A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Nikhil Murthy's Syphilisation is a "postcolonial 4X game", which might sound like a contradiction in terms. While approaches to 4X and grand strategy vary hugely between games, factions and players, the genre as a whole is firmly wedded to imperial conquest, both structurally and at the level of narrative aspects and set-dressing. Many 4X games are triumphal re-enactments of specific periods of colonial settlement and expansion. All of which is to say that Syphilisation is fascinating. It's a reworking of the genre which dismantles and reconstructs concepts such as diplomacy, research and prod
Syphilisation, a postcolonial 4X game in which you play a student doing a group report on Gandhi, Churchill and the Raj, is now out of early access! What is this? Syphilisation is a postcolonial 4X game. In this game, I went through the standard patterns of 4X games and devised postcolonial alternatives. In particular, I try to show that the ideas of winner-take-all and growth-for-the-sake-of-growth that underpin most of the genre have viable alternatives. It's a game that allows you to try empathy. What does that mean? In practical terms, this resulted in the following features: Cooperative w
Here's a sneak peek at the 1.0 release. This only has minor changes, most notably a buff to delivering fabric to quests and a minimap tweak. Syphilisation is getting out of Early Access in September 1st and so I'm putting the final build live a bit early to test it out a bit.
I just put in achievements for completing views. Good luck getting all of them. I also updated conversations so that both players get the results. It should be easier now to have other players generating quiet if you're trying to avoid climate change. You can also inspire on a sanctum to get and complete new quests. There are a few other minor fixes in this update.
We're in the final stretch before release right now. The only planned features left are all infrastructure stuff like achievements and save sharing. If you have any feedback or anything you want changed, now is the best time to tell me. This update is also mostly playability fixes but the quiet path is much more viable now than before. It might take a couple of things breaking your way, but you should find it very doable now. It plays very differently, so check it out!
Bug fixes, flow changes and UI improvements.
- More tutorializing - Better Combat AI - Pollution fixes. - Minor streamlining.
- Lots of fixes to the flow. The game moves much faster now. - Major fixes to the fabric economy. You should be able to generate fabric as you need now. - QoL fixes across the board.
