Interstellar Space: Genesis
1.0.2 Patch Released
We've just pushed the 1.0.2 patch. This update fixed a major bug that was creating game corruption by allowing the player to press "Next Turn" from inside the colony view. We also fixed a couple of issues where some game screens were not being displayed correctly ('blur' issue) or not at all (Tech Steal window).
Compatibility note: The saves from 1.0.1 should be compatible with 1.0.2, so you should be allowed to continue your games normally with this new version. As usual, if you find any issues please let us know. Check here for the bug reporting guidelines.
Thanks a lot to everyone who has bought the game! A special word to everyone who is sending bug reports. Your support has been invaluable in allowing us to address issues quickly.
By the way, it is very important to have Steam reviews on the game, especially at the start when there are few. If you bought the game on Steam, and if you have the time, please consider leaving us a review on Steam! You can write the reviews in your language.
Thanks!

# BUGFIXES
------------------------
- Fixed a bug that was causing the 'Next Turn' panel and other UI elements to appear inside the colony view when the remote exploration window was open, which allowed the turn to be executed from inside the colony view causing game corruption
- Fixed a bug that was causing the the 'Steal Tech' window to not be displayed when issuing the tech steal order from inside the Leaders Management screen
- Fixed a bug that was causing the screen to become blurry when closing certain windows, example: the Colony View or Space Culture windows (Note: Despite we were unable to replicate this issue, we've made a correction in the opening and closing windows procedure that we believe should have fixed this issue. However, let us know if that was not the case and you still see blurry galaxy maps.
1.0.1 Patch Released
Hello everyone! We've just released the 1.0.1 patch! This update fixed several bugs and improved a few things on the UI (including making the galaxy map labels much crisper!). We also tweaked a few aspects on the AI.
Compatibility note: The saves from 1.0 should be compatible with 1.0.1, so you should be able to continue your games normally with this new version. If there's any issue please let us know
Thanks a lot to everyone who has bought the game! The launch was very successful and we're thrilled to see so many players playing the game, for so many hours and the player count is going up and up! That is amazing!
By the way, we need more reviews. Please consider writing a review on Steam as soon as you're ready.
A special word to the community who has been doing a fantastic job answering to people's doubts. Also, thanks a lot to everyone who has been sending saves and bug reports. We're very happy with the feedback we've obtained so far, and now we'll get back to work to make the game better and better for you on each update!
Have fun!

- Fixed bug where the scan number of actions were not being correctly accounted for (the action circles were not displaying the correct number of actions left after using the scan action).
Interstellar Space: Genesis 1.0 Released!
Hello everyone!
This is the day! We finally arrived! I've just hit the button to release Interstellar Space: Genesis 1.0. Thank you to everyone! We could haven't made it without everyone who pre-ordered the game and provided feedback. You guys and gals were fantastic. Some of you have pre-ordered ISG about two years ago when it was still very unfinished and very ugly. Now, I believe the swan has grown and is now more beautiful, but it still has a lot of room to grow and evolve.
Here's the game's launch trailer that you can watch here:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/AfLi8qgWvgA
Just some details about the release.
If you have the game already and played an early version I strongly suggest you start new games with this version 1.0 so you can enjoy from the full experience. Please, also delete all your current custom races, as several changes were made to the races so better start clean and fresh on that as well.
1.0 is mostly the same as the Beta release, but with new additions, AI tweaks and several bugfixes brought by when we reached the Gold version, which is this 1.0 you'll have access now, when you update or buy.
It's time to celebrate! Thanks again everyone. And remember, this is just the beginning for the Interstellar Space saga and for Praxis Games. Strategy and 4X gaming has a new company doing the games we love, so stay tuned for updates and expansions for Interstellar Space as for announcements on future games!
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
We are proud to announce that we've just released the Beta build for all of our backers! This is the final game with only a few assets missing, to be added in the next few days.

This update is now available in the main branch of Steam and Humble. For instructions on how to play the latest build please go here.
Compatibility note: Saves from Alpha 2c are not compatible with the Beta release. So, please delete all your current custom races and start new games, so you can benefit from the game's fixes and new features fully.
So, this is it! If you are a backer and you have the time please help us playtest this Beta build in the next few days as this is the last chance to test the game and report issues before we launch.

Alpha 2b Released!
Hello everyone!
We've just released Alpha 2b. This update injected a lot of art assets. We added the final civilian 3D buildings (you can see the Kaek city below - there's a different type for each race), and added completely new leader portraits for all leaders with many leader animations (you can see the "new" Sierra Thol'os below, for example). We also added the colonization cutscene and many new diplomacy texts for the different races, among several balance changes, UI tweaks and bug fixes.
This update is now available in the main branch of both Steam and Humble. For instructions on how to play the latest build please go here. On Steam you need to OPT out from the Beta branch and set to the "NONE - Opt out of all Beta programs" (if you did not opt in for the Beta unstable branch before you just need to open Steam, wait for ISG to be updated and off you go!). If you pre-ordered the game you can check how to get your Steam key here. On Humble, you have two branches to choose to download the game from. Just choose the download from the "Main" branch.
Compatibility note: Saves from Alpha 2a are not compatible with Alpha 2b, so you'll need to start new games to play this version. If you want to keep playing Alpha 2a, you can find it in the Beta branch on Steam ("unstable - Beta branch for testing") - use interstellarsg password to unlock that beta branch. For Humble, Alpha 2a is on the unstable branch and Alpha 2b in the stable one. Also, it is advised that you delete all your custom races. They should still work, but if you skipped Alpha 2a and are jumping now into Alpha 2b you need to delete all your custom races since they are not compatible with this new version. Then you can create new ones with no problem.
Now, enjoy! And please let us know what you think of the new build, and if you found any bugs.
Thanks!

Alpha 2a Released!
Hello everyone!
We've just released Alpha 2a, which is an update to Alpha 2 released last week. This update adds 21:9 monitor support, AI improvements and fixes several issues among other tweaks and changes. See all the changes in the release note below.
The update is available in the main branch of both Steam and Humble! For instructions on how to play the latest build please go here. On Steam you need to OPT out from the Beta branch and set to the "NONE - Opt out of all Beta programs" (if you did not opt in for the Beta unstable branch before you just need to open Steam, wait for ISG to be updated and off you go!). If you pre-ordered the game you can check how to get your Steam key here. On Humble, you have two branches to choose to download the game from. Just choose the download from the "Main" branch.
Compatibility note: Saves from Alpha 2 are not compatible with Alpha 2a, so you'll need to start new games to play this version. Also, custom races created with older versions are not compatible with this new version (either you play with them or the AI, it doesn't matter, they are not supported anymore). Please delete all custom race XML files in C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Praxis Games\ISG\Races\ or just delete them one by one in the New Game screen. Then you can create new ones with no problem.
Thanks a lot to everyone who has been playing and providing feedback!
