Is Predynastic Egypt worth of a nomination for the Steam Award?Nov 25, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsSteam hosts thousands of amazing games made by dedicated developers from every corner of the world. Every gamer can find a game or two (or more) suitable for their tastes, and we hope that Egypt: Old Kingdom also became a favorite game for many players. If you are one of them, please consider nominating Predynastic Egypt for the Steam Award! As per Steam's rules, older games such as this one can only be nominated for the "Labor of Love" award, and this game is 100% suitable for this nomination, seeing that it was created out of our love for games and history. It will mean a lot to us if you will nominate Predynastic Egypt for the Steam Award! Our chances aren't huge, but it's the thought that counts! :) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26536817/93a5080287e63da1740a448bf29cf3690206eafc.jpg75% discount for Predynastic Egypt!Nov 4, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsPredynastic Egypt was released so long that nobody remembers that time, and you still don't have it?

Well, almost :) Marble Age is a casual strategy about Ancient Greece, released back in 2014. It was good, but not great, so we decided to improve it! Marble Age: Remastered will be released on November 3rd, 2020, and it's a whole new game: We fully upgraded the art style. We improved design and balance. New content! To the original two cities - Athens and Sparta - we added Corinth! Take a look at the demo and if you like it, don't forget to add to your wishlist! Marble Age: Remastered is participating in Steam Game Festival. Up until October 13th, we will make special streams every evening to show off the game and everything new about it.

One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Although I d call myself a big fan of the Civilization franchise, the truth is that what I m really a fan of is Civ s early game. Sure, mass infantry wars and space programmes are alright. But for me, it s all about those first fifty turns, shepherding a gang of vagrants with hollowed-out owls for shoes into a rudimentary culture with writing, pottery, and a place to rummage for crabs. (more…) Version 1.0.9. Localizations and other updates.Dec 20, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsBug fixes: In the tutorial mode, we fixed a wrong icon which appeared in the announcement about army unblocking; We corrected a lot of mistakes in English localization; We added our volunteers Richard Bepple, canemus and XzibitusaK to the list of Authors of the game; We fixed the mistake which made the game freeze in random situations. Balance fix: We fixed a bug that allowed to boost Food and Production during the "Crime" event. Others: We updated links to our social networks accounts; We redesigned the selector of languages in the game; Now it's impossible to start the game without entering the name of a player.

No matter how small your game is, a good translation can increase the number of potential buyers. On the other hand, a not so good translation can scare them off. Our games - Stone Age, Bronze Age, Marble Age, Predynastic Egypt and soon to be released Egypt: Old Kingdom are translated into 13 languages in general. We'll be glad to share our experience and talk about a few unexpected problems we had to deal with during localization. http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31278367/305d3dc1a5d7dea395ee21ac832c683ead04a487.png The original language of our games is Russian, so the first step was to translate it into English. When our team still had only one member and when the first game, Stone Age, was created, there was no choice but to pay for translation. It wasn't the best choice not only because of money but also because translators-outsiders probably would not be aware of what game they are translating. It makes mistranslation possible. Thus, we decided to translate the next game, Marble Age, ourselves. The translation we made knew no proofreading, no editor's eye... well, you can guess how "great" this translation was. We got criticized for it a lot. Nevertheless, the goal was achieved - both games got translated into English. Later both translations were revised and edited by natives. Now to get the game translated into English is only half a battle. It helps to attract more players among English-speakers, this includes people who speak other languages as well. Thanks to the fact that we put a lot of efforts in making our texts interesting and informative, we soon got many offers of help from people who wanted to translate our games to their languages! Needless to say, we were only happy to accept. The first volunteer came from Spain, and Marble Age got its Spanish version. Since then our friend from Spain became one of our most supportive volunteers and helped to translate other games as well. Later another volunteer from Turkey appeared. Then another one from Germany. They all had to spend several weeks, helping us to localize our games. But as we all started to work together, we found out that our games are not designed to accommodate translations. These are basic problems we encountered: 1. Correct display of translated texts. Other languages can contain diacritics - special symbols which can be all around the letter, for example sometimes you can see the word "naïve" with two dots instead of one, or like in many French or Spanish words, like "Rêver" or "niño". The most extreme case of this problem, though, is when the new language is not Latin alphabet based, for example, Chinese or Hindi. 2.

There we have both Marble Age and Predynastic Egypt, but not our precious Bronze Age, which has a special place in our hearts for being our first born. That is why, despite an active work on the Egypt Old Kingdom, we decided to transfer Bronze Age to the Unity engine.
