Hello everyone.
It’s been a while since we last reached out and I thought this would be a good time to provide an update on the ongoing activities and on what you can expect for Interstellar Space: Genesis going forward.
First, I’d like to thank everyone who has bought the game, and the expansions, so far. That is key so that we can continue providing support and producing new content for ISG.
Secondly, I’d like to share that development activities were delayed this past year due to family business issues that needed my utmost attention. Progress was made on new art procurement for expansion 3, but the new features’ development (coding) stalled to a halt for a few months and was reduced for the rest of the year.
That said, I’m happy to report that my family issues are now resolved and I’m back to full speed on all fronts of the game development going forward, namely on the next free update and expansion 3. So get ready for more ISG action!
Initially, the plan was to release everything in one go, both the free update and expansion 3. However, since the expansion 3 is delayed, and there are some outstanding issues that got resolved in the meantime that deserve to be added to the game as soon as possible, I decided to release the free update very soon (not weeks or months, real soon!) and then concentrate all efforts on the expansion work afterward.
Expansion 3 sneak peek
While I can’t disclose what expansion 3 will be about yet, I feel I’d share something with you guys at this point. So, here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming.
I remind that expansion 3 will offer a variety of new content and gameplay features for added challenge and excitement, while revealing more of the ISG universe and lore. “Epic” is one of the defining words of the expansion! So, while it is taking a while, I can say with confidence that the wait will be totally worth it!
Free Update 1.6.3
The free update 1.6.3 will fix some important bugs but also add some assorted improvements and QoL enhancements. I’m currently finalizing the update and the plan is to release it in the coming days or few weeks.
I can advance that the free update will add the much requested ability to select a higher-level eco-engineering improvement, if that is available, without having to do all the eco-engineering projects in sequence. There will also be a fix for the final ‘Game Score’ not matching the Hall of Fame, among other bug fixes.
That’s it for now. Thanks everyone for reading and for all the great feedback and support! ❤️
Talk soon,
Adam
