Thats great news!

But whats about the citiziens portraits? generate to or use humans as citizien?

 The problem is the pictures are static.Making it not consistent with the base races.

Since the citizens are actually code with pictures, that's a bit of a different thing.  We'll probably look at having the art for those generate eventually and have the behaviors (bonuses) be human since they're the safest.

We're actually fairly close to having these be animated too.  Just not ready for early access.

Is the early access released?

Yep.

Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova on Steam (steampowered.com)

Hey, could you have some way of providing the Early Access discount on Steam? I supported you Early Access but really prefer Steam much more as a platform. 

It does feel like Early Access supporters are being 'punished' for what your business dealings were. Even though most people didn't buy and support you because the Epic Store. Zen pinball just transferred all my purchases from Epic to Steam after I supported them with Early Access on Epic, for example. 

Sold! This alone is enough to sell supernova to me. 

We have no way to do that I'm afraid.

Well, I literally just went through this with Zen on PinballFx Early Access and it was certainly possible. You sent an email to their support with your epic account or proof of purchase and they sent you a Steam code. It is possible if your respect your Early access supporters. 

Ah so it was a manual process and not on Steam.

We can look at having some sort of discounted path for people who have the base game on Epic but we don't have anything right now set up for that.

Please do. I want to pay the upgrade price today on Epic, but really don't want to own it there for all the platform benefits. I'll either buy your game in 2-3 years once it costs me $20 to buy, or today if there is a path to own on Steam for a comparable price. 

Thanks.  I sent this over to the IT team and they're brainstorming now.  I'll keep everyone posted.

So I picked up the expansion based on this feature. (The other stuff added is cool too, but I really thought the idea of having AI generate the stuff for custom civs was awesome).

It seems to me there needs to be way, way, way, way, way, way more training for it. At least for the "image generation". I don't see how it's really "generating" anything when I see mostly the same images coming up for a civilization, regardless of what the description is. Super disappointed about this, but I hope it's just because it's early stages.

I havent even started a game because I couldn't get it to generate an image that was even remotely close to what I wanted. Even when I tried to make a civ of cats, none of the suggested ones had anything remotely like a cat (even though I've seen a few images in the past where it was basically a human with a cat head).

As for the text it generates, it's pretty good so far, although similarly, I think the AI needs to be trained on way more data because it tends to get repetitive very quickly (but I'm not really as concerned about the text description as much as the images).

Hopefully I can get over my OCD with the images and start a game lol.
