Interview with Arcen Games, By Edward Varfalvy This was a great Q&A with Edward about the game — he asks some really great questions that get at not just what the game is, but what the motivations were behind it. Some of the questions get at future intent as the current beta progresses, as well,…
StraX #17 – Interview with Arcen Games Rob and Nate speak with founder of Arcen Games, Chris Park, about their upcoming 4X hybrid, Stars Beyond Reach. They learn about how the game plays, what their time line is for release, hints about the story connection between SBR and AI War and The Last Federation and…
Apologies again for my slowness regarding Stars Beyond Reach updates at the moment. I’ve been active in the forums since this project answering questions here and there if you haven’t been there. But carving out the time for organized posts sometimes is a bit tricky. The last week or so has seen Keith working like crazy on implementing…
Some things that I’ve been thinking about regarding Stars Beyond Reach, adapted from an email I originally sent to Keith. In my testing at the moment, despite all the early-alpha things that either Keith or I need to fix up before we bring in more players (ETA still hopefully the start of March), I’m finding…
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.

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…
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!
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…
