A Fortnight in News

• Interstellar Space: Genesis released v1.1 in “unstable beta” format: There are so many improvements made that it’d be hard to list them all and why should we when that link will list them all? Graphics, heroes, bug fixes and more! Check out Rob’s recent stream of v1.1 here (and stay tuned for more):

• AI War 2 v2.016 “Thunderchild” released: Lots of back-end changes to the way save games are saved and loaded, among many other things, with some fixes to MP lobby functionality, among other things.
• Fort Triumph to release on April 16th: A game that Rob has played a bunch and really enjoys its “Heroes of Might and Magic meets X-Com” gameplay, it will finally exit Early Access in less than two weeks!
• Stellaris Dev Diary #174 “Federations is Out, Now What?” and Dev Diary #175 “Space Fauna” Released: Paradox has given some hints as to what comes next after Federations in #174 and then shows off some upcoming changes to space fauna in #175.
• Alliance of the Sacred Suns “Military System Part 2: The Ground Combat System” Dev Diary: A gigantic outline of what’s to come in AotSS for its ground combat system. A lot to digest and read about, but it sounds like a simple, yet effective, system for ground combat in this very promising game.
• Amplitude Studios’ upcoming historical 4X, Humankind, received a new “Shaping Your Legacy” video on how you’ll obtain victory in Humankind. Watch it here:

• Godking: Master of the Rituals moves closer to Early Access with a couple of beta patches: Set to release into Early Access on April 8th (just a few short days!), Sensiga Studios has been busy getting it ready for the big day! We’ll have an early impressions article up soon after its EA release.
• Panzer Corps 2 received its first patch: Lots of fixes and additions to game options are here for this very, very promising wargame!
• Last, but certainly not least, we’ve been given special permission to show off Remnants of the Precursors “Pre Beta” build, showing off A LOT of improvements. You can watch the streams here:
