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 1.0 Released!

ISG_Starmap.jpg

Hello everyone!

This is the day! We finally arrived! I’ve just hit the button to release Interstellar Space: Genesis 1.0. Thank you to everyone! We could haven’t made it without everyone who pre-ordered the game and provided feedback. You guys and gals were fantastic. Some of you have pre-ordered ISG about two years ago when it was still very unfinished and very ugly. Now, I believe the swan has grown and is now more beautiful, but it still has a lot of room to grow and evolve.

Here’s the game’s launch trailer that you can watch here:

You can buy the game on Steam, or DRM-free through the Humble widget (directly from our official site), Humble Bundle and Itch.io. You also get a Steam key when you buy from Humble widget, Humble store or Itch.io...

ISG Quick Update #4 – Improvements, Ship Modules and AI

Interstellar_space_genesis_alpha
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...

Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable Hotfix 2 Released!

Hello everyone,
Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable has continued to received a lot of good feedback and bug reports over this past week. Lots of bugs have been squashed and issues resolved, as for many usability issues that were addressed. It’s almost not “Unstable” anymore ;)😉
However, there’s still work to do until we can say we have a stable build at the level we achieved with Pre-Alpha 10.
You can find all the changes in this new hotfix below. Let us know what you think and if you found any more bugs or issues of any kind.
Note: Save games from Pre-Alpha 11 Unstable Hotfix may “work” on this new hotfix but we strongly advise that you create new games to benefit from all the changes and fixes of this new build.
Thanks!

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 Quick Update #3 – Espionage

Hello everyone, for today’s quick update we’ll talk about espionage in ISG as for a quick development status.

Dexana is known to be a smuggler and a pirate. However, what many may not know is that she’s also a skilled saboteur and psy-ops agent. If you need something blown up she’s your gal. She also has a way with people and will be able to convince others into joining your cause. Showing basic skill in espionage will allow her to steal low-level technology from your rivals. The only spy skill she lacks is to go into Deep Cover and do Intel Gathering missions.

Dexana’s last spy job went well, so you may pick a spy skill for her to level up...

Pre-Alpha 9 Released!

Hello everyone,

we’re proud to announce that we’ve just released a new public version for Interstellar Space: Genesis, Pre-Alpha 9.

This release was a big leap forward, we think, in terms of providing better usability and appeal. The entire UI was revamped to what will be close to the final UI style we envisage for the game. The game should also look much better in higher resolutions now, since the UI now scales with the screen size.

Along with the major UI overhaul, we also added a new ship selection mode, and several other quality of life improvements like the possibility to execute pending actions through the Turn Button directly or the new togglable layer to show all the star system’s scanning levels quickly. We also made several balance changes, added music tracks and fixed many bugs.

Pre-Alpha 8 Released!

Hello everyone,

Pre-Alpha 8 has arrived!

This new version introduced several substantial changes to the game that hopefully will make the experience better for everyone, namely a new “Balanced Start” mode (active by default), a new difficulty level, 6 new leaders, a new game option to increase the tooltips text and a new “left-click to select right-click to assign” mode! There’s also new ruins text, many balance changes, UI tweaks and a bunch of bug fixes.

Please enjoy the new release and let us know what you think! If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, you can do so here.

Note: The save games from the previous version (Pre-Alpha 7b) should work on this new version but we strongly suggest that you start new games to play this new build properly, and to benefit from the new features and fixes fu...

Pre-Alpha 7b Hotfix Released!

Hello everyone,

we’ve just released Pre-Alpha 7b, which is a hotfix to Pre-Alpha 7a.

This hotfix includes several bug fixes to space combat, several balance tweaks and adds a lot of variety to the ruins searching text. Also, ships start with no shields at the beginning (Class I Shields needs to be researched now) among other gameplay changes and bug fixes.

Note: The save games from Pre-Alpha 7a should work on this new version but we suggest that you start new games to test this new build properly, and to benefit from the new features and fixes fully.

To update to this latest version, just use your existing download link from humble bundle. If anybody has trouble finding the email with the link you can use the order resender and Humble Bundle will send you a list of your download pages.
