Interstellar Space: Genesis – Terrains Pack is Available Now!

Interstellar Space: Genesis – Terrains Pack is available now!

Hello everyone!

We’re thrilled to present to you today a new piece of content called Interstellar Space: Genesis – Terrains Pack!

One thing we’ve been hearing in player feedback for a while now is that the game could have more terrains, so colonies would look different when you build a few in the same biome. The Terrains Pack adds more variety in colony backgrounds with a selection of new 3D terrains, for a more immersive and complete experience!

The Terrains Pack includes 2 new hand-crafted terrains for each of the 7 different biomes (Terran, Desert, Lava, Acid, Ice, Swamp, and Barren), for a total of 14 completely new and unique 3D terrains!

The new terrains are the ones you can see in the trailer above, and in the screenshot...

ISG Dev Diary #23: Update 1.6.2 and Terrains Pack

ISG_dev_diary_23_update_1_6_2_and_TerrainsPack_final.jpg

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re enjoying your time playing ISG with the latest version (1.6, now 1.6.1) released this past November. In the meantime, we’ve been working on the next update, the third expansion pack, and a new piece of content that was still unannounced, called Terrains Pack, to be released later today.

Free Update 1.6.2

One thing we’ve been hearing in player feedback for a while now is that the game could have more terrains, so colonies would look different when you build a few of them in the same biome type. Adding new 3D terrains is not trivial and can be quite time-consuming. However, we thought it was time to add something extra in the next update.

Therefore, included in the 1.6...

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.

Work on our third expansion is underway. We know you’re probably curious about what expansion 3 entails.

ISG Dev Diary #18: Evolving Empires – Natural Law Evolutions

With the release of Evolving Empires rapidly approaching, we’ve got just enough time for one final dev diary. I’m Keith, back one final time to cover something we’ve hinted at a few times now, the Evolutions coming for the races introduced in Natural Law!

EVOLVING AN EXPANSION

CoverArt_1920_1080_Natural_Law_PNG.png

When I first sat down to write the biographies and design the lore for the two races introduced in Natural Law, the Cerixx Sentinels and Palacean Assembly, I had grand visions for who they were and how their societies operated. While the concept of evolutions was not yet on the table or in any way set in stone at that time, the groundwork was laid to allow them to evolve into something even greater should an opportunity present itself.

When we later decided to implement Evolutions and began to design the sets fo...

ISG Dev Diary #17 : Evolving Empires – Minor Civilizations

Now that our empires have begun to evolve, it’s time for our next dev diary on Evolving Empires! I’m Keith, here again to be your captain as we survey the galaxy together in search of answers regarding the many wondrous hidden civilizations waiting to be discovered in this expansion.

NEW LIFE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES

From an early stage, player feedback as well as our own experiences made it clear that the exploration aspect of the game was both well regarded and ripe for expansion. It seems there’s just something about discovering hidden things, be it planetary specials and ruins, strategic resources, or even entire stars and planets, that brings a great deal of excitement and joy to our play experiences...

Welcome back everyone for our second dev diary on Evolving Empires! I’m Keith, here today to be your guide as we take a closer look at the game changing abilities you’ll soon be able to unlock across this expansion’s Evolution trees!

ISG Dev Diary #15 : Evolving Empires – Evolutions

Greetings everyone! By now, you’ve surely heard about our latest expansion, Evolving Empires, but if not, please go check out the trailer and store page. I’m Keith, one of the designers behind this expansion, and as a huge fan of asymmetric gameplay, I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to talk to you today about one of its key new features, Evolutions!

JUST WHAT ARE EVOLUTIONS, ANYWAY?

While every race in the game has always had its own racial traits, unique abilities, biome preferences, government types, and titan abilities, we knew there was still more we could do to truly bring the thematic flavor of each race to life...
