It will soon be 11 years since Bot Colony was launched - that's a LONG time, and I don't know how many of you still remember the game. I thank everybody who played Bot Colony and gave us money and/or feedback, positive or negative. We worked on the game from 2009 to 2014, and at that time, Bot Colony was ahead of its time, technology-wise. We underestimated the project scope and had to part with 40 people from a team of 45. Those customers who saw the promise and became fans inspired us to keep going. We never gave up on Bot Colony and kept working on the game, with a much smaller team. This page just went up https://store.steampowered.com/app/3613080/Bot_Colony__redux/




Shortly, we plan to retire Bot Colony. We look forward to participating in the Steam Next Fest on June 9 with the free Bot Colony _redux demo. On June 16, we plan to kick off the closed beta by invitation. If you're interested in participating in the closed beta, please reach out - we'll need to budget servers for this event and invite you to our Discord. We'll work with Valve to enable all existing paying customers of Bot Colony to transition to Bot Colony _redux and receive a starting game currency allocation. Bot Colony _redux and/or the free demo require cloud resources to run. We have to pay for those resources. We hope Bot Colony _redux will provide a premium immersive experience worth paying for.

Thank you again for your support!

Hey everyone,

After long months of hard work, we can finally present to you The Demons Told Me to Make This Game - Public Demo!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3677220/The_Demons_Told_Me_to_Make_This_Game_Demo/

Dark rituals and Blood Sacrifices. Elder Gods and Eldritch Beasts. Demonic Possessions and Hive Minds.

The world is ending, and the only ones who can save it are a small group of exorcists—young, incompetent, and woefully ill-equipped for the task. They are bound to fail. It’s written. It’s inevitable.

It’s fortunate, then, that an entity capable of rewriting the written and averting the inevitable is on their side.

1. Loop 0: Of Tapes and Gums - complete Loop available;
   
2. Loop 1: Of Punks and Bees - Time Slot 1 available;

After playing this demo, you'll have a solid grasp of the game's feel and flow—as well as its setting and main characters.

We’d be incredibly grateful for your feedback on any aspect of the game.

Watch out for bees!

Knights, we're just 4 weeks away from our full launch: Monday, June 2nd, at 9am Eastern Standard Time.

Each week we'll be counting down and sharing some special info to help everyone get ready for launch. This week: a bit about us and ways to stay tuned for future projects.


My brother and I, Cory and Andrew Trese, have been making video games since 2011. We started in the early days of Google Play and transitioned to Steam-first in 2015, always dedicated to making deep, highly-replayable RPGs & strategy games.

Some great interviewers have gotten us talking more about how Trese Brothers Games has grown over the years; a couple of recent ones we recommend are this extensive written interview on Tom's Gaming Vault, and a fun video interview with strategy game streamer Sprigleaf.


It's challenging to be an indie studio without any outside investors but we've done it by prioritizing players, carefully scoping based on player feedback and what we know we can deliver on, and staying directly connected to our community through Steam forums and Discord.

Every successful launch (this is our 5th game on Steam) helps us grow and build better games. So even as Cyber Knights will continue to be our near-sole focus for quite a while after full launch, if you like our approach and want to make sure you don't miss future projects from us, we want to invite you to join our community.


Joining our Discord connects you directly with us and an awesome community of 7,000+ other players as well. Following our developer account here on Steam is a great way to stay in the loop through Steam's own notifications. And we have accounts on most major social networks, particularly Bluesky and YouTube.

But we all know how platforms can change at any time, often to the disadvantage of independent creators like us, so I'd particularly encourage you to please sign up for our Just-the-Big-News mailing list.

We have sent only four emails to this list in the past 5 years! It's an easy, no-distractions way to make sure you don't miss out on our next game! Hop on to get a notification when the time comes.

We'll see you next week with some info on what kind of post-launch content you can expect from us for Cyber Knights.
