Hi wildanimal86 - 3rd World Farmer currently includes a Brazilian Portuguese translation - I hear there are some differences between that and the Portuguese spoken in Portugal, but that you guys still understand each other?

Thanks, glad you think it looks good! We're big fans of Sid Meier's Civilization series, and some aspects of 3rdworldfarmer are loosely comparable to Civilization: Planting crops could be seen as allocating workers to irrigate land, sending kids to school to improve their productivity and job/marriage prospects could be seen as investing in science, buying livestock and buildings could be seen as building pastures and improving your capitol. There's also road-building. And the larger projects like clinics, communications and political representation could be seen as completing 'wonders' or choosing 'policies' in civilization terminology. Corrupt officials and guerilla raids are also reminiscent of being raided by 'barbarians' in civilization. But of course our game is much smaller and focuses on just one small subset of all the possible historical storylines covered in civilization. But an important subset, we think.

Thanks, glad you like it! We're still only in the pre-registration phase, so not sure about prices yet. We might charge a bit instead of interrupting the game with ads and all that. By the way, pre-registering just means you get a notification when the game is live, so there's no commitment or payment involved at this point.
