Why you don't like GTK3? What would you prefer instead?
Mostly historical reasons -- I'm still bitter that the gnome devs just unceremoniously threw gnome2 out the window and said that everyone should use the monstrosity that is gnome3 instead. :sick:
I also particularly don't like Gnome devs hostile attitude towards end users who don't want to use their defaults, their tendency to break themes every six months (allegedly they've stopped doing this now?), and them telling application devs that they should only have code for gtk/gnome-specific "features" (instead of coding for multiple DEs), etc..

What I prefer instead is anything that isn't gtk3. Like I said, I'd rather run a Windows application than a native Linux gtk3 app.
I too can't stand Gnome3. So instead I use Mate and occasionally Cinnamon . . . both of which, I believe, use gtk3. So I feel you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater there.
Yeah sorry WorMzy but I fail to understand why you don't like GTK3 itself. GTK2/3 and Gnome2/3 are different things.
Just because you hate the Gnome devs, you hate GTK3 too?

I hate the Gnome 3 desktop too (it feel like a tablet or something, so boring to not have many configurations available at start etc), I use XFCE. But maybe I don't know some important things about it, and I'm not a dev myself.
Or rather, why Qt is better than GTK3?

It's very cute, it's a shame for the failed KS campaign, I'll keep an eye on it!

The demo is also available on itch.io [External Link].
I will try it out soon.

Quote of the devs on itch.io [External Link]:

Mac and Linux Support

One of the biggest reasons we were hesitant on Mac and Linux support was the upcoming Multiplayer feature, but by removing that, we've went ahead and made some test builds for Mac and Linux. We can always use more feedback if these are working well for you so please let us know!

Nebuchadnezzar looks like a beautifully styled classic isometric city builder coming to Linux

For me Pharaoh and Zeus are masterpieces (even though Zeus is easier than Pharaoh), I love these games too!

I'm happy to see this type of game come back to the scene, but I hope it will have some fresh features and won't be just a "clone".
From the trailer it looks pretty nice, I just don't like the NPC's size.

And I really hope for a release out of Steam (itch.io or GOG...).
