After about one year of being in public pre-alpha/alpha early access testing, we've decided it's time to do closed testing. There are a couple reasons why, which will reveal themselves in the near future. As of July 31st, Civil is no longer a buyable game on Steam.
What does this mean for people who have copies?
Nothing. Closing alpha just means Civil will not be buyable for people who don't own copies of the game. Right now, we don't have hardly enough features for the game to be sellable, and we've decided it's best that we avoid selling people an unfinished game. If you've purchased or won a copy of the game, you can still receive updates, install, uninstall, and play!
Closing sales will not last forever; Civil is not discontinued, just temporarily closed. We cannot estimate how long this will last, but when Civil goes into beta, we may be ready to do open testing again. If not, the game will be back on sale when it releases.
Thank you all for your patience! There will be new announcements soon. Exciting things are in the works that will bring life into the game, and we're excited to share it! More news will follow, so stay tuned!

0.1 Update Coming June 19th
Good afternoon, Civilians! It's been a long time since our last announcement. A lot has been in the works over these past few months, and we're getting ready to release it into the wild. If you follow our YouTube Channel, you know we have been hard at work preparing this next update!
So, what can you expect from the Alpha update? New art, gameplay, items, saving systems, and tools for creators! We have been strongly focusing on our small community since the pre-alpha release (0.0.4c), and have created tools for the community to create their very own game servers using the Civil Dedicated Server. The server tools are officially launching June 19th with the Alpha update itself! This is the first step we will be taking to truly build this game as a community.
The Alpha is a complete rework of what we had before. All of the art and source code have been recreated from the ground up, and we are striving for more optimal functionality than ever! This being said, the initial launch may result in some network errors or bugs we will patch as we climb more into the Summer.
Being in Alpha phase means we can secure a solid foundation and finally start the journey to making the awesome game Civil was always meant to be. This means regular content updates, exciting events, and more! We are very excited for this, and hope you are too.
Keep in touch with development up close on our Discord Server, and, as always, stay civil!
