Playing

In development, Civitas is using several assets that are copyrighted by Bluebyte, so I cannot redistribute them with the game. In the future, the game will have a brand new set of graphics but for now those will be enough for testing. You can find a link to the said assets in this Gitee or this GitHub issue. All the other game resources are freely distributed under the GPLv3 license, same as the code.

1. With Docker

$ docker build -t civitas .

$ docker run --name civitas-dev -d -p 10082:80 civitas

And point your browser to http://localhost:10082.

2. Local

Choose an archive format from below, download and uncompress it. Point your browser to index.html, you don't need a game server to play.
