Oliver "Mezmorki" Kiley from eXplorminate has just published a great preview of Interstellar Space: Genesis. Go check it out!

I think this says it all :)

"Unexpectedly, I’ve had more fun playing IS:G, even its pre-alpha state, than many other recent 4X games." -Oliver "Mezmorki" Kiley (eXplorminate)

We think Oliver managed to capture the essence of the game in his preview and did a terrific job conveying what we are after, which is a game that picks up from the MoO2 formula, with mechanics that "leverage the best of the past with newer innovations", as he said.

"They injected just enough novelty into the design to make it feel like it’s own thing. So far, the developers appear to be well on track." -Oliver "Mezmorki" Kiley (eXplorminate)

I take this opportunity to publicly thank all of our staff and VIPs for their dedication and support to this project so far, for which the game wouldn't be nearly as good and polished as it is today, especially for a Pre-Alpha.

If you want to join the cause and help us make a worthy spiritual successor to Master of Orion 2, and the best and most refreshing space 4X game we can possibly can, please join the discussions in the game's forums. Your contributions to the project will be invaluable.

Also, and if you want to help us further, please consider pre-ordering the game with instant access as that would help us a lot in securing extra funds to improve the game, so that it may be in the best shape possible at release.

Thank you! And now it's time to go back to work in our road to Alpha! Almost there... :)

Interstellar Space: Genesis (formerly Project Space Sector) is a spiritual successor to Master of Orion 2, the turn-based space 4X strategy game from the 90's that we love so much. This will be a faithful successor, that is true in spirit to the series. A game for everyone who wants to have that “feeling” of Master of Orion 2, but also wants to experience something new and fresh, with all the complexity and depth of a big and complex 4X game. You can join the discussions here. Pre-Orders with instant access are now open!
