Cities3D 0.7 now available

Cities3D 0.7 is now available for download. It has all Seafarers of Catan maps and rulesets completed, as well as several basic game options (also known as variants), and some nifty UI improvements, like popups on build windows that let new players know exactly how much an item costs.

Follow the links on the Cities3D Project Homepage to see Release Notes, download the new version, and learn how to report bugs.

NOTE: You must uninstall any previous version of Cities3D, including removing player and game databases. If you don't do this, Cities3D 0.7 will crash on startup.

The focus of Cities3D development is now on the ultimate goal: Cities & Knights of Catan. The groundwork has been covered over the past 2+ years, the foundation carefully laid, everything painstakingly plotted and planned for what comes next. Yes, the time has finally come to implement Cities & Knights. The next version, 0.8, will have all of C&K rules without progress cards. The following version, 0.9, will implement all of the progress cards.

Remember that there is no built-in game finding software in Cities3D yet, so to play online, you will have to arrange a game with someone acting as the host and everyone connecting to their IP address. The IRC channel #settlers on irc.freenode.net is a good place to look for people testing the game.

Looking good man. I'm away from the majority of my settlers playing friends so this wonderful game of yours is invaluable in getting my settlers fix :) Thanks again, Later.
 
Once again nice work, Jason :)
 
Eagerly anticipating the 1.0 version of Cities3D!
 
I'm confused, does it have actual Cities game play yet or is it just Normal Catan?
 
At the moment it only has standard and seafarers, but as of this very moment, Jason's coding Cities & Knights into it. So expect Cities3D 0.8 with the first Cities & Knights rules implemented somewhere in September? :)
 
I should have 0.7.1 out this week, which includes all of the rules related to knights. Then I go on holiday for 2 weeks. Then I'll come back and start work on the rest of the things required for 0.8
 
Holiday?? That's ridiculous! Completely unheard of. I protest! Nah, just kidding ;). You deserve it :P. Where are you going on holiday to? :)
 
I've been anxiously waiting for linux builds... where are they?
 
There seem to be fairly concrete plans on what will be worked on for future versions of this software. When do you plan on adding the "game finding" feature?
 
Someone please respond to my answer. When do you plan on adding the "game finding" feature?
 
I just wanted to say, keep up the good work. If I had any applicable skills I'd try to help.

Cheers,

Here is the roadmap for Cities3D and Cities Online development:

You can see that game finding kicks in around version 1.0.3.
 
Thank you very much.
 
I loved Sea3d on my Windows comp... Now that I've got a Mac, I'm eagerly awaiting the full release of Cities3d. Thanks for all your work!
 
Is it going to be able to play this version with the ladder system or is this just an stand alone version? Svenne
 
Cities3D will get a completely new ladder system once we're past v1.1. At the moment we're still at 0.7.3, so there's still quite some work left before the ladder will be implemented.

But don't worry... it'll come ;).
 
I'm considering hacking in game finding into 0.8 so that Cities3D uses the s3dconnector site to make it easier for people to find games and play test.

Stay tuned...
 
Mmm... I see :). Interesting ;).
