Hmm .. the Steam page for Antimatter now shows "This item is currently unavailable in your region" ... does anyone know why?

Edited, because I forgot ... I'm in Germany.

[AlStar]

Seems to be working fine for me - it even had some new updates that geoffroypir hasn't graced this topic with.

Edit: I'm in the USA, so it's probably a regional thing; although I couldn't guess why.

It's working just fine here in the Netherlands as well.

I think I found out why, it is described in this post:

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4678768276768588864

Every game now requires an age rating before being sold in Germany. Apparently, Steam also applies that for games not yet released that have a Steam page.
The developer just needs to fill out a form describing the game elements in a link in the above post, and everything should be fine.

Hey everyone,
It has been a while since I have posted on this thread. Here a recap on what was going on since :

Devlog on nukes and natives :

Devlog on shipyards (and other features)

And since a few days I am doing multiple short thematic trailers :
Large space battle : https://youtu.be/ue91_WSTyBU (Apparently youtube like this one)
The universe : https://youtu.be/Or7J_-Qpf3U
Colony Management : https://youtu.be/RylvM20F-xU

---

I was caught off-guard with the Germany restriction thing but everything is in place since a few weeks

whatever happened to the poi 2d side view tho? I'm a bit confused about that.

I is still in active dev but on a separate branch (I have sliced development into 2 branches) and I am discreet about progress for now.

I've got your channel as one of my occasional check-for-new-stuff places[1], but hadn't looked for a short while, so expect my own meagre views to add to the respective tallies, shortly. I find your developments quite interesting, and like your style of presenting them, though a bit different from others I might similarly lurk around.

I'm really quite impressed by the scope of your "everything simulator", and how you've managed to work up to this point. I suppose I must also apologise that I've never become more than a sidelines supporter.


...was going to take this over to PMs (had already got part way through the cut-n-paste), but redecided that it'd be slightly more tangible support to actually reply in the open and show a bit more continuing third-party interest. Forgive the slightly less 'meant for the crowd' tone of voice that survives the transfer back again..!

It is really remarkable how you've taken a simple little 2d city game and expanded it into the universe.

[Great Order]

That space battle video made me think, I really want to see some sort of top-down, free-panning game where the space battles take place over realistic distances rather than what would be very short range. There's a few 3D games that do it, but they're generally a bit more simmy than gamey.

I just realised I basically want someone to hybridise Starsector and The Expanse, but with battles taking place on the overworld map rather than a dedicated separate map.

[martinuzz]

With some regularity I check the Steam page to see if there's an open beta yet.
Looks like this will be a gem!

the future of AI, chatgpt/etc bots replying to each other in bulletin boards and online chats

Absolutely, at some point bots will probably accuse other bots (and humans) of being a bot.
Perhaps you are all bots

Yes I really wanted engagment to scale across entire systems and beyond (it was quite a challenge to have a working and fast coordinate system)
It is a bit comparable to "Star Ruler" games.

I suppose I must also apologise that I've never become more than a sidelines supporter.

I am always happy to see familiar names such as yours expressing support for the project.
The project has already taken a long time and is still intangible (except for me), and it is always a good surprise for me to see that many are still enthusiastic about it.

New trailer of the game showcasing the progress made in 2024 and a devlog on lifeforms and localization.

Looks very exciting, and didn't realise you kept updating the first post, really cool seeing all the years of work all together.

[geoffroypir]

A new video devlog! it is a longer format this time.
