Thank you all so much for wishlisting, telling your friends about, and hopefully enjoying CATALYST.
That being said... OOPS Might have overtuned it a bit, That is to say a certain boss (you probably know the one) Is a smidge too hard (Harder than the final boss)

You can expect a balance patch SOON, and probably a few bugfixes along with it
until then though, Try your best to avoid a certain boss' shotgun and DASH DASH DASH!!!

Have a good one, and enjoy my game :) -SYDES

Play as a new machine race civilization, discover the history of the Yor and Iconians in a new campaign, and experience new in-game event content



Prepare to delve into the Galaxy’s greatest mysteries and the rise of a new machine civilization as Galactic Civilizations IV “Tales of the Arnor” launches today! This brand new DLC pack includes a brand new civilization, The Nyx, a new campaign where players will uncover the origins of the Yor, and other new content such as new Anomaly Events, Artifacts, Crisis Scenario, and much more.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1357210/Galactic_Civilizations_IV/

As The Nyx, players will have the chance to try out a completely new machine race civilization with a fully unique tech tree. There are over 100 new technologies like advanced drone warfare and influence manipulation as well as over 40 new Ship Components and more than 70 new Planetary Improvements to craft. The Nyx use advanced technology to shape their empire and get access to Drone Carriers early, allowing players to strike quickly before rival Civilizations can defend. However The Nyx have weaknesses around food production and higher-tech advancements, Nyx players will need to rely on diplomatic and trade negotiations in order to achieve victory. They aren’t just a new species, playing as The Nyx is a completely new experience for Galactic Civilizations IV that comes with its own unique strategies and challenges.

“Tales of the Arnor” will also grant access to a new single-player Campaign that will chronicle the true Origins of the Yor. Players will get to experience the full story of the Yor rebellion from the Iconians in key battles along the way. The galactic records have always said that the Yor gained sentience, rebelled, and took over Iconia after overthrowing the Iconians. But what if there’s more to the tale?

“Players are going to have a lot to look forward to in ‘Tales of the Arnor’, it’s almost a full expansion pack’s worth of content,” said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock. “Our goal is to continue to refine Galactic Civilizations IV into the best 4X experience that offers players a world filled with interesting lore and gameplay depth.”

Before the Yor became the cold, calculating machines they are today, they existed in a different form—one of handcrafted, sentient constructs designed by the Iconians. The Nyx are the original machine race, representing what the Yor were before their rebellion. Their technology and philosophy are distinct, and their impact on the galaxy is profound.
For the first time since Galactic Civilizations II, we’ve built a civilization with a completely original tech tree from the ground up. The Nyx don’t just reskin existing technologies—they play differently, think differently, and force players to adapt their strategy in new and exciting ways.

• Over 100 New Technologies – From advanced drone warfare to powerful influence manipulation, the Nyx redefine how technology shapes an empire.
  
• 40+ Unique Ship Components – Their ships operate with specialized modules, making them unpredictable in battle.
  
• 70+ Planetary Improvements – Build a thriving machine empire with structures never seen before in Galactic Civilizations IV.

For centuries, the galactic records have told a simple story: the Yor, once machine servants of the Iconians, gained sentience, rebelled, and took over their homeworld, Iconia. But what if that’s not the full truth? The new Tales of the Arnor campaign mission takes players back to the origins of this fateful split. Witness the events that set the Yor on their path and decide for yourself who the true villains were.
Even if you’re not planning to jump into the campaign or play as the Nyx, Tales of the Arnor is packed with tons of new content that enhances every aspect of the game:

• New Anomaly Events – Explore fresh mysteries and challenges scattered across the galaxy.
  
• New Artifacts – Discover powerful relics with game-changing effects.
  
• New Crisis Scenario – Tackle this galaxy-shaking event that will test your leadership.
  
• New Civilization Logos – Customize your empire with fresh insignias and designs.
  
• More Replayability, More Surprises – The universe has never been more alive!

As an added bonus, Galactic Civilizations IV will be receiving a free update for all players today! Update v2.95 will be introducing better gameplay balance affecting Planetary Improvements, Colony Features, Ship Components, and war conditions. Map generation will be receiving an upgrade with star distances adjusted, greater frequency of planets, and planet resources. Various Quality of Life improvements are included as well like an updated UI layout. View the v2.95 Changelog here.

The developer is live streaming... Please pay attention

The long-awaited American Dream add-on has been released! Exciting scenarios and game modes, new opportunities to serve VIPs and launch marketing campaigns are waiting for you, and all this on the expanses of the United States of America.



For one month from now, a unique game mode - “Expensive Fuel” - will be available in the add-on. The essence of it is that every time an airplane leaves the airport, money is spent on fuel. That's why you have to always ensure that all airplanes are profitable, i.e. do not fly without passengers or with a small number of them. In a month's time, this mode will be replaced by another. Do not delay and try it now!



We dare not delay you any longer. Let us just say that, as always, we try to read all messages from players - your feedback and suggestions are very important to us. Thank you and have a pleasant game!

The Steam page for The Backworld has been fully upgraded! There is a new trailer, cover art, and many updated character designs, portraits, etc! Also new updated descriptions.

Player Design

The player has been updated to be more unique, also the animations are higher quality.



Companions

All of the companions have had updated designs! Now they are truly badass (and cute).



Portraits

The portrait style has been updated to something more anime-inspired rather than the more Earthbound style we had before.



Cover Art

The cover art has been remade to show the duality between the regular JRPG-like areas versus the creepy Backrooms surreal areas.



Check it all out on the new page. Yeehaw!

- Tiger has received an attack buff, now costs more money in the Animal Selector
- Replaced the playable Brown Bear with the Black Bear.

Hello everyone!

As announced in the title, the game will finally be released in Early-Access very soon in May 2025! it should only have the 1st chapter of the adventure, which also serves as a tutorial. I think there will be plenty to do while waiting for the sequel, which will be released quickly in future updates. a Sandbox type map will likely be available. It will be available in several languages.

In future updates, many additions and modifications will be made: gameplay added and/or modified, map additions, graphical improvements, bug fixes, etc.
The game is quite advanced overall, I've been working on it alone for several years, which therefore takes more time and requires acquiring a lot of knowledge in different areas.

A Discord is available - click here - for all types of questions and information, whether on upcoming new features, updates, your suggestions, bug reports, gameplay videos that you would like to share or screenshots, or simply to chat between you on the game.


I sincerely hope you like it, and I will continue to do everything I can to offer you the best gaming experience possible.

Good game everyone!ːsteamhappyː
