Hello everyone, As we pass the midpoint of the year, I wanted to share an update on the progress of Expansion III and its expected release window. Expansion III slated to release later in 2026 Following several months of development since our last dev diary, we are currently on track for a 2026 release, likely toward the end of the year. While the majority of the work is complete, we are now in the final stretch of integrating, refining, and testing the new content to ensure a smooth launch. Our formal marketing campaign and major reveals will begin as we get closer to the release date. For a

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

Interstellar Space: Genesis - Terrains Pack is available now! Hello everyone! We're thrilled to present to you today a new piece of content called Interstellar Space: Genesis - Terrains Pack! 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 in the same biome. The Terrains Pack adds more variety in colony backgrounds with a selection of new 3D terrains, for a more immersive and complete experience! The Terrains Pack includes 2 new hand-crafted terrains for each of the 7 different biom

Hello everyone! Hope you're enjoying your time playing ISG with the latest version (1.6) 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 t

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!

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

An update to the 1.6 Beta, currently under public testing on the unstable branch, is now up. These are the changes. Version 1.6 Beta 2 Added a sound to the weapon slot re-order feature in the ship design screen. Tribute requests now show how much money is requested directly in the main diplomacy dialog message, and not only in the diplomatic message tooltip. Fixed a bug in the new Galactic Council frequency option, where sometimes the value used was not the correct one. Now, the frequency of the galactic council will always be according to the option defined by the player. Fixed an issue that
