Yeah, Colonies Online as it is now is done for. Best option for developers would be to sell out the whole package - the promising idea, nishe and challenging gameplay, even the convenient and simple controls - everything they managed to throw down the drain, for someone interested to pick up where they left off and release this game under different name. The development pace is slow - and I mean pregnant, sick and shot, twise, from a .45 Desert Eagle turtle slow. The community (aka clientele) of this game was trying to make a difference at some point, now it's inexistent.

Note that I've spent quite a lot of time in this game. I've clawed my way through UI designed to annoy, glitchy missions and haywire economics (getting changed on a whim whenever developers felt like). I've built numerous bases. Made numerous suggestions. Waited numerous months for this to become something playable.

A year ago I'd recommend this game to go FTP and work up some customers over time. Now I recommend to Steam community: forget it's even here. DO NOT BUY under any circumstances. The project is dead.
