- The Update and the Apology - 1 June 2016
Hello folks, Well, it's been quite a while and I am sorry. I know a lot of you gave up on us actually finishing this project and thought we disappeared forever into the great abyss that is the "Unfinished Early Access Games" and you had all the right to think that. But we are back and we are sorry we vanished in the first place and that it took so long to get the game on track. The estimated two months of EA turned into six but we hope we're close to the end now. We thank you for your patience and we humbly invite you to check out the new Idle Civilization. We have new graphics and some new content for you! - The Covinari have found their way to your kingdom - fabled mercenaries that will work and fight for you if you build a Keep. 10 classes with distinct talents and traits await you to recruit them. - Archons might now deem your colony worthy of their attention and start watching over…

- Roadmap - What are we doing, what are we going to do? - 30 December 2015
Hi folks, So I've been quiet these weeks. I'm going to blame it all on the holiday season and hope you don't all hold it against me :) So Happy Holidays to everyone! So what are we doing with Idle Civ and how far along are we with doing it? I promised a patch before Christmas but I didn't get it in, again because I was gone and didn't finish work in time. It'll be here on the 2nd or 3rd of January (depending on testing being done and hangovers not impeding work). What can you expect to see in the patch as far as content goes? Well, we're introducing Strange Sightings, a complementary feature to exploration. Each exploration party will have a chance to trigger a sighting. If you decide to investigate it...well...things will happen. Usually good things. Things will happen even if you decide to ignore the sighting. The bonuses of Royal Blood (for those who come from Kongregate) will be att…

- Fixes, updates and Exploration! - 8 December 2015
Hi folks, After a very intense week, I've finally released a new patch that addresses some of the game's issues. Not all of your requests are in yet, but rest assured I am working on them and more updates are coming. As far as content goes, Exploration has been added to the game. I hope that this will give people a little something to do especially early in the game while waiting for resources. I've also started working on rewriting parts of the game's inner workings to make it more suitable to the desktop platform and to better support future content. Exploration as well will be heavily expanded in the following week with a lot of features that we hope you will find interesting and amusing. Patch notes (also includes the hotfixes from the cloud saving patch): - You can now send out exploration parties! - You can now build monuments in the culture tab with ornaments you find while explo…
