New mod spotlight video:
GalCiv III is currently $3.80 on Gamersgate! You might even have enough Blue Coins kicking around to pay for the game.
I knew it! I knew Brad was a member of Gamersgate all along!
There was a small stability patch released today for the base game and Crusade.

Brad has the August dev journal up and talks about the next DLC and the work that’s being done on GalCiv.
Looking forward to it. Hopefully someone answers the call on making those editors as well, fully blown quests could be a nice “total conversion” mod for GalCiv.
I guess people can use GitHub as a ‘wiki’ style place for documentation, or does Stardock have something similarly/public that people can use for documenting the inner workings of “things” - i.e. not the forums/JoeUser(?) blog area…?
We have wikis, but people already use the forums for mods and things like that. interesting thought though on where info like that can be documented.
Working on Galactic Civilizations III v2.5 this weekend.
Just did a head-to-head comparison here: https://www.stardock.com/games/article/484867/a-sneak-preview-of-galactic-civilizations-iii-v25-part-2
I should probably start this up someday, considering I bought the whole kit and kaboodle.
Wow, that all looks fantastic.
Thanks!
It should feel like a whole new (and better) game when it’s released. Opt-in this week!
Looks very nice from the preview. Think I am in opt-in already, so should get it soon then, or is there a new opt-in branch?
I believe the opt-in will be the same.
Brad also has a new AAR up showing him conquering the Perseus sector as the Terran Alliance in the beta for v2.5. https://www.stardock.com/games/article/484874/galactic-civilizations-aar-perseus
The opt-in is now live!
I’m most interested in seeing feedback on the AI players. For those who don’t have Crusade, the AI changes should be pretty dramatic, especially in diplomacy and fleet management.
The enormous update for Galactic Civilizations III and the Crusade expansion is out today!
This update focuses on modifying the base game by strengthening parts of it with elements from Crusade while also improving performance overall. Crusade is also benefiting from balance adjustments, smarter AI, and increased performance.

Ok I have a new toy!
You can export your ship designs for use on Sketchfab.

Here are two I already uploaded:
Oh, wow! That’s cool as heck!
Yea I really need to get some work done but this is incredibly fun.
Check this one out:
That’s really cool. I have to start designing my own ships in this game.
Brad has the September dev journal up for GalCiv and shares his thoughts on v2.5 and what else is to come for GalCiv III and Crusade.
