Nebuchadnezzar News

Greetings, rulers of Mesopotamia!

The release of the 1.4 update and our first DLC, Adventures of Sargon, is just around the corner. We will be releasing on the 7th of February 2023!

In addition to many new features and QoL improvements, the 1.4 Update also focuses on accessibility. The result is a special colorblind mode.

This mode is designed to make it easier to distinguish important UI colors in the game. For example, red and green colors for invalid/valid building placement. And also easier differentiation of highlight colors against normal game visuals.

This is the first iteration of this support, so we only have one mode for all possible colorblind types. Based on feedback, we would like to expand this support in the future.

Nevertheless all colors are already moddable, so it's not a problem to create a mod where these UI colors best suit your needs.

We hope that this small addition will allow even more players to enjoy the game.

Greetings, rulers of Mesopotamia!

And welcome to the first update of 2023. But before we get to the post itself, Happy new year to all of you. May you achieve everything you desire :)

Now back to Nebu. Map sizes have always been probably the most common complaint. Although within all previous updates we tried to resize the campaign maps while keeping the feel of progress, we were not completely happy. But only now, while working on the DLC, we were able to optimize the code enough to safely present really big maps.

So in the upcoming free 1.4 Update we have enlarged basically all of the campaign maps. Just take a look at the image. It compares minimaps of the current version and the new 1.4 version all in the same scale.

We believe that these enlarged maps will provide you even more space for fun ;)

We are delighted to announce that Nebuchadnezzar won the Czech Game of the Year award in the category Technological solution. We also ended second in the category Game design.

We would like to thank each and every one of you. We wouldn't make it so far without your support and help.

Greetings, rulers of Mesopotamia!

We have a big announcement for you today. It's the release date for the upcoming 1.4 update and the Adventures of Sargon DLC.

So let's get straight to the point, the release date will be the 7th of February 2023.

That's a little later than we expected. But it will be our biggest release since the release of the base game. And we don't want to rush it, we want to present perfect new content.

The free update will include warfare variants for several of the base campaign missions and warfare variants for all of the scenario missions. We have also reworked and greatly resized the maps for all the base campaign missions.

The DLC will include a new 15-mission campaign. The missions will be divided into four blocks, with each block taking place on the same map. This will allow the player to build large cities from the start and make the campaign feel more cohesive. The campaign will also contain almost 5000 words of dialogue.

And, as always, there will be many small improvements and QoL features. So as you can see, there will be a lot of new content and we want to make sure we deliver it in the best possible way.

That's it for today. Stay tuned and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram. You can also join our Discord server!

Until the next time!

Greeting, rulers of Mesopotamia!

Today we have two big news for you about the upcoming DLC. So let’s have a look at them.

First, the minor one. We have created Steam Store page for the DLC. So now you can add the DLC to your wishlist and spread the DLC to others ;)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2199200/Nebuchadnezzar_The_Adventures_of_Sargon/

And now the bigger one. Let me introduce you one of the biggest features of the upcoming Adventures of Sargon DLC, the dialogs system.

As you have heard from us many times already, we are big fans of history. And we like to show history also to others. But a wall of text is often not the best approach. So in the upcoming DLC we have created a completely new system to draw players into the story.

And it’s a dialog system. The entire campaign will be accompanied by many ingame dialogues, through which the player will get to know and experience the whole story of the Sargon II and Mesopotamia during his reign.

All of these dialogs will be fully voice acted and players will meet many historical figures through them. From foreign kings coveting Assyrian soil among not always loyal vassals to local rebels trying their luck.

And that's all for today. Stay tuned and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram. You can also join our Discord server!

Until the next time!
