
So anyway, I will write more on the new VR mode once the update is complete, and I might even do a My Colony Podcast episode over it. It's still a cool effect though, and a fun way to make you feel like you are really escaping from the prison on Lunar 3!

@stupidsilentandas I literally have a project on my workstation called "Token Animator" that was intended to allow you to basically record a video/cartoon of sorts using My Tokens characters. I was going to use it to make a My Colony universe themed series of short videos. I just never got around to working on it :-/
A couple of months ago, I announced that I would begin phasing out Web App Core, the cross-platform app wrapper I have been developing and using since around 2012. I have been making this change due to the fact that Progressive Web Apps (PWA) have now become the primary development target for Ape Apps, and their capabilities have reached the point to where using a big, heavy and bloated app wrapper like Web App Core is no longer a necessity. In addition, many of the features of PWA's work better when each app is hosted on its own domain or subdomain, as opposed to having every single app hosted on the same address like Ape Web Apps currently does. So this migration away from Web App Core/Ape Web Apps and towards individual domains has been a slow one and has taken up a lot of my time over the last couple of months, but progress is being made, and the next title on the migration list is none other than the long-in development game Colony Wars!
As of today, Colony Wars can now be accessed from it's new URL on the main My Colony Universe website: https://wars.my-colony.com. I think it is now almost up to fully functional from its previous release on Ape Web Apps, minus the Map Editor which I am still converting off of Web App Core. Out of all of the titles I have already moved off of Web App Core, Colony Wars has been the most difficult, as it utilized nearly the entire suite of Web App Core provided functions. I hope to have the conversion fully completed by the end of the week.
This conversion will bring Colony Wars up to v0.8.0. The primary changes in this release will be (obviously) the migration off of Web App Core, but also some new features as well. I have added a new Skirmish option, which will allow you to more quickly launch an offline battle VS the AI players without first going through the online multiplayer lobby. I am also adding an even faster Quick Match option, which will immediately put you into an offline Skirmish match on a random map with AI players already set up. There are also some bugs/UI issues that will be cleaned up that have been on the to-do list for ages now.
Beyond v0.8.0, I am planning to bring Colony Wars back to life off of the back-burner. Spending some time playing old school Command and Conquer with my son as convinced me that Colony Wars needs to be completed. Beyond new units, buildings, and maps which are all needed, I also need to start working on the single player Campaign. I want to have cheesy cut scene videos like in old Command and Conquer games, although I am not going to be hiring actors and doing any filming. I think I am going to render all of the cutscenes using Death 3D, creating characters using My Tokens and scenes with the Death 3D map editor. I have begun scripting out the story, which takes place in the year 2083 and begins with the LIS declaring independence and ambushing the United Earth Space Marines detachment on Terra Nova. Chronologically, the Colony Wars story takes place about a year before the events of Death 3D, and about a decade or so after the events of the Deimos trilogy.
So anyway, that is a look at what is coming down the pike for Colony Wars. If you want to check it out at it's new domain while it is still being worked on, you can access the site using the beta URL parameter to prevent it from activating it's service worker and caching the in-development code: https://wars.my-colony.com/?beta=1
