A new version (v117) is now available. It adds tutorial hints to the game. The tutorial hints will show only on new games, not existing. So if you want to see the tutorial, you have to select 'RESTART' from the menu.

So yesterday, `Imhotep, Pyramid Builder' launched on steam. To those playing the game: thank you for your support. I've noticed much confusion on game play, so that is why I just put out a new release: v116. Changes: * Now, the `transcribe hieroglyphs' option is enabled by default, causing less confusion for new players, hopefully. * Now, WASD keys can be used to scroll the map, as can the cursor keys. Thank you, Bram Stolk Author of `Imhotep, Pyramid Builder' PS: If you still have trouble understanding the game: please see the GUIDE. There is a link in the game's menu to it. PPS: I would like to offer my apologies to Mac gamers: yesterday, not all Mac files were active on the store. It should work now.

Do you like watching others do all the work?
Cats do!
In this unique game you will plan, direct and oversee the construction of a Pyramid in Ancient Egypt.
Organize agriculture, plan the village, direct the building and watch thousands of workers on screen, in real time.
Or not: You may be forced to watch them die of exhaustion.
Which is all caused by your incapacity of planning the biggest project on earth.
So rise to the occasion, and get that thing built, stone by stone!
Game Play
Your first challenge, should you accept it, is to decipher the hieroglyphic User Interface.
Yes, that's right, the UI uses genuine ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
But if you want, you can cheat, and enable transcription into English.
You will need to build a food supply with farms and bakeries, and provide shelter for the workers.
And you will also need to hire your labour force.
Be careful though: do not hire more than you can feed and shelter: they may die if you fail to do so.
Oh, and don't run out of silver either. It is what buys you buildings and labour.
Labour
You will need to hire:- Irrigation Workers
- Farmers
- Household Servants
- Builders
All of these workers will go about their lives autonomously, in one massive and unparalleled crowd simulation that can grow into a force of thousands of workers.
But for the impatient Imhoteps among you: you can speed things along by picking up individual workers and place them back anywhere in the world.
Buildings
- Farms are the backbone of your civilization. They require irrigation, and provide grain.
- Bakeries will turn grain into food.
- Tax offices will take the surplus food and provide the project with much needed silver.
- Huts are required to shelter your workers when they become exhausted. Food is distributed to them.
