We are helpful, are we not?

Hey guys! This isn't directly Pathfinder-related, but I thought it's a good place to address you anyway with something that might be worth your attention. Hope you forgive me for this little intrusion.

Some of you may remember how many years ago, we as a studio had a rather rough start with Pathfinder: Kingmaker, where the game turned out to be so big and ambitious that we failed to deliver the quality in time. We had disastrous technical issues at launch.

Only thanks to your continuious trust in us, your support and your patience, we were able to recover, eventually fixing what was broken, continuing to do what we love and slowly growing into the studio you know today. You've literally saved us, and how much we are thankful to your patience back then (and to our other hiccups over the course of our history that, well, do happen sometimes) is immeasurable.

But why am I talking about this?

For some time, I've been tracking the development of a game called Millenia (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1268590/Millennia/) by a small indie studio C Prompt Games, published by our good friends at Paradox.

In essense, this game is a fresh take on 4x Civilization-like genre with a lot of cool new ideas and mechanics, and a very interesting choice-driven concept of each historical age having 2-4 alternative history versions of it. Age of Alchemy, Age of Steampunk, Age of alien invasion, anyone? There's a crazy amount of these ages (30+ or something) and they each alter gameplay and offer unique new systems and challenges.

A-a-nd... I can't help but feel that the guys from C Prompt are right now in a similar situation to where we were with Kingmaker. Same as us, they've overextended a bit and underdelivered on release, coming out with serious technical issues and without multiplayer.

But similar to us, they've also been working intensely for a while to address these issues and implement community feedback. After half a year, they've more or less dealt with the key issues by now, but due to the rough start, the game is still criminally underrated and unknown to the wide audience.

This saddens me greatly, because it is a hidden gem that absolutely blew my mind by how massive and ambitious it is, how many systems are in it, and how much is going on there. The game is filled with love and passion, and I had similar cozy vibes playing it, that I had when I myself started playing Pathfinder for the first time.

So I wondered - what if we can extend a helping hand to fellow indie devs?

Today they're having their first DLC release and open up the public beta for multiplayer, and I know you guys love large, complicated games with number-crunchy systems, that are packed with content and choice.

I also know that you can be somewhat forgiving to the passionate devs with burning hearts, who release ambitious projects and continue to improve them, even if they turn out a bit rough on the edges at the start.

If you enjoy 4x games, how about you check it out, give your feedback, and rate it on Steam if you enjoy it?

Never hurts to improve some karma, I believe :)

Thanks for your attention!
