June 9th, 2021 - Praxis Games announces the release of the major and free! 1.3 update for the turn-based space 4X strategy game Interstellar Space: Genesis.

Praxis Games announces that the free 1.3 update to the space 4X title Interstellar Space: Genesis will be available today for all players, June 9th, 2021 at 10am Pacific / 1pm EST / 7pm CET, on Steam,  GOG, Humble Bundle, Itch.io, Fanatical and GreenManGaming.

FREE 1.3 UPDATE - KEY FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

This free update adds a host of new features, AI improvements, QoL improvements and bug fixes. Here are the highlights:

Surrender Pact
1.3 adds the brand new Surrender Pact feature! With this new diplomacy treaty, you can now subjugate a rival into a surrender pact, and obtain benefits from it, instead of having to completely wipe it out of the game. 

Alliance Victory
Also in 1.3 we now have the new Alliance Victory condition, where allies win together. When an empire wins, all its allies share victory. It can be enabled or disabled in the new game set up screen.

Steam Achievements
Steam Achievements were also added to the game! There are 57 achievements, which include 3 hidden ones and 7 for the first expansion pack, Natural Law. The achievements are also displayed in-game in a dedicated 'Achievements' screen.

AI Aggressiveness Level
The new 'AI Aggressiveness' option in the 'New Game' screen allows tweaking the desired aggression level for the AI. With higher aggressiveness, the AI will tend to be more hostile, attack more and declare war more often. It will also be more reluctant to sign diplomatic deals. The opposite effect for lower aggression than normal.

New Diplomacy Screen
The diplomacy UI was revamped! The diplomacy dialog screen is now displayed in full screen and the ambassador character is presented much larger, allowing for much more of the character to be seen and the different animations depending on their mood.

And, much more!
There's also a ton of major AI improvements, performance improvements, a new UI-scale slider option, QoL improvements and bug fixes, many of which in response to player feedback, and much more!
