Well hello! I’ll have more information on Stars Beyond Reach later in the week. But for the moment, I wanted to give a quick important announcement about our wiki. Previously it was invite-only, and mainly edited by staff. Consequently it was often out of date. Now it’s open to anyone to edit, although you do…
Are you kidding me, self? It’s really been since December 4th that you last posted an update? Sorry about that, me. I, uh, have been really busy. First of all, we’ve been working like crazy on the game itself. Plus some other fun stuff related to the game. And, you know, Christmas and New Years.…
Keith and I were emailing back and forth about some of the design specs for the internal Stars Beyond Reach prototype that we’re working toward having done in the next week-ish. Cemeteries and crematoriums have been a part of the roster of buildings since way back, and I had the design for them in my…
Version 2.008 is the latest in a series of post-expansion-release hotfixes. We’ve been posting about these on our forums, but individually these releases weren’t really worth doing a full blog/announcement post about. So let’s talk about these cumulatively! First of all, for those who have been following along already, here’s what is new in the very latest…
A bit ago, I announced Stars Beyond Reach, which you can read a lot more about at that link. The very-short explanation is that this is Arcen’s first true 4X title: think Civilization meets SimCity meets AI War meets New Stuff. More recently, I posted some updated screenshots and some portraits of some of the…
Delivering spacefaring tech has recently seen a large update, and this video is a brief LP for The Last Federation that shows off missions and how to go about navigating them. It also shows off a number of mistakes and how to avoid making those mistakes hurt more than they have to. Enjoy!
The first expansion to The Last Federation, titled Betrayed Hope, arrives this Friday along with the free version 2.0 upgrade for the base game. TLF has been a huge hit for us this year, with its unique blend of 4x strategy, simulation, and turn-based tactics. Betrayed Hope is perhaps the most massive expansion we have…
Version 1.900 is final touches in preparation for the launch of version 2.0 and the full release of the expansion this Friday the 14th (just a couple of days from now!). The big things in this new version are that the tutorials have all been extensively updated for the new modes, and the story segments…
New details for you, and some new art! A bit more than a week ago, I announced Stars Beyond Reach, which you can read a lot more about at that link. The very-short explanation is that this is Arcen’s first true 4X title: think Civilization meets SimCity meets AI War meets New Stuff. A much…
Version 1.702 is all about polish and balance for the Obscura. This includes some of the Obscura ships at the individual-battle level, and then a bunch of balance changes to the way the Obscura grow and expand during Invasion mode. Invasion mode started out as this kind of impossible thing, then the Obscura became a…
