Hello space emperors of interstellar Space! We haven't made one of these quick updates in a while so let's take a look at what we've done and are doing since January of this year in our road to Beta! We released the Alpha 1b build to our backers on December 27th 2018. The feedback was great and we got a big number of suggestions for improvement. January was all about working on all of those suggestions and many others we've received in the past. Many issues were resolved and due to that feedback we think the game is now much more balanced and fun! February, March and the first two weeks of April were all about adding more ship modules to the game and to finish the AI. It was a huge undertaking, but finally we now have a complete AI in the game! As some of you know, there are different difficulty settings to go with and different races can have a specific difficulty level. You can also set a difficulty level for yourself. The AIs play by the same rules as the human player (they don't cheat!). However, they do get starting bonuses in the higher difficulty levels, after which no other bonus or special treatment is given to the AI, and the human player will be measuring strength with the AIs in equal footing. May the best Space Emperor win! With the gameplay and AI now finished we're now entering the "polish phase" where we'll be adding a tutorial to the game as for all the remaining art (2D, 3D art, music tracks, cutscenes, etc). When everything is in we'll reach Beta which will be available to all of our backers. The game will then release when we feel it is ready. That's all for now. Thanks! Adam Solo & MalRey Praxis Games In the meantime, please wishlist the game on Steam and feel free to open threads and discuss any topic you’d like in the Steam forums or on our official website forums. We’re making the most complete and comprehensive Turn Based Space 4X ever developed, and we count with your support to make it happen! So, please wishlist the game and spread the word about Interstellar Space: Genesis today, and soon you will Discover the Unknown...
Great. I find myself looking the forum every day these days... has been some time since this happened to me. Thats good!
Liebe Entwickler von ISG Nachfolgend ein Bild welches einen Sternenhimmel zeigt welchen man zu Beleuchtung von Planeten ohne Sonnensystem einsetzen könnte ( ein Wenig alte MoO2 Atmosphäre). Die Rechte an diesem Foto gehören leider Microsoft vielleicht kennt Ihr ja einen astrofotografen (Community) welcher Euch ein paar solcher Fotos mit allen rechten zur Verfügung stellen könnten. Mit besten Grüßen Wanderer
That's very good to hear Ergie. It is indeed a very good sign. We're very excited to show you the end result. It will not be long now.
Rogue planets could show a starry sky on the surface, like the one you put here. We'll consider your sugestion. Thanks!
You really need to add this to your steam page, both the recent news section and the discussion boards. I imagine most of us here already have bought the game, so while it's nice to know it's getting closer, we already know the game is great.
Thanks for the heads up. This news post is now also on Steam (both news section and discussion boards), and was also submitted to indiedb.com.
Good idea to post on Steam as that is the best place to get greater interest. Getting to news out is the hardest thing for new games.
