When I look at the people who have gotten "canceled" over things they posted on the Internet, it's disproportionately GenXers.   Why is that? I think it's the awkward timing. GenX grew up on BBSes and Usenet which were a free for all.  It wasn't until the Millennials and later GenZ came on the scene that the raunchy, insensitive, or intentionally trolling behaviors of GenX got us into trouble.

I've been saying this a lot to design teams lately: There is no subsitute for playing the game and then playing the game some more and then playing it still more. And Warlords really shows that. Now, those of you who get it right away are in for a particular treat that you should take advantage of as much as you can while you can:  There are a lot of absolutely crazy ship components in this that we have balanced as best we can but I can tell you right now, I there are going to be some...

We are currently working on the base game of the Epic edition.  This will come out at GalCiv IV 2.2 next month. To make it easy for future updates to it, we are going to be bringing the code-base up to the Supernova edition. So in essence, GalCiv IV 2.2 base game on Epic will be the same as Supernova except for the new content (and things like AlienGPT).

One of Stardock's big challenges has been localizing our games.   GalCiv IV has over 180,000 words in it.  That's a lot to translate.  But that's not really the biggest issue.  The biggest issue is that we are constantly adding new text to the game which makes it hard for our linguistics team to keep up.   We typically use Trados for this sort of thing.  It's very powerful but it is not fast.  So I decided to write my own app called GC4TranslatorUI.  ...

When utilizing Stardock's AlienGPT, one might naturally ponder the question: which animals are the most sought-after choices for building a civilization around? Well, here's the answer.     Nearly 40% of users opt for cats, followed by foxes, fish, dogs, snakes, and more. Animal Number of Mentions Percentage (%) cat 1445 30.90 fox 331 7.08 fish 320 6.84 dog 319 6.82 snake 258 5.52 bird 251 5.37 tiger 219 4.68 wolf 190 4.0...

Greetings! We are coming to the finish line for GalCiv IV: Supernova! Our once reasonable scope has, of course, exploded over the Summer as we got our hands into making this the best space 4X game we've ever made! The next major BETA update, 1.90 will be focusing on making the game more appealing to a much wider group of people. Galactapedia   This feature is expected to expand significantly in the coming weeks. We're excited about its potential and...

Generally speaking, in GalCiv games there has been three types of players: The first player is the relatively new or casual player who finds the AI ridiculously hard and will post "The AI is cheating" (the AI doesn't cheat unless you make the settings super high).  They say this because the AI is able to expand fairly quickly because it is quite good at scouting (the AI tends to build a lot more scouts than players) and finding planets. It has no idea where the planets are. The second...
