Ape Apps

A few weeks ago, I announced that Antiquitas would be coming to Steam, and today it has officially arrived! You can download Antiquitas on Steam today from the following page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/935750/Antiquitas/

This is my first ever game to be released on Steam, so check it out, show your support, and let me know what you think! If it goes over well, I will be bringing My Colony to the platform next. I just want to make sure that it will be worth the trouble first, based on the reception of Antiquitas, since they do charge $100 per game that you want to list on the Steam platform.

Remember that if you do buy Antiquitas on Steam, once you sign into the game using your Ape Apps Account, you will get unlocked access to Premium on all supported platforms, which for Antiquitas, is pretty much any device that you have. This does not go the other way around though (if you already bough Premium, it does not unlock the game on Steam), but if you have already purchased the game in the past, you don't even need the Steam client, as you can get either the Native Client from the Ape Market, or just play the game on the Ape Apps Launcher.

That said, if you do buy it on Steam (or buy it again because you just love the game that much and it's cheap 🙂), please leave a good review for it on the Steam marketplace, to help give the game a good launch out of the gate!

Thanks to everyone for their support, and thank you for playing Antiquitas!

Over the coming days, Antiquitas v1.17.0 will be rolling out to all platforms. This update includes the following new Egyptian structures:

- School of Dancers
- Dancers Pavilion
- Chariot Factory
- Chariot Races

Along with the new content, Antiquitas v1.17.0 rolls out the new Regions feature, that was recently introduced into My Colony.

Regions allow you to group multiple smaller city files into one regional mega city with a shared population, production, and technology research pool. A region can contain up to 2,500 individual city files, although I would be shocked if anybody actually built out a region that big. It is a fun new way to play the game though.

Finally, this is the version of Antiquitas that will be rolling out to Steam on September 29th, so I do not expect any further Antiquitas updates until after that date, as I need to have the code base stabilized. If you have not done so yet, please go to the Antiquitas Steam page and add it to your wish list! Even if you do not plan on buying the same, adding it to your wish list will help give the game a visibility boost when it is launched, so I would certainly appreciate it! You can find the Antiquitas Steam page here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/935750/Antiquitas/

You can probably also just search for Antiquitas within the Steam client.

That's all for today's update, thanks for playing and stay tuned for more!

So Antiquitas has just been approved for release on Steam! Steam doesn't let you publish immediately though, so the landing page for the game has to sit as "Coming Soon" for the next few weeks.

Still, the game will be available on Steam on September 29th. You can check out it's steam page now and add it to your "wishlist" if you want to:

Should be an exciting new development for the future of the game.

Alright everyone, I have just published the v1.16.0 update to Antiquitas, and it should be arriving to all platforms in the coming days. This release contains all of the engine updates found in My Colony v0.69.0, as well as a new laundry of bug fixes and engine updates which have been patched since the last My Colony release. It also fixes some in-game text strings that had previously been missing.

In addition, there are 10 all new Egyptian civilization structures available (three premium), including:

New Structures:
- Reshpu Sanctuary
- Competition Field
- Palace
- Vizir Palace
- Temple of Amun-Ra
- Great Pyramid
- Sphinx

New Premium Content:
- Small Golden Sphinx
- Pharaoh Palace Wall
- Palace Wall Pylon

So that's all for today's Antiquitas update. Hope you enjoy, and as always, send your thanks and appreciation to @jova for his amazing artwork contributions to the game!

I have just published v1.15.0 of Antiquitas to all app stores, and it should be arriving to devices within the next couple of days.

This update adds three new Egyptian structures, the Ship Yard, the Fishing Docks, and the Egyptian Docks.

In addition, I have made some changes to the engine, and there is a new Engine Setting allowing you to disable multi-threaded pathfinding. I am testing this out with Antiquitas to see if it cures some of the "workers/rovers will not move" issues, before I push it out to My Colony in the next update for that game.

Anyway, let me know what issues you have, and thanks for playing!
