- Dev Friday #50 - New Changes in the Upcoming Update - 10 June 2022
Hey everyone! We're finally back with some more updates on 'Cosmos Conquer'. I'm working on a new update with a lot of changes. It includes some interesting stuff, however we'll not see a new Civilization Type - at least not in today's Dev Friday! Stay tuned and see for yourself what I've prepared! ALIEN INVASION CHANGES With the latest update, Alien Invasion were added. This is definitely the largest mechanic so far and it definitely impacts the player's game. Because of that, I've went ahead and ensured that it is more balanced and interesting for the players. First of all, spawning rates were changed. If there's an Alien Base active, Aliens will spawn twice as fast as they do currently - meaning that a successfully invaded settlement has to be quickly cleared from the enemies or they'll keep growing in numbers! In addition to that, Aliens will now spawn in a very slow rate even if th…
- 'Alien Invasion' Update - 11 May 2022
Focusing on our development, we've forgotten to look further and beyond ourselves. Now, we'll be paying the biggest price for our mistakes. Giant shadows emerge from the sky as the screeching, unknown sounds start filling the Humanity's Empire. Our greatest fear and dreams have been confirmed - we are not alone. Tonight, 'Alien Invasion' update goes live! It's an extensive update so we'll be covering quite a bit of changes today. Let's get right into it! TYPE 3 CIVILIZATION As it was announced in the previous 'Dev Friday', Type 3 was added to the game. Now, you will be able to conquer and settle entire Milky Way together with surrounding galaxies. There are many new buildings and technologies which will help you to reach your goal. If you want to know more about this particular topic, read more here: ALIEN INVASION A new event was added into the game. If an alien invasion happens, struc…

Hey everyone! It's finally time for another 'Dev Friday' and first details on the upcoming update. The next Dev Friday will be on 13th May and that's also when the update launches. A lot of things will change, so stay tuned! Today we'll discuss one of the more major changes, which is the addition of Type 3 civilization. So, like it is visible on the screenshots, Type 3 is finally available. In this civilization type, we'll enter local galactic cluster where the Milky Way is located and explore the universe on galactical level. Now, you will be able to conquer and settle entire Milky Way together with surrounding galactics. New buildings and technologies will help you in your conquering. Wormhole Traveling, Asimov's Device and Quantumverses - those are only some of the technologies that will unlock new buildings for you! When it comes to the buildings themselves, Intersol, The Deunire an…

Hello everyone! It's finally time for the next update! This time, we're stepping into the deep, unknown dark of the universe, in 'Deep Space Silence' update. We've learned about some of the new features in the last Dev Friday. If you haven't read it yet, check it out now: here. If you did, you know there's still some stuff to share. New Event The game receives a new event type. So far it has only been a Riot, however there's something new to fight with in your quiet, peaceful Settlements.. maybe they're even too quiet? 'Signal Loss' is a new now a new Settlement Event in the game. Signal Loss is slightly more likely to happen than the Riot and influences the player's gameplay quite significantly. If the player loses a signal from a Settlement, no action can be done until the signal is restored. Some info also disappears, such as info about Settlement yields. Those mean no way of control…

- Dev Friday #39 - Basic Game Mechanics Overhaul - 26 November 2021
Hello Steam! Today we'll talk about 'Cosmos Conquer' in general - you don't know any details yet! In this post, we'll introduce an entire game concept and basic mechanics that will be included in the game. You'll need some knowledge of those mechanics to play the game efficiently. So what does the game offer? The entire game is divided into eras. A new era starts whenever the player advances their civilization. This can be done through projects (which we'll cover more in the next update). Each era brings up different map, shows different interface and has different objects to interact with. This simulates the concepts of Kardashev Scale. Kardashev Scale is a scale classifying civilizations into types based on the amount of energy they are capable of consuming. The game main progression mechanics are based exactly on that. Players will go through Civilization Types (eras) one by one and…
