Hallo Catham, thank you for your valuable feedback.
If you like you can send me a mail at:
theotheoderich (at) gmx.de
Then I can send you a LHA file with the latest development version.
And if you also like we can have a multiplayer test session via Steam.
Settle the World can be run using the free RetroArch Emulator.
With Steam Remote Play I can invite you to a multiplayer gaming session. You do not need to install anything at your side. You only need a Steam Account (and perhaps Discord, so we can talk).
It is important to me to get a direct feedback from other players.
So it would be nice to have a multiplayer session, where I can show and explain you the game.
I am located in Germany, but we can talk englisch :-)
Would be great to play the game with somebody who likes such games.
Please write me an email if you are interested in having a multiplayer gaming session.

i appreciate the enthusiasm but im not much of a chatter anymore , i was just testing mister fpga stuff and came across this, i certainly have a steam account : https://janesondergrond.art/index/janesgeems.php click steam profile you can always add but i dont chat much there either, i also dont have a windows partition anymore since the last one somehow forced my ssd firmware into a state of "overused" and i cant undo it (its a new one so its almost impossible that its past its read/write maximum) but before i go offtopic too much ill certainly keep an eye on it, but mostly running it from mister fpga so to me the .vhd files are better . If this is a game-jam game then gamejams certainly have evolved lol.
actually its not that im not willing to try but i cant promise making several hours at once, and i dont know if retroarch runs the same on linux, maybe if you have some kind of PBEM mode like alpha centauri had, in that case i could do my turns when it suits , i certainly would give that a try, the old PBEM days are quite missable, like ppl who used to play chess by sending letters across the country or continent one move at a time (maybe im too ancient for the 2024 times) at any rate its great to see stuff like that being developed if you can do PBEM let me know ill be one of your strategic pen-pals lol
Thank you for your answer.
No stress ;-)
It would be possible to send a savestate via email, but I do not think that would be fun. In the early game you need only one or two minutes for your turn.
Would take ages to play such a game sending savefiles via email after every turn.
Was just a question, I'm always looking for people who would like to play Settle the World with me one evening ;-)
i understand, its like i said its for patient people and not of this time anymore ... ill give it a run tho with 2 or more players i against i and if i bump into something i'll let you know. Would be nice to see an a.i. but i have a hunch how not simple that is. Good luck with it, id love to see it happen, new stuff post-2020 that runs on fpga is always awesome
