GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #93 - An Essay of the History of the Galactic Civilizations Universe...

My office has a lot of printouts in binders regarding the history of the universe (The Mithrilar Cycle) that both Galactic Civilizations and Elemental come from.   I once had the opportunity to write a book, Destiny's Embers  and that was quite an adventure.  My original story was 300 pages but my publisher, Del Rey, wanted it fleshed out and had an editor greatly expand the exposition of it.  One of these days, I hope to publish the original manuscript which, I should ...

GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #92 - Of the Nyx

With the benefit of hindsight, Tales of the Arnor should have been handled as a full expansion pack. It just has such a massive scope of changes in it.    For me, personally, it's the first GalCiv IV DLC I've got to work on since Tales of Centauron which I thoroughly enjoyed.  But this one...this one is just so much bigger. This will probably not be the last post I make on Tales of the Arnor so I will probably miss some things here. Of the Nyx So as some of you kno... [read more]

GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #91 - The Yor and the Arnor Thoughts

So I'm working on the upcoming DLC called  Tales of the Arnor and it's going to go pretty hard into the background on the Yor. To do that, I really need to explain a bit about the background of this game which, since it's a 30 year old series there's a lot of bits involved. No pun intended. In the beginning... So at the start there were the Mithrilar.  These were beings that we would consider to exist outside our universe.  One of them, called Draginol (which is where ... [read more]

GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #90 - Balancing GalCiv IV

After several years of post-release development and multiple expansions, Galactic Civilizations IV has a hell of a lot of content. 4X is a relatively complex genre and GalCiv leans pretty hard into the “sandbox” side of things, providing the player with many tools and options to play with when planning their conquest of the galaxy. This is great for the player, but with such expansive scope and depth, paired with periodic patching to iron out bugs and address various issues that crop up, the ... [read more]

GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #89 - Basic Resources

Hello everyone! For today’s Dev Journal, I will be going over Resources in GalCiv IV. In the past few Dev Journals, we've been exploring new features introduced by GalCiv’s latest DLC: Megastructures. However, for my first Journal of the new year, I want to take a step back from the late-game-focused expansion to cover some GalCiv fundamentals. GalCiv IV has no shortage of Resources, and I’d like to focus on the five most common Resources you will encounter while expanding your empire a... [read more]
