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...

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...

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...
