About the Developer
Taras Kovalchuk is the solo developer of Distant Colony, crafting every feature, line of code and art asset from his home office in Warsaw, Poland.
He developed his skills on a major airport simulator game and real-world aviation training software built in Unity and Unreal.
Aiming a project of his own, he used that experience into Distant Colony, a space survival open-world sandbox. Development truly became a family project, with a young son offering playful suggestions and a wife shaping content and promotion, turning development into a shared adventure.
Project grows step by step, guided by feedback. Suggestions are welcome at every step and will help steer the game’s future.
