Weekly Update: Chapter 2 – New Map Images

Added 2019-08-16 08:48:08 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone!

From this week onward, I intend to start giving more details on Chapter 2 and tease some of the upcoming content you can expect to see in the first Chapter 2 update.

In this week’s post I want to show you some of the overarching visual improvements I’m making to the game that I think we can all agree have been needed for quite some time. Up to this point, the main tiles of XXXivilzation′s map have been open source graphics of varying quality. They don’t look that nice and have a wide range of different art-styles, so I have commissioned a pixel-artist to create a brand new tileset for the game’s maps.

You can see a comparison of the old and new map style in the image on top. I think it gives XXXivilization a much more mature and visually appealing look, and I look forward to hearing what you all think about it.

Each week’s update from here to release will be about something new coming in the first Chapter 2 update, so you may want to check back regularly. I know a lot of people are going to be really excited about some of the upcoming additions and changes.

As always, your feedback is invaluable, and I look forward to hearing what everyone thinks about these things in the weeks to come.

Thanks for reading,
