No Dev Stream Today, But... in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Hey everyone -- What with the recent rejiggering of our schedule, the stream is on hold for another week. My apologies! However, I do have a little something-something to share with you related to what we've been working on, which I hope makes up for the cancellation in some small way... <img src="https://stardock.cachefly.net/adam/GalCiv3/journals/gc3-may-tease550.jpg" alt="" width="55

No Dev Stream Today in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Sorry folks, Paul's too busy making awesome things. Usually a half-hour on the stream isn't a big deal, but today just isn't a good day for it. This is good news, though, because it means the team is close to a big breakthrough. Promise! Catch up on past episodes on our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/stardockgames I hope to have an awesome thing to stream next week, but we all saw wha

The Biggest Wiggle -- What you can do with the ship designer in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Posted this to the streaming thread under News, but I thought some folks here would probably get a kick out of it. I had to cancel our ship designer preview on the stream this week (last-minute complications, sorry!), but this is a tease of just how powerful the Galactic Civilizations III ship designer is. <a href="http://sd.stardock.com/jamus/images/2014-05-

Reply to Nooo! Stream delayed. Welcome to game dev, everyone! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

How about this, as an example of what you can do with the ship editor? It is called The Biggest Wiggle 2. To be clear, this is not a new faction, nor was it designed by one of our artists. It's just an example of what the Galactic Civilizations III ship designer can do. P.S. Oh yeah, it's <a href="http://sd.stardock.com/jamus/images/2014-05-02

Reply to Nooo! Stream delayed. Welcome to game dev, everyone! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

Today's topic: the best-laid plans of mice and men! We had some last-minute complications with our build, and unfortunately this means I have to cancel the stream. Please accept my apologies, everyone. Unfortunately, this is the reality of game development. You can plan and plot and schedule out to your heart's content, and then sometimes the build blows up anyway. The team is hard at work getting the ship designer ready for release to our founders ASAP -- trus

Reply to Leader Pack DLC Now Available for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes! in Elemental News Stardock Forums

Well, we could pull devs off of making the new game to make DLC I suppose... ;) The real answer is that Stardock is still a small company, and even though we've been hiring at an absurd pace over the last year we've got two games in full production plus DLC and patches for LH. The last thing *anyone* would ever want would be to compromise the quality of the unannounced fantasy game for any reason. We've already made a lot of hard decisions about scope on that one; believe

Reply to Leader Pack DLC Now Available for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes! in Elemental News Stardock Forums

My response wasn't aimed at anyone in particular, I was just pulling some recent examples of things going on in the LH community :) The DLC went from Spouses to Leader Pack because Frogboy gets really excited about things and shares them with you guys before they've gone through the actual process of development, heh. Things like that happen *all the time* as ideas are thought up, tested, iterated on, redesigned, and so on during development -- you just generally don't hea

Reply to Leader Pack DLC Now Available for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes! in Elemental News Stardock Forums

Hey all -- First off, I'm sorry some folks find the Leader Pack DLC to be lacking. Please remember, though, that there are a lot of different kinds of players. What appeals to you may not appeal to them, and vice versa. I personally am a very min-max focused player, always looking for the optimal strategy. My cities look like tentacled abominations, every improvement down in the spot that extends my territory or connects a resource most efficiently, aesthetics be damned. I
