A stripped-down version of the game is now open source. Functionality and content is limited: https://github.com/McDev02/Endciv-OpenSource
In case you need support and help with development visit the Discord Server: https://discord.gg/UC9PjhF
In case you have a concrete interest in continuing the development of Endciv as a "fan" project or your own derivative of it, based on the full project and additional sources, then reach out to: [email protected]
All this is done to provide potential content for customers as I have promised in the past if development won't finish. Maybe the game will continue somehow, maybe other games are made quicker with parts of the code base from Endciv. Maybe a new open-source and free game will be made and I am glad to help if I can as this project is not easy to work with but provides the fundamental basics to kickstart a project quicker.
Not only for personal reasons development of Endciv had to be halted and is now finally taken down from sale on Steam as soon as possible.
EDIT: I'll consider the sale/price drop beforehand.
