Test your urban planning skills and build an ancient city close to the River Nile.

Builders of Egypt from Strategy Lab is coming soon DRM-free on GOG.COM. This strategic simulation game will enable you to become a city governor and the Pharaoh's loyal subject.
This does look rather interesting. Nice soundtrack as well! Added it to my wishlist so I can keep an eye on it.
This game really does look fantastic. Hopefully we will see this one released soon enough.
Looks like a brand new Children of the Nile i have been recently been playing it again.
Had it wishlisted on steam for over a year. Great to see this game here! :)
Looks beautiful, engaging and full of life. Definitely caught my attention.
Build on Unreal Engine, if trailer serves me right? Interesting choice for a city builder and congrats for your choice!
As someone who found Children of the Nile immensely enjoyable, I will be waiting for the title.
Would have preferred a Linux port.

That's what it looks like to me too: a (hopefully) improved CoTN, although that is hard to do. Children also had mod scenarios you could add. I hope this loses me in it's world for hours also!
Wow, it's being released on GoG. Looking forward to it. Really getting strong Pharaoh vibes. This is a missed oportunity of the holders of the Pharaoh IP. It still holds up really well today, but I've been waiting for a second game with (not better) but newer graphics.
From steam post, it will be "released" as an early access title before the end of the year. To quote a dev on the forum, "early access, which will include 4 campaign missions and sandbox mode." From reading the forum, it sounds like a one-man dev team, or very small.

Just because a game gets announced on GOG as "Coming Soon", doesn't necessarily mean, it will be released on GOG "on day one".

shrug
Looks pretty but unfortunately looks like it released with lots of issues and no prospect of long-term updates/support:

Might take even longer then, if it's just going to be a single dev-affair from here on:

"Some of you may already know about the gradual closure of Strategy Labs, which means that the dream of creating new games will remain just that—a dream. However, I, as the game's creator, will stay at the helm to improve Builders of Egypt, fix all encountered bugs, and work on its further development.

In the near future, I’ll share a roadmap with you, outlining where I want to take the game. We all know there’s still a lot to be done, but let’s keep our expectations realistic—this journey won’t culminate in a Builders of Egypt 2.0. That said, I hope to deliver a solid 1.5 version, which will introduce significant improvements and provide a glimmer of hope for a better experience."
