ISG_1_6_4_update_800_450.png

Hello everyone!

It’s been a few months since we released the free 1.6.3 update. We hope you are enjoying that update with its new features and improvements.

In the meantime, we’ve been listening to your feedback, so here’s a smaller patch that adds some improvements and a few bug fixes.

This update is available in all stores. On Steam it will auto-update. On GOG it will also auto-update on GOG Galaxy. If you don’t use GOG Galaxy, you’ll need to download the offline installers for the new version in your GOG account. The new DRM-free version is also available on Humble Bundle (*) and Itchi.io (check for the latest version 1.6.4 on those stores).

Note (*): It may take a day or two to be available on Humble Bundle.

Hello everyone!

I’m thrilled to announce that the new and free 1.6.3 update for Interstellar Space: Genesis is now officially available to all players!

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

ISG Dev Diary #23: Update 1.6.2 and Terrains Pack

ISG_dev_diary_23_update_1_6_2_and_TerrainsPack_final.jpg

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re enjoying your time playing ISG with the latest version (1.6, now 1.6.1) released this past November. In the meantime, we’ve been working on the next update, the third expansion pack, and a new piece of content that was still unannounced, called Terrains Pack, to be released later today.

Free Update 1.6.2

One thing we’ve been hearing in player feedback for a while now is that the game could have more terrains, so colonies would look different when you build a few of them in the same biome type. Adding new 3D terrains is not trivial and can be quite time-consuming. However, we thought it was time to add something extra in the next update.

Therefore, included in the 1.6...

Update 1.6.1 Released

Hello everyone!

It’s been about a week since we released the free 1.6 update. We hope you are enjoying this major new update with all its new features and improvements!

In the meantime, we’ve been listening to your feedback, so here’s a patch that fixes some issues. This new update is now available in all stores.

Saves from version 1.6 are 100% compatible with this new version. So, you can proceed with your games normally. If you’re playing a game started with an older version (1.5.3), those saves should be compatible as well, but it’s advisable to start new games. If you wish, you can revert to the 1.5.3 version to finish your ongoing game with that version. See here how (look for the “Compatibility and finishing an ongoing game” section).

Thanks a lot to everyone who has bought the ga...
