- Cygnus Enterprises Early Access is Over! - 17 December 2023

- Cygnus Joins Steam SHMUP Fest 2023! - 26 September 2023
Dear Contractors, It’s our pleasure to be taking part in Steam SHMUP Fest 2023 starting today (and running until October 3rd), and offering a discount of 35%! Cygnus contains the DNA of many genres, and Shmups have always been central to how we wanted our action to play and feel. We sprinkled in both Base-Management mechanics and RPG systems and story, but when the alien wildlife gets restless and the guns come out, it’s Shmup time! With one last free campaign expansion on the way very soon, our cutting-edge AI NPCs feature fully implemented, and the discount from this Shmup Fest sale, there’s never been a better time to jump in and join Cygnus Enterprises! We hope to see you planetside, Contractors.
- Cygnus AI NPCs are now Live! - 21 August 2023
Hi Contractors! We have something really exciting to announce today - we just launched a big new AI-powered update that will revolutionize Cygnus Enterprise's narrative and storytelling! Players will now be able to choose to play through the entire story with AIs driving the narrative and dialog. Before we dive into the details, we have a BIG DISCLAIMER: While this feature is cutting edge, that also means it’s still highly experimental, so perfect stability and quality aren’t guaranteed. We’re also hugely grateful for all the support provided by Inworld, whose AI infrastructure powers this feature. It’s thanks to Inworld that this feature can be completely free at launch and for at least a couple of weeks afterwards. Most things don’t last forever though – especially when multiple parties are involved – and so we can't ourselves guarantee that Inworld will keep providing AI support to C…

- AI Characters in Cygnus Enterprises Showcase! - 4 May 2023
AI Contractors?! BIG DISCLAIMER! We are not sure if we will ever be able to release this feature as it not only depends on external partners, but also requires server infrastructure which our current single-player version of the game does not support and will generate ongoing costs that may not make this feature economically feasible. Viewer discretion is advised. We all have been amazed by the recent breakthroughs of AI Technologies. However, these technologies are no stranger to us, as anyone checking the credits for our game may have noticed we have been working with AI for quite a while! Recently, we have been experimenting with what AI-driven technologies can bring to Cygnus Enterprises and we couldn't be more excited with the outcome. While the team is still working hard on "Volcanic Ventures", the next content update, we also started experimenting to see what AI could potentially…
