I can no longer click users names in the chat box on the right hand side of the screen to view their profile info including accessing gifting options. The dialog box does not pop up. Tried in Chrome, the new windows app and in Steam.
If i go to my Commonwealth, I can get to commonwealth member's profiles to access gift options. If I have multiplayer notifications enabled, I can click names as they pop up on the left side of the screen.

I was loading from the local save. Tried to back it up and load from that file - same endless load. Tried to load backup in web version - same...
There is no built in limit. It must be running into a parse error with a filename it does not like.

Are you loading from a backup file or a local/cloud save? If it's the latter, maybe you could back it up to a file and try loading from that.
Hi,
I have done some break from MC2 and now I can't load my save. Game just stays at loading screen (I have waited for a few hours). I am using Win10 but game is not native app - iirc used "install" button from the web app.
Thanks.

Following the recent My Colony v2.0.0 release, all engine updates and features from that update have now been ported over to it's sister game Anitquitas, and v2.0.0 is now rolling out to all supported platforms!
Of course, since My Colony received a minor promotional graphics overhaul, I did not want Antiquitas to feel left out of the fun. The game now sports a new title screen and updated icon, as well as minor UI refreshes throughout.
In addition, and as with My Colony, the macOS release has returned to both Steam and the stand-alone Desktop installer (available on the Ape Market).

bastecklein said:So I've never been too much of a gamer, as I've always had more fun creating games than actually playing them. However my wife and son DO play games quite a bit (mostly Minecraft, but my son also likes some Xbox games), and a few months ago we decided to put together a small gaming YouTube channel just for the heck of it. And thus, HANGAR Cooperative Gameplay was born.
So first of all, what's up with the name? Well, this is what happens when you let a five year old name the channel. He loves the game Doom (the old school original one), which I know isn't really a kids game, but the graphics are cartoonish and he is mature enough to not take it seriously. So at the time we were making the channel, he was in love with the first level of Doom E1M1 which is called Hangar, and so that is what he was dead set on naming it.
So we have been throwing videos up on there every once in a while whenever we get bored. There is a mixture of stuff I put up there solo (mostly cross-promoting Ape Apps stuff), stuff my son and I play two player (mostly Doom), and stuff the three of us play together (mostly Minecraft).
Anyway, in all it's been an interesting experience. It is basically a fun hobby for my family to do together on occasion, and although nobody really watches it, that really isn't the whole point at the end of the day.
So I just thought I would put the link out there for people who follow me on Ape Apps, if they are interested in watching me fail at playing other people's games, or want to hear some of my non-Ape Apps related commentary. I have learned a few things just over the last few months of messing with it, like how to do some minor video editing, and how to stream my Xbox One to my PC to record gameplay videos, as well as how YouTube generally works.
Feel free to follow us on the gaming channel, and leave feedback on things you would like to see or things that can improve! We are basically YouTube noobs who don't know what we are doing, so feedback is always welcome! It's not the kind of channel that we are going to try to make money off of or try to push products or anything like that, this is strictly a family hobby channel, so check it out and leave a comment! My son is always wondering why we don't get any comments, 🤔 !!

Hello, Brandon Dale here (AKA ad3elprz), after so many years out of touch. I looked back and saw that I interacted with your online presence around 2020, but hadn't kept that up. I'm in Southern California, I see you're (at least when you posted it) in Missouri? I almost posted the city, but then noted you don't have it on your info panel, so I thought I'd better keep it not-so-doxxing by just stating the state. I used to drive 18-wheeler, and I'd driven through there several times. Now want to get into tech, and making changes in my life to facilitate such. Anyway, I'm glad you finally reached out to your list and sent a post. I'd completely forgotten about the app I'd subscribed to. So I'm looking forward to getting reacquainted. See you around your wall.... :)
I have lost all game data. I tried to input the .MCR and it would not due to it containing system data. I am not happy as my game REDRUM is / was in end game. all that work for naught.
Well, I am assuming that the developer of the Network Browser app doesn't have much interest in supporting his product. Why do I say this? Because I made three posts here 18 days ago, and they all remain unanswered, not even by other forum visitors.
One of my biggest problems is that Network Browser cannot display a list of items for certain folders and subfolders, even after several attempts. It just shows a blank white screen without anything being listed.
I get the impression that this may possibly have something to do with the app having some kind of built-in limit with regard to how many items it can list. But this is just a guess on my part.
If anyone knows a solution to this issue, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

Today I am announcing the release of My Colony v2.0.0, which should be rolling out to all platforms and devices over the coming days. There isn't anything in the way of new content, but under the hood the game has undergone major changes, so let's see what happened!
Firstly, since the sheer scale of the technical changes was so great, I decided to bump the game up to v2.0.0, and to help celebrate the version bump, I decided to spruce up the game's icon and title screen a little bit. Nothing major, just a little coat of paint. Hope nobody is too offended by the change!
Moving on to more technical stuff, many of you noticed I have not been very active in the community over the last few months. I have nonetheless been quite busy with Ape Apps, as I have been under taking the massive task of updating and modernizing all of my code and libraries across the entire business. I have been converting all of my code into modules so that I can reuse things easier, and I have been moving things to version control to better keep track of everything that I have. This has been a massive undertaking, especially getting all of my old apps and games onboard with the new changes, and My Colony was one of the larger projects that I have, so it required a ton of changes.
One of the main challenges was updating the game to work with the new version of my Scroll2d Engine, which itself has also been converted into a module, and even open sourced. For those curious about the Scroll2d engine that powers My Colony and a handful of my other games and apps, you can now find the Scroll2d code on GitHub (although I have not had time to document anything yet):
https://github.com/bastecklein/scroll2d
My new process for app building that I am rolling out, My Colony included, is going to make it a lot easier and faster for me to update and fix things. For other developers and tinkerers out there though, there is one downside to my new process. Since the game is now completely module based and packaged together with a bundler, it's not quite as easy as it once was to pull open the source code and see how things work (which is how tools like Coloniae came about). I think the tradeoff it ok though, since the game will be alot easier for me to maintain going forward.
On the Desktop side of things, all desktop packages (except for Windows on ARM) are now digitally signed, so you should no longer get security warnings and popups when trying to play the games after downloading. In addition, My Colony for macOS has returned to both Steam and as a standalone desktop app, since I know there are a handful of Mac players out there who were not happy when I discontinued the macOS builds.
Looking ahead, although most work in the My Colony Universe will be focused towards My Colony 2, I have been toying around with the idea of using AI to remaster all of the building graphics for the original My Colony. I have done a few tests and I think it is doable, but I don't trust it enough yet to do it properly full-scale. Potentially though, I might be able to make the game look pretty good, but we will see.
Anyway, a lot technically has changed in this update, so if you find issues, post them here and let me know. I want to be sure that the MC1 update is solid before porting it over to Antiquitas.
Thanks for playing My Colony!

I have this super old colony from 4 years ago that I recently restored, but it is in local mode and I wish to turn it into online mode. However turning it into online mode is not even showing up as an option.
I am also experiencing this. Couldn't load the game last night and again today. Gets stuck on the black "loading assets" screen. Bar moves, nothing happens.
So this is gonna be weird to explain, but I recently went to load up one my saves for my colony and the wrong one loaded. Furthermore it synced and saved the mistake on the cloud making it so the mcz file loads the wrong colony all the time now. Under game data I still have the original colony region files but no way to access them. Can anyone help me with a solution?
