If you were in the opt-in, you've seen a lot of the features. This build will be way more tested and stable, for one, and I believe there's some content that didn't make it into the opt-in.

Edladner: No, but you can just resubmit -- give the youtube link and note that you'd like to update your previous submission, and we'll take care of it internally. loomenko: You don't need to own GC3 to be eligible, but submissions do need to be able to be imported into GC3. Designing them in the GC3 editor is the easiest way to make sure they're eligible. Rand Johnson: Seriously guys, ask Rand your ship designer questions. He/she has made some really cool stuf
Updated the FAQ with answers to your questions. Or here, if you don't want to scroll alllllll the waaaaaay up to the top of the page: What size ships are you looking for? Any size. Whatever supports your artistic vision. Do you want bare hulls, or finished designs with lasers, shields, etc? Hulls, generally.

This is a great discussion. FWIW, we talked about this a bit in last week's stream . The short version is that extreme worlds are going to change this dynamic quite a bit -- you won't be able to colonize everything in sight because you won't have the tech for it. So we're not spending a bunch of time balancing expansion right now when it's going to change so drastically once

This is a super cool idea. Probably beyond scope for release, but it's a really, really neat concept.

Just for the record, Sorcerer King like all Stardock games is fully funded and not relying on Early Access for funding.
First of all, thanks to everyone who has joined the Sorcerer King Early Access beta. Your feedback is hugely appreciated. As developers, one of the most frustrating things is to see the people who enjoy your game shouted down by drive-bys from people who haven’t played it. The new Steam paradigm makes community involvement more important than ever. If you are so moved, the team would really appreciate anything you choos
Great feedback, thanks Leo!

Population Pressure means your pop is nearing your food cap, aka your planet is getting more crowded, which lowers approval. The idea as I understand it is to create some tension between building up your core worlds and settling new ones (building colony ships to ship some of those people offworld).

Bells are ringing, birds are singing, and it’s a beautiful day to dig up the archives of a forgotten race’s reality TV shows and use them to placate a restive populace that for some reason doesn’t see the value in mandatory six-month stints working the factories of the nearest forgeworld.
