Update 1.2.4 Released

This smaller update adds ‘auto-combat’ as an option directly from the combat encounter screen. Also, some diplomacy, AI and UI tweaks and a few bug fixes.

This update is available on Steam, Humble Bundle and Itchio. Instructions on how to get the update for all stores can be found here.

Saves should be 100% compatible. The diplomatic changes will require new games and new custom races to take effect though. Editing and saving your current custom races will do the trick even if nothing is changed and will allow your existing custom races to use the new diplomacy changes.

Thanks to all who bought the game and the Natural Law expansion, and everyone who gave feedback and help us answer the questions of new players. Many thanks also to all who have reviewed the game so far...

ISG_1_2_3_GalaxyMap.png

Hello everyone!

We’re happy to bring you another Interstellar Space: Genesis update! This is mainly a graphics and polish update with major improvements done to the galaxy map graphics as for other QoL improvements and a few bug fixes.

The update is now available on Steam and on Humble Bundle and Itchio.

Compatibility: Saves from 1.2.2 should be compatible with this new version, but it’s advisable to start new games to benefit from the new improvements fully and to avoid any unexpected issues. If for any reason you wish to continue with the previous version, please use the Steam betas feature (“old_version” branch) to go back to that version.

Thanks to all who have bought the game so far and for everyone who provided feedback. You’re awesome!

As you know, we’re doing all we can to keep im...

ISG Dev Diary #13: Natural Law – The Cerixx

Greeting citizens! I’m Keith and I’m here today to share with you our second dev diary about Interstellar Space Genesis’s first expansion, Natural Law. This time I’m going to present you with all the evidence we have about our second new race, the Cerixx.

THE HIGH COURT OF THE CERIXX

From their homeworld’s high court, the Justice Division of the Cerixx Sentinels serves as the galaxy’s self-proclaimed judge, jury, and executioner. The Cerixx assert the galactic laws they enforce are for the common good, but rumors of rampant corruption have led many to allege they are nothing but a self-serving criminal enterprise. In response, the Cerixx have made the counterclaim that the galaxy is a dangerous place and it sure would be a shame if something happened to their accusers.

For nearly their en...

ISG Dev Diary #12: Natural Law – The Palacean

Hi everyone, I’m Keith, one of the designers of Interstellar Space Genesis’ first expansion, Natural Law. In today’s diary, I have the honor of giving you a deeper dive into one of our two new races, the one that puts the “Natural” in Natural Law, the Palacean.

THE RISE OF THE PALACEAN

The rise of the Palacean would never have occurred if not for the extraordinary environmental conditions present in their homeworld. As one of the galaxy’s only naturally occurring tropical paradises, their homeworld’s high humidity and welcoming environment allowed their race to break free from the shackles of the sea and ascend not only to the surface, but eventually, to the stars themselves.

The Palacean may represent them, but they do not make decisions for the Palacean Assembly on their own...

Interstellar Space: Genesis – Natural Law Announced!

Hi everyone!

We’re delighted to introduce to you today our first expansion, Interstellar Space: Genesis – Natural Law!

As we approach this milestone, we’d like to reflect on just how different the game you played at release in 2019 is from the game you’ll soon be playing in the 1.2 update. From the eye catching graphical changes we made in the 1.1 overhaul, to the numerous new features and gameplay additions we’ve introduced, things have certainly come a long way so far. We absolutely couldn’t have gotten here without the support, encouragement, and great ideas of our fans. You’ve truly helped make the game a better one.

With our first expansion, our objective was to really infuse the galaxy with a great deal more variety and flavor...
