It's actually made by Sid for once. Same team he made Ace Patrol with, nice little time waster game.
I mostly hope this has more depth and such than those two.

Sid Meier is mostly the old guru guy around the office. He helps out with things when needed, occaisionally takes a more active role if he thinks he needs to, but he has not been a lead developer on their main titles since the original Civilization.
He does occasionally lead smaller projects, but they have a mixed history. he was always excited and proud during interviews for CivWOrl, which turned out to be a generic and dare I say embarrassing Facebook "game" and honestly after that I lost a lot of faith in him. He also headed development of Civ Rev 2 for Android and iOS, which I only learned about via wikipedia. It was okay, apparently. Nothing great.
Hopefully this ends up being more of a Ace Patrol in space game, but I'm not expecting it to have much more depth than that.

He wasn't. In fact he only designed the first Civ.Vieira said:

Which is why the games have been so hit and miss, from the excellent Civ 2 to the dreadful Civ 3 to the great Civ 4 to the *rotates hand back and forth* Civ 5.
