Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable Hotfix released!

Hello everyone,

Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable has received a lot of great feedback from you in these past two weeks. We were very pleased to read your impressions of the game and we’re also glad to hear that you are having fun playing this version of ISG!

However, there were several concerns raised about this build, namely on performance as for quite a few nasty bugs and issues reported. This hotfix addresses those issues and we’re happy to report that the game requires much less memory to run now (1.5GB less!) and the experience is also much faster and fluid now as we did a lot of run-time performance optimizations.

We’re very much looking forward to have your thoughts on this new build.

Note: Save games from Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable may work on this hotfix but we strongly advise that you create ne...

ISG Dev Diary #9: Progress Update on Pre-Alpha 11


Hello everyone,

development work has been very intense over the past month and we thought it was time to make a break and create this update to let you guys know about the progress made and what is ahead of us in the short-term.

Since the release of Pre-Alpha 10, we’ve been very busy at fleshing out the game races, namely on defining all of their traits, special abilities and unique abilities. All the game races, including a fourth unannounced one, now have their own set of abilities, and we’re happy to announce that the race customization feature is now also complete! So, in Pre-Alpha 11 you’ll be able to create your own race with the perks you wish...

ISG Dev Diary #7: Progress Update on Pre-Alpha 10

Hello everyone,

we’ve been hard at work at bringing new features and improving the game in significant ways. Pre-Alpha 10 is in progress, and with it a lot of new shiny things will be brought to the table, which I’m sure you’ll find will be worth the wait!

The ground combat and bombardment mechanics presented in the last dev diary will be in. Star bases will also be added, which can be upgraded both in the economic and military sense. Also, a variety of planetary defenses along with the star bases will enhance the defensive side of the game further. What this means is that new strategies will be required to assault and invade colonies in Pre-Alpha 10, which will provide more meaningful choices and require you to plan things out a little bit more.

Along with ground combat, bombardment, pl...

ISG Dev Diary #6: Ground Combat and Bombardment

Hey everyone,

it’s a been a while since we post a dev diary. The last one was on May of this year, for Leaders.

Since then, pre-orders have opened with Pre-Alpha 7, we did lots of gameplay and balance adjustments for Pre-Alpha 8 with the feedback we obtained from the community, and a major UI revamp was made for Pre-Alpha 9.

Now, we’re currently very busy adding all the remaining systems in our road to Alpha. These major systems include: Ground combat, bombardment, starbases, ship refit, espionage, race customization, more techs, more wonders, more weapons and system specials (ship modules), a new race, an in-game tutorial and events. After all of this is in the game we’ll hit Alpha and we should be entering Steam Early Access soon after.

Today we’ll be discussing two of these systems t...
