This unreal dragon helmet for Colony was made by @GDannemann feeding a prompt to his Fabricator, choosing from a few initial designs, and then attaching it to his Avatar.
From a cool idea to a custom wearable item in moments. We can't wait to see what players create next!

A huge moment for @Parallel Studios is around the corner, as we are showcasing Colony at the @googlecloud booth during @Official_GDC 2026!
For the first time on a public stage, we'll be running live demos of the industry's first on-demand asset generation pipeline operating inside a live-game environment. Nothing pre-rendered. Nothing pulled offline. Just real-time in-game content creation, fully powered and scaled by @googlecloud.
This has been a long time coming, and being featured at the Google Cloud booth at one of gaming's biggest stages is something we don't take lightly.
More details are dropping soon, but if you're heading to GDC, please come find us at booth #1227. We'd love to show you more of what we're building.

BE PATIENT, NEW COLONIST
Many of our playtesters expressed the importance of being patient at the beginning of their journey in Colony. Your Avatar is an AI agent - it will not always immediately respond to every request.
To provide more support, we have a Colony Gameplay channel in the Parallel Discord (scroll to AI category). We also added a new Feedback channel for Colony.
Lastly, we have supportive community members and Mods that can help troubleshoot any specific issues you may have.
