GalCiv IV: Supernova Dev Journal #2 - Updating Visuals

January 9, 2023 1:00:00 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

One of the things this Winter we're doing is updating the graphics of GalCiv IV in lots of various ways.  One upcoming update to GalCiv IV will be a revision to all the planetary improvements.

For example:

[New research building]

 

With 4K and 1440p becoming more common we really needed to up the game.

We will also be updating some of the minor races.

 

So for instance, remember this guy?

Pretty grotesque.

He's being updated with this guy:

We plan to do a lot more with minor civs this year which means there will be a lot more of them coming soon.

This looks great, along with the one you shared on the Discord. 

 

Will the updates be separate from "Next"?

Will ship models get visually updates along with improvements and minor civs?

Yeah, some of the models are ugly. Like the Grove's. Even worse than GC3.

The ships themselves don't have models. They are assembled from their parts.

Right, then, to be more specific, some of the ship parts are a bit ugly, particularly the Grove's.

Anyway, looking forward to all of this.

This will give more life to the planetary districts. I'm excited to see the changes to minor civs.

The Terran Alliance will probably get some updated ship designs but the rest probably won't.

Could you please at least look at the Grove's? They're easily the most hideous.
