ISG_free_1_5_update.jpg

Hello everyone!

We are excited to announce that the new major and free! 1.5 update for Interstellar Space: Genesis is now available to all players!

This update has been on the unstable branch for beta testing to make sure there were no major unforeseen issues for the smoothest official release possible. We’re happy to report that testing went very well, so we believe we’re in very good shape. Thanks to everyone who played the unstable build and provided feedback!

1.5 Update – Features and Improvements

This was a highly popular request by the community and is one of the major new features of the 1.5 update. On top of the squarish shape the game offered, we now also have Elliptical, Ring and Spiral-shaped galaxies!

Hello everyone!

We may have been a bit silent for the past few months, but rest assured, it was for good reason :) This dev diary’s topic is about the new and free! 1.5 major update; the improvements and what it brings new to the table.

Let’s explore some of the major changes of 1.5 Beta, and later on you can check out the details of the update and try it for yourself and offer your feedback to the Devs!

New Galaxy Shapes

This was a highly popular feature request by the community, and it finally makes it in for 1.5. On top of the squarish shape the game offered, we now also have Elliptical, Ring and Spiral-shaped galaxies!

It’s nice and pleasing to the eye to see different galaxy shapes, but even more interesting are the new gameplay dynamics that should emerge from the different galaxy...

1.4.4 ‘Space Monsters Revamped’ Update Released

Hello everyone!

It’s ISG’s 3rd anniversary since it first released officially! [​IMG] Wow, how time flies, isn’t it?

To celebrate the occasion, we’re running a sale, and we thought of doing something special, so we have a nice surprise and gift for all of you who have supported us and bought the game. We’re offering revamped versions for all the game’s Space Monsters (Space Dragon, Crystal Entity, and Space Amoeba) and their respective offspring versions in this new free 1.4.4 update.

The anniversary sale and the 1.4.4 update will be up at 10am PDT / 1:00pm ET / 7pm CEST today.

Please meet the adult versions (the offspring versions are based on these but still significantly different).
A big shout out to our artists Igor Puškarić and Dario Dominguez for the great 3D modeling work!

ISG Dev Diary #18: Evolving Empires – Natural Law Evolutions

With the release of Evolving Empires rapidly approaching, we’ve got just enough time for one final dev diary. I’m Keith, back one final time to cover something we’ve hinted at a few times now, the Evolutions coming for the races introduced in Natural Law!

EVOLVING AN EXPANSION

CoverArt_1920_1080_Natural_Law_PNG.png

When I first sat down to write the biographies and design the lore for the two races introduced in Natural Law, the Cerixx Sentinels and Palacean Assembly, I had grand visions for who they were and how their societies operated. While the concept of evolutions was not yet on the table or in any way set in stone at that time, the groundwork was laid to allow them to evolve into something even greater should an opportunity present itself.

When we later decided to implement Evolutions and began to design the sets fo...

NEW LIFE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES

From an early stage, player feedback as well as our own experiences made it clear that the exploration aspect of the game was both well regarded and ripe for expansion. It seems there’s just something about discovering hidden things, be it planetary specials and ruins, strategic resources, or even entire stars and planets, that brings a great deal of excitement and joy to our play experiences...
