Hello everyone!
Hope you're enjoying your time playing ISG with the latest version (1.6, now 1.6.1) released this past November. In the meantime, we've been working on the next update, the third expansion pack, and a new piece of content that was still unannounced, called Terrains Pack, to be released later today.
Free Update 1.6.2
One thing we've been hearing in player feedback for a while now is that the game could have more terrains, so colonies would look different when you build a few of them in the same biome type. Adding new 3D terrains is not trivial and can be quite time-consuming. However, we thought it was time to add something extra in the next update.
Therefore, included in the 1.6.2 update, there's a new colony terrain for each of the 7 biome types (Terran, Desert, Lava, Acid, Ice, Swamp, and Barren), for a total of 7 completely new and unique 3D terrains available for everyone!
Here's a sample (the alternative new Desert terrain):
On top of the 7 new terrains, version 1.6.2 includes QoL improvements and bug fixes.
The 1.6.2 update is available now.
You can see the full list of changes below.
VERSION 1.6.2 (changelog)
Check here for the changelog.
Compatibility note: Saves from the previous version 1.6.1 should be fully compatible with 1.6.2, so you can proceed with your games normally.
We hope you enjoy the new free 1.6.2 update! Let us know if you find any issues.
Terrains Pack
On top of the free new terrain alternative for each planet biome added by the 1.6.2 update, the new Terrains Pack will offer 2 additional terrains. This new piece of content adds even more variety in colony backgrounds for a more immersive and complete experience.
The Terrains Pack includes 2 additional terrains for each of the 7 different biomes (Terran, Desert, Lava, Acid, Ice, Swamp, and Barren), for a total of 14 completely new and unique 3D terrains.
One of the new terrains of the Terrains Pack (Lava biome):
Therefore, with the new update (1.6.2) and the Terrains Pack, the game will offer 4 different terrains for each of the different planet biomes, for a total of 28 terrains.
The Terrains Pack is available now!
In the meantime, if you haven't bought the Natural Law expansion yet, please consider buying as it adds 2 very nice playable races to the game, that will have their own Evolution tree with the Evolving Empires expansion, among other features and music tracks. The Evolving Empires expansion adds two major new features: Evolutions and Minor Civilizations. It also includes 7 new leaders and 2 new music tracks. If you have a few minutes to spare, and have been enjoying what we do, please leave us a review on Steam or on GOG! ❤️
Cheers!
