- Falling Frontier Dev Update: Combat Overview - 9 March 2026
Hi all, I wanted to take some time to give you a preview of what combat will look like in Falling Frontier. If you happened to read my development update from November, you know that the combat system has gotten a lot of development attention, and has moved from an arcade style system to a simulated system, complete with munitions firing, explosions, and ships breaking apart. As it exists now, Falling Frontier’s combat is broken up into what I would define as 4 distinct phases. These phases are all being played out in real time, and what determines the phase you’re in will be a mix of information, distance, and armament. Here’s a general breakdown of what each phase looks like and what you can expect to see. Phase 1: Information Acquisition This combat phase typically occurs at the greatest distance. There are no enemies within visual range, but they may still be active in the AO (area…
- Falling Frontier Update – Systems Coming Together - 5 November 2025
Hi all, just wanting to formalise an update as to the progress over the past couple of years. There has been steady work across every part of Falling Frontier as we continue shaping it into the experience we set out to make. The focus has been on pulling all the systems together so that the art, tools, combat, and worldbuilding all speak the same language. Falling Frontier’s release has shifted to 2026 to allow the time needed to finish integrating these systems and ensure the game reaches the standard we want for launch. Development is ongoing, and we’ll keep sharing updates as milestones are reached, including progress toward a demo. This update takes a look at what has been happening across those areas, showing how each piece fits into the larger picture of the game’s development and the universe it represents. The Art of Falling Frontier The art team have been working hard to create…
- Exciting new RTS Falling Frontier hits a massive wishlist milestone - 15 October 2024
There are so many amazing-looking space games on the horizon, but one that's really captured the imaginations of gamers that love to look starward is Falling Frontier . This RTS of course prides itself on strategic combat, but it also takes a leaf out of No Man's Sky's book by weaving in procedurally-generated solar systems. With stunning visuals as well, it's shaping up to be a real treat - and that's definitely reflected in the huge amount of Steam wishlists it's racked up. Read the rest of the story...

- Falling Frontier's new trailer makes me want to hibernate until the RTS appears in 2025 - 11 March 2024
Out of all the RTS settings we've seen over the years, space remains, for me, absolutely the most thrilling. Ever since Homeworld got its hooks in me over 20 years ago, I've never lost the craving for big spaceship battles in the uncaring void of space. Falling Frontier , then, is very much my kinda thing, but it's approaching things quite differently when compared to the Relic classic, as is clear from the latest (extremely meaty) trailer...

- Star Citizen and Homeworld combine in new space RTS coming to Steam - 11 March 2024
Vast, complex, and sometimes bewildering, even the most ardent Star Citizen avoider is likely to be impressed by its hard sci-fi aesthetic, and its focus on intricate ship design. Similarly, we're all eagerly anticipating the return of a classic RTS with Homeworld 3, which takes the base building, army raising, and colony forging of stalwarts like Age of Empires, and shoots them off into space. It's been almost ten years since the Homeworld Remastered Collection. With Bethesda's Starfield falling short of expectations, we're longing for a new, thrilling galactic adventure. From Hooded Horse, the publisher behind Against The Storm and Manor Lords, an upcoming space strategy game finally has a huge new trailer. Blending Star Citizen's robust visual style with the grandeur and spectacle of Homeworld, this is absolutely one to watch. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Hotly antici…
- Falling Frontier Delay Announcement - 28 November 2023
Hi everyone, With 2023 coming to a close, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to push back the release of Falling Frontier to 2025. This was not an easy decision, and I understand some of you will be disappointed by this news. We've had a lot of significant progress this year with the revamped combat systems and overhauled ship designs, thanks to the addition of a new artist to the team. Unfortunately, due to some health issues within my family, I've had to step away from development for periods during this year which ultimately pushed me to delay the release year to 2025. Thank you, as always, for your support and understanding during this time. I hope to have news about the state of development soon, but otherwise, please enjoy the holiday season, as I look forward to giving you the next update in 2024. If you haven't seen the most recent trailer for SatCom, you can check it…

- First update of 2023: new crew, new ship! - 28 February 2023
Hello everyone! The start of 2023 has been a bit quiet, but mainly because we've been working towards something very exciting which we're finally able to talk about. Not only have we hired a new full-time artist, but he's finished the first of many new ship designs. Say hello to the Sukula-class space barge: What you see here is a mining barge - it will be the primary ship used for mining resources in the game. We plan to have another variant that will serve a separate logistical function, but we'll save that for a later reveal! Our new artist's name is Aleksandre 'Alex' Lortkipanidze, and you can see some of his past work here - we're very excited to have him on the team. The Sukula is just the beginning! We'll be designing other brand new ships, but also re-designing existing ship models as we move away from purchased assets to bespoke ones designed from the ground up. Next up will be…

- Stunning space RTS Falling Frontier shows off its ship designer - 6 March 2022
It's been a while since we've seen anything on the gorgeous-looking RTS game from Stutter Fox Studios, Falling Frontier - a space-bound strategy game very different from the likes of the Homeworld series. Now we've got a new look at the game that shows off some locations a little closer to home - as well as the RTS's impressive-looking ship designer. The last we heard of Stutter Fox's strategy- space game , it received a delay from its original release plan of 2021 to this year. It's currently down for a release in quarter 2, so between April and June 2022. Hopefully it will indeed hit during this time, as the ambitious RTS is looking a lot of fun - combining tactical RTS combat, a focus on winning battles with logistics and planning, an extremely pretty graphics engine, and ship design. All of these traits are shown off in Falling Frontier's latest trailer, "Sol" - so named because it…
- Gorgeous space RTS game Falling Frontier is delayed and I think I might cry - 22 November 2021
I was quite taken with space strategy game Falling Frontier when it debuted at E3 earlier this year , and now I'm a bit sad to hear that it's been delayed into 2022. The passion project of solo developer Todd D'Arcy, under the banner of Stutter Fox Studios, Falling Frontier presents a grounded sci-fi world (with select tropes such as jump drives) where the player must carefully explore and expand their control across procedurally generated star systems. "Most of Falling Frontier's systems are in place for our Early Access launch," D'Arcy says in the press release, "but I want to take the necessary time to get the game to its best possible state before players get their hands on it." This space game seemingly has everything - ship design, logistics, tactical RTS combat, plus it's really pretty. Accompanying the delay news is a new trailer that shows off more in-action footage, from how w…
