Getting the GalCiv gang back together

Published on January 19, 2021 By Frogboy In GalCiv III Dev Journals

Galactic Civilizations II (not III) was released a long time ago. Since then, most of the people who worked on the game have remained at Stardock but not everyone. However, over the past year or so, we've been lucky enough to recruit and or contract back some of the original members to return working on new Galactic Civilizations efforts.

Well, this is good to hear. I think that GalCiv 2 is still better than GalCiv 3. Maybe with those guys back, you could improve GalCiv 3, or make GalCiv 4 better.

Such amazing news ... perhaps this time I can convince my wife to let me have Founders Edition!

An new engine that needed work I can’t say was your fault. What should have been done was a interface that had the improvements from two. I would say this time around make sure that the interface has the functionality of three. Things that probably could be kept, but improved on with a new game. That you seem to have started over with three. Ai. and the tech trees. With the tech trees I’m talking about the races that survived two, not the ones that got destroyed, causing tech trees that weren’t as unique as two when they could have been more unique.

So is this the start of Dev Diaries for Gal Civ IV?

I'm not worried. Brad's team is on a mission from God.

I am pretty excited about the things I'm seeing.

While I'm not the lead designer on the game, I am the overall Product Manager this time so all new work comes across my screen first.

There's been a lot of technological improvements not just to PCs in the last few years but to compilers.

For you C++ coders out there, consider this: GalCiv III was made just after C++ 11 started getting added into Visual Studio. C++ 14, 17 and much better and C++ 20 is already supported by the latest VS builds.
