Alpha 1a Released!

Hello everyone,
we’ve just released Alpha 1a, a hotfix for the Alpha version released on November 29th, 2018.
This version fixes several issues, including a few major bugs. We also made several balance changes and some important AI optimizations. The AI is less cautious now and should provide a bigger challenge, especially on the higher difficulty levels.
Compatibility: Saved games from previous versions may work in this new version but we strongly advise that you start new games to benefit from the new changes and bug fixes fully.
What’s next?
With Alpha 1a out, with its fixes and enhancements, we’ll see into moving to closed-beta, where we intend to finish the game, by adding all the missing content and improvements with a release date set to Q2 2019...

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!

ISG Dev Diary #10: Colony View

Hello everyone, today we will talk about the colony view in ISG, which deserves a dev diary on its own.

Colony View

One of the features we liked in Master of Orion 2, and Imperium Galactica 2 as well, was the possibility to see your colonies in the planet’s actual terrain, with all the buildings there. We think this is an important feature in a 4X game because it helps increase immersion and a sense of attachment with your colonies, while also increasing the feeling that you are actually there, and see your colonies grow.

So, in the last few weeks, one of the things we’ve been working on was the colony view screen, improving graphics and adding buildings. So, in the next release, to be out this fall, you will see your buildings in the colony for the first time...

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.

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!

Hello everyone,

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