Dear Fermi Paradox Community, This is a more spontaneous update to fix two major bugs while we are still working on our big Saturn Update. A quite serious crash could happen during the robot uprising event and the evolution flare was broken and had the opposite effect. We also improved the user interface and all events have now revised choice symbols that dynamically adapt to the outcome.This is most likely the last patch before we bring you a major update including the Nano Age, a Challenge System and three new unlockable species.

Dear Fermi Paradox Community, After a long winter break we are back with a new update named after the small Jupiter moon Ananke. We added the possibility to create and use simple mods and created 4 example mods that are already installed in the game. From larger galaxies to a challenge-free mode without Synthesis you can experiment with different game experiences. Also we are trying to improve the endgame, especially the situation when there is a lot of starships and signals active. We would like to give signal / spaceship interaction more variety with our new course change events and we intro

Dear Fermi Paradox Community, After a long break we are back with an update for The Fermi Paradox. Doing game development with a 10 month baby at home is quite a challenge so it took us some time to finish the Metis update, named again after a Jupiter moon. Our main focus for the Metis update is to improve the experience for first players, since we got a lot of feedback from first time players, who were confused about Robot Uprisings and First Contact, so we added ingame tutorial popups to help with these issues. Also we are introducing Terraforming events. These events are available for colon

Dear The Fermi Paradox Community, Development of The Fermi Paradox in 2024 was much slower than we hoped. We are only a small indie team and a mix of burnout, minor health issues, demanding day jobs, writer's block and fresh parenthood caused us to put out only one update in over a year. Life sometimes gets in the way and when one core team member has only minimal time for the project, the whole development process is immensely slowed down. The Fermi Paradox is still our passion project, and we will try our best to give it the love it deserves in 2025. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40243113/6cab2b53e8d4f

Dear Fermi Paradox Community, It took us some time, but we are finally back with a new update, taking into account your feedback on the flare system and the synthetic species that were introduced with the Ganymede 0.70 update. The new flare system introduced in the previous Ganymede 0.70 update was very streamlined; faster to play and usable with a gamepad, but it removed a lot of the configuration options from the original flares, so that players were not able to move their favorite civilization into a specific direction. With this new update, the flare system still makes for faster gameplay,

Hello Fermi Community, Before the holidays we pushed a small bugfix that removes a nasty blocker, which occurred when the crew of a spaceship went extinct by a population crisis. We also enabled the possibility to play old versions of the game. We will push a update of the new flare system in January, but if you want to go back to the 0.69 Eros update with the old flare system during the holidays this is possible now. Also if you are curious about older versions knock yourself out. More info on this on this forum post : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1543150/discussions/0/4032475099154649220/

Dear Fermi Paradox Community, This update has been cooking for a while, and we are happy to present you with a ton of new features. The Ganymede update, fittingly named after the biggest moon in our solar system, will introduce a completely new type of species — synthetic civilizations. They will emerge and can potentially rebel against their biological creators. This will introduce a new challenge in the late game — since with more advanced technology, the chances of a machine revolution will also increase. We made two major changes to the gameplay of The Fermi Paradox. First we streamlined o

Dear Fermi Community, Our first update of 2023 is out. We did some work on our internal systems and took some time to add some long requested convenience features. Now the game can be played with mouse and controllers and we added a new status system to add or remove special conditions to a civilization depending on choices made in the game. For starters we played around with the "Hedonistic Society" status which marks that the culture of a civilization became focused on pleasure and passion. For this reason we also added a new event type the "Disarmament Event" that lowers the harm potential

Dear Fermi Community, This is our biggest update so far as we added more depth and detail to the Contact events, which always meant to be the climaxes of the game. We removed the randomness and made the outcome of the the different choices completely depended on the ethic values, harm potential, technology level, population and resources of the two alien parties involved. Also past contacts have a significant role, so it becomes more important to send out radio signals before embarking to an interstellar journey {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40243113/f9f5c95a04ddc2b673ea98d97fed1af6ec35e2cf.png The game

Dear Fermi Paradox Community, The Early Access version of our game has been live for a year and we are very happy with how far we've come. We want to thank everybody who supported us with the development of The Fermi Paradox and provided us with a lot of honest critique and crucial feedback. We could not make this kind of game without you. We have added 6 major updates since our Early Access release in (named Mercury, Venus, Deimos, Mars, Luna and Farside) and now have roughly 70% of the game's features and content implemented. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40243113/153688d44412127ed0703bd4f180213c124586
