First screenshots from Galactic Civilization III now available

Stardock has released the first batch of sceenshots from Galactic Civilization III and they are about what you would expect from a 4X game as you get to see a good looking update of the galaxy map, pictures of two of the ships, and a shot of one of the aliens from the game.

The company has also released a development update on the game and so far it looks like things are moving along well for an Alpha release this February and a beta launch sometime in the spring.  This is one of my most anticipated games of 2014 although I fear for my free time once the game is released.
