Steam Greenlight plans and first screenshots

Probably these are the news you have been expecting from the moment we announced Ultimate: General Gettysburg development.

Friends and supporters … the alpha version is very close to finish! Our first playable build is right now at the hands of selected testers and we are actively preparing for the Steam Greenlight campaign.

Limited focus testing

Today we are publishing first images of actual gameplay. The following images are from current playable version of the game that a small group of testers have been testing for almost 2 weeks now, providing valuable advices and feedback. First reports reveal that our AI is indeed solid and challenging as we were hoping and the coming month we are going to work on improving gameplay mechanics.

Preparing for the Greenlight

Following up the very warm reception about our game project we are making final preparations to start promoting Ultimate General: Gettysburg in Steam Greenlight. Our plan is to release an early access alpha to users for a modest price through Steam. We would like to offer a product that will satisfy you and so we are not going to make a hasty early release with full price unless we are sure that the game is polished, fun and beautiful.

  • We will start posting more screenshots and those you like more will be added to our upcoming Greenlight page.
  • If possible we will post a draft video (that is required for Steam) for your review and comments.
  • Closed Testing will continue and team of volunteer testers will be expanded.
