Interstellar Space: Genesis – Natural Law Announced!

Hi everyone!

We’re delighted to introduce to you today our first expansion, Interstellar Space: Genesis – Natural Law!

As we approach this milestone, we’d like to reflect on just how different the game you played at release in 2019 is from the game you’ll soon be playing in the 1.2 update. From the eye catching graphical changes we made in the 1.1 overhaul, to the numerous new features and gameplay additions we’ve introduced, things have certainly come a long way so far. We absolutely couldn’t have gotten here without the support, encouragement, and great ideas of our fans. You’ve truly helped make the game a better one.

With our first expansion, our objective was to really infuse the galaxy with a great deal more variety and flavor...

Interstellar Space: Genesis 1.1 available on unstable Steam branch

Hello everyone!

The 1.1 version of Interstellar Space: Genesis, a major free update from the previous version, and a huge upgrade from version 1.0 released in July of last year, is now available for public testing on Steam’s unstable Beta branch.

You can find the full change log for this update below. This update will be released to the default branch for everyone soon. Due to the extensive nature of this update, we’re going to do things a bit different this time. So, we have released it on the unstable branch first to get some final testing so that everyone can have the smoothest 1.1 release.

If you want to help test this release, you just have to right-click over the game in your Steam library, then choose ‘Properties’, then the ‘Betas’ tab. Select “unstable” from the list...

The game is now much more challenging in the higher difficulty levels. Expect some serious opposition by the AI now! Average and the easier difficulty levels should have maintained more or less the same difficulty...

1.0.4 Patch Released

Hello everyone,

we’ve just released the 1.0.4 patch! This a huge update that touches in all aspects of the game, especially on balance and AI improvements. There’s also new features, some ship 3D models were improved, UI tweaks and many bug fixes.

The changes have a significant impact on how the game plays. The early game shall be perceived as “less slow” now, as some players have reported an issue there. The AI was much improved in several aspects. It’s more aggressive, equips its ships better and brings bigger invasion fleets now. There was a host of balance changes and we think the game is more fun now, with a more stretched out mid-game and a late game that appears a bit later.

The next updates shall continue to improve the game, with balance changes, new features, fixes, and a specia...
