Interstellar Space: Genesis released on July 25th, 2019. The game has been well-received overall, our very own Oliver liked it quite a bit, and we’re happy to know that many of you consider it to be a worthy spiritual successor to Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares, which was one of the objectives Praxis Games laid out for the game.



As the first title from a studio of two people, Praxis chose to focus on gameplay first and foremost throughout development. They believe it is essential that the gameplay speaks for itself and forms a solid foundation worth expanding upon. And while they continue to polish that with each and every patch and update, they also knew in the back of their minds that they wanted to do something truly special.



They’ve gathered all the feedback they could, from fans and critics alike, and found that one particular area that showed clear room for improvement was the game’s art and aesthetics. We agreed, and thanks to the fans who made the game’s launch a success, the decision was made to invest both in them and the game’s future. A completely free, substantial overhaul of a released game’s graphics is a somewhat unprecedented move, but Praxis feels it is the right one.



These graphical improvements will be provided for free to all current and future owners of the game when the 1.1 Graphics Update is released in early Spring 2020.

Very soon, Praxis Games will be releasing their very own dev diary that outlines more about the decision to make these improvements, but we were given exclusive permission to share with you these upcoming additions to Interstellar Space: Genesis:

Completely new ship 3D models for all races

A UI revamp with a new more artistically pleasing style

Revamped colony 3D views for all biomes

Improvements to the galaxy map

A diplomacy screen revamp which aims to make the diplomatic experience more immersive.

Improvements to the system view

Improvements to space combat, including a new isometric view

Even more!

Okay, if you haven’t already skipped ahead, you’ve certainly waited long enough! Here are some screenshots showing off what you can expect from the free update!

It’s pretty easy to see that these screenshots are a massive improvement over the existing aesthetics and we’re extremely proud to be able to show you what Praxis Games has been up to.



Stay tuned to their channels, as they’ll soon be releasing a dev diary outlining these changes and showing off even more screenshots!
