About an hour ago we released the reboot version of Endciv.
Update:
The video is still in Steam's processing queue, it is unclear when it will be ready.
Tomorrow I shall be able to fix some of the nasty bugs that freeze the game or make the savegame unloadable. I was able to reproduce all of these issues.
Don't Buy It Yet
As I said some time ago, the current version is meant to show the existing players that the recent changes are not just thin air and it should show you where the journey goes and how the game has changed.
Therefore, I would like to make it clear that there is still some work to do to come up with real content. The game is on steam and I wish it wasn't there anymore but that can't be changed without burying it completely. But Endciv is Endciv, even if it takes a while I think we already stand out of the mass of abandoned titles as we try to get it done. In the end, something comes out, even though the way was hard.
I therefore draw attention to this fact in the Storepage which has been upated as well.
Publicity therefore is not what we actively do. The game has to develop until about spring 2019 before we start boosting the game more. So there are no press keys currently.
The Update
But to the essence. Some will have fun on this version, some may be disappointed. I hope you recognize the difference in quality. The game is much more robust and more intuitive.
Content is of course missing but the game should be running without major problems. If you get unplayable bugs, I'm asking for clues. Best if you use the internal feedback system.
Imagine elements like weather, the environment and graphics of the old version coupled with the new mechanics and UI. This is what you can expect and, of course, in addition to the features that have never been delivered
You can find the old version in the steam beta area:

The save and load function is now available, but as already described in the last news, there can be mistakes.
It's unfortunately late but the update was scheduled, a third time I wont postpone it :) I'm excited for your feedback.
