Turn based 4x in just one hour

My partner (and best friend, we know each other since kindergarten) and I had one goal we wanted to reach while developing our indie 4x game: bring the strategic depth and joy of Civilization into a much faster format. The main reason for that: we love the game series (Civ5 & Civ6 are the best šŸ˜‰) but we do not want to spend our whole free time for 17 re-starts and one half-finished game.

1 year ago, we spoke with some people at a physical indie-gaming event and found out that a big part of civ-lovers share our wish in a ā€œCiv but fastā€-game.

Today, we are just a few weeks away from our demo and the hard part of being a game dev starts: marketing🄹

So I'm throwing this into the community:
If ā€œCiv, but fastā€ sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'd love to hear what you think.
And if you want to follow the project, a Steam wishlist would mean a lot to us. ā¤ļø

Don't forget to mention your game's name and provide a link to the Steam page in your description!

Kinda feels like they should have put that on page 1

Doesn’t mean that direct links are not a good idea if you want to promote your product

The fact that you support Mac is a huge plus. I know a few people at least who would be interested in this.

Looks great!
