hey I’m a solo gamedev and I recently launched the demo for Folk Emerging.
if you’re into turn-based strategy games like Civilization and enjoy in-depth characters, cultures, and ecosystems, then this might be for you!
curious to hear what folks around here think
@athatet gave a great summary, and the Civ games are the biggest mainstream example of 4X games. there are many sub-genres and lots of games that use it as a foundation but extend it in various ways, and Folk Emerging does that too by centering around nomadic gameplay and complex ecosystems
