We’ve just released Alpha 2a, which is an update to Alpha 2 released last week. This update adds a few new and important features, improved the diplomatic AI in some aspects and resolved a few major issues that were raised while playing Alpha 2. See all the changes in the release note below.

The update is available in the main branch of both Steam and Humble! For instructions on how to play the latest build please go here. On Steam you need to OPT out from the Beta branch and set to the “NONE – Opt out of all Beta programs” (if you did not opt in for the Beta unstable branch before you just need to open Steam, wait for ISG to be updated and off you go!).

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...

Alpha 1b Released!

Hello everyone,

Interstellar Space: Genesis Alpha 1b is released! This update fixed several important bugs and added a considerable amount of balance changes which resulted in a much better experience than Alpha 1a, especially on the late game.

If you are on Steam, your game will update automatically. If you opted for testing out Alpha 1b when it was in the “unstable branch for testing”, you just need to go to your Steam “Beta tab” and select “NONE – Opt out of all Beta programs”.

If you’re on Humble, just download the game from your personal download link (check here if you can’t find it), and download from the “main” branch, which is the branch that is not tagged as “unstable”.

Save compatibility: Savegames from Alpha 1a (and from Alpha 1b under the unstable branch) may work on this...

Alpha 1b available on ‘unstable’ branch

Hello everyone,

Alpha 1b is currently on Steam’s “unstable” branch for testing. It’s also available on Humble’s “unstable” branch. This update fixes some important bugs and has a considerable amount of balance changes, for a better experience, especially on late game.

I invite everyone to opt for the unstable branch and test it out, if you don’t mind to find a few bugs and imbalances in the way. There shouldn’t be many bugs and the experience should be better, but still you’re warned.

You can find the instructions on how to play this new “unstable” build here. On Steam you need to go to the Betas tab and set the unstable branch. To unlock the unstable branch just insert the password interstellarsg in the field: “Enter beta access code to unlock private betas”...

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...

Alpha Released!

Hello everyone,

We’re finally in Alpha! Interstellar Space: Genesis is now (virtually) feature complete.

It’s been more than five years working on ISG. We came a very long way since we first announced the game back in October 2016 (around 2 years ago).

This version contains all the gameplay systems and the game is now fully playable with 4 races at the moment. We plan to have at least 6 races at release.

There is a lot of new stuff since Pre-Alpha 10. Pre-Alpha 11 was a consolidation build where all the gameplay was added and playtested with the support of the community. If you’re interested to know the full history of changes since Pre-Alpha 10 please check this release note.

We are very pleased with the feedback we received from you...
