Awesome!

This stuff will all be archived there if we become founders at a later date, right?

In other words, a day one Galciv 3 founder and the final day available Galciv 3 founder will get the same content.

I'm only asking because some other founder's programs had staggered rewards depending on when a user became a founder.

We don't have any plans currently to remove content from the Repository.

Maybe some kind alpha or in-house tools for creating (mod) content when the alpha is available? I don't care personally, but just a thought. Who knows, maybe those even work better if the modders get a chance to give feedback before it is too late.

I don't know why but I keep thinking "suppository".

But I do have a new idea for a game feature!...

Woot!

Works for me this morning, love the expanded title theme, nice update to the GC2 theme, sounds a lot bigger.

Nice work

I don't know about this limiting people's access to interesting information about something they love.  Why does it matter when you became a founder or even if you are a founder?  We are a community.  I would vote to throw it open to everyone.  

I'm very fortunate to be working right now and to be someone who can participate financially in the development projects I love; like Gal Civ III and projects on Kickstarter.  I participate because they are worthwhile undertakings and seek to produce creative artifacts that should exist in our world.  I would hate to think others are prevented from sharing in these joys just because they don't have the money right now.

Mr. Gorbachev tear down these pay walls!

I have bought the Founder's elite Edition (I checked, it's waiting in the my downloads section) and get this message: "Sorry, it appears that you do not have access to the Founder's Repository. To obtain access you need have purchased the the Founder's Edition of Galactic Civilizations III."

Anyone know what the deal is here?

There was one guy who had to wait something like 2 days before his forum badge showed up.  I'd posit that once your badge shows up, you'll be able to log on as a founder.

To maybe speed things up a bit, you could try sending the OP of this thread (abiessener) a PM asking him to look into it.  He's a Stardock dude and likely has his finger on the pulse of things.

Me too that's all they ever talk about. Haha.

Double post.

Nice, we will be able to use different colors for hulls and windows in the ship editor. What is a texure though?

Think materials.  In GalCiv II, you could change color but you couldn't change material (graphics technology wasn't there yet).  Different substances interact with light in different ways.

Heh, of course, in GalCiv II, we didn't even have self-shadowing!
