ISG Dev Diary #21: Towards Expansion 3 and Free Update 1.6

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while since we last reached out and we thought it’d be a good time to provide an update on the ongoing activities and on what you can expect next for Interstellar Space: Genesis.

I’m pleased to report that development activities are unfolding as we announced in our previous update.

Expansion 3

Work on our third expansion is underway. We know you’re probably curious about what expansion 3 entails. While it’s a bit too soon to get into all the details, what we can share is this expansion will present a variety of new content and gameplay features that aim to add more excitement, challenge, and also reveal more of the ISG universe and lore, providing for an experience of epic proportions. It’s exciting stuff, and we can’t wait to start sharing more info about it with you in the near future. We promise it’s going to be worth the wait!

Free Update 1.6

The free major update 1.6 is coming along very nicely, and is slated to be released later this year! For the 1.6 update, and as usual, you can expect free new content with improvements, bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality of life enhancements for everyone to enjoy!

Soon, you’ll know all the details, but we can already advance that alongside the usual bug fixes and many tweaks and improvements, there will be new features, many in reply to your suggestions, including: the ability to adjust the wormhole lines’ brightness (including disabling them); the ability to move weapon components up and down in the ship design screen; the possibility of listing leaders by status (unassigned or assigned first); hovering over torpedoes and missiles will now highlight the ships’ they’re targeting, just to name a few changes. Much, much more is coming!

Ongoing Sale

In the meantime, we hope you’re enjoying the game with its current 1.5.3 update. If you haven’t already purchased the game or our first and second expansions, Natural Law and Evolving Empires, it’s a great time right now to do so at a discount during the sale on Steam and GOG that is running at the moment.

As you know, we’re doing all we can to keep improving the game and to win your support. If you have a few minutes to spare, and have been enjoying what we do, please leave us a review on Steam or on GOG! ❤️
