If you're new to Galimulator, you should know that it is a game that is regularly (for the three years at last) getting new features, and being updated every couple of months. Updates and new features are always completely free, of course. Here's the latest batch of new things:
Religions in the game! See the rise and fall of faiths! Will the Rationis Lumine come to terms with the followers of Pingoism?
Emperor mode improvements, including:
Direct diplomatic window where you can propose peace / alliances etc
War room - where you can see ongoing wars and allocate generals to fronts
An option to "step" forward time in smaller increment
A help screen with all the shortcuts in the game (check it out!)
Fullscreen mode
Webbed starlanes
Shortcut for "Escape" button to close current window
Setting to disable ALL WILL BE ASHES (ok you guys finally get what you want!)
Setting to disable Conspiracies (they are a bit underwhelming right now anyway)
Death match mode - create lists of empires to pre-put in the game
Fix to show auras when stars are disabled (e.g. show wealth on earth maps)
A button to make ships fleet commanders
A big Giant Wheel

Oh, and in the next version, looks like there will be ... planets!

Pricing issues resolved!
It now looks like the pricing issues have been resolved, and Galimulator is finally available to buy globally! Thanks for your patience! ːsteamhappyː
Pricing issues outside of the US
Unfortunately I have an issue with the pricing of the game outside of the US, as in, there are no prices at all. Currently, I am waiting for Steam to approve my proposed non-USD pricing, which means that the game is temporarily unavailable. According to their documentation, it should be cleared within 1-2 business days, which seems to mean on Monday ...
I'm really sorry about this. Meanwhile, the game is available globally on itch.io for the same price, you can buy it there and you will be able to get a Steam key for it later.
