The Fermi Paradox News

Hey everyone,

There were a couple of problems with our “ancient spaceships”. Only extraordinary events should create starship crews below the Nuclear Age. Like an alien invasion banishing a stone age tribe to space or a resource crisis that leads to the lost of all knowledge inside a starship. But something like Bronze Age societies building spaceships should be something that we should do in a science-fantasy mod but are not intended in the normal game.

Changelog of Version 0.60.B.4

• Bugfix : Societies lower than Nuclear Age, will not build starships anymore to flee from their planet.
  
• Bugfix : Societies lower than Industrial Age, will not send a final signal anymore when they die out.
  
• Bugfix - Starship Crews lower than Nuclear Age now can land on a planet and don't get stuck in orbit
  
• Typo Fixes
  

See you up in the stars, voyager.

Beaming up onto Steam Early Access today, The Fermi Paradox from Anomaly Games is a choice-driven narrative strategy god game where you must guide the fate of the galaxy. Check out the launch trailer:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Anomaly Games’ debut title lets the player become the ultimate guiding force in the galaxy, a galactic gardener if you will. A metaphorical page-turner encased in stunning artwork and a superbly atmospheric original soundtrack, The Fermi Paradox brings an innovative and compelling choice-driven gameplay loop to the god game genre.

Manage your resources and make decisions that can, and will, have far-reaching and oftentimes catastrophic consequences that span millennia. It doesn’t always have to end in catastrophe though. This intergalactic saga is yours, and yours alone. You will shape, mold, and guide every civilization, every planet, every errant radio signal destined to unite two lonely alien species. Not satisfied with the outcome? Begin your saga anew, make different choices, and realise a new, changed galaxy.



Developed with funding from diversity games fund WINGS, The Fermi Paradox is out now in Steam Early Access. Embark on your own intergalactic saga today..

See you up in the stars, voyager.

In the 1950s, physicist Enrico Fermi asked an important question: "Space is absolutely massive, so where the heck are all the aliens?" Okay, he didn't word it exactly like that, but he raised a valid (and scary) point. If there are so many stars, and so many potentially Earth-like worlds, in the universe, why haven't we found any evidence of intelligent, spacefaring civilizations other than our own? The people at SETI have been listening to the stars for decades now and haven't heard a peep. This is the famous Fermi paradox, and it's where this new choice-driven narrative game—released today in Early Access—gets its name...

Hey everyone,

Steam Next Fest is over and we shared during the last week for the first time our demo with everybody on steam. A big thanks to everybody, who tried out our game, wishlisted us and gave us feedback. That means a lot to us and your comments and suggestions are a big help. A lot of you asked how the demo will be different from Early Access and here is a short summary:

• The Early Access version will give you as the galactic gardener an empty galaxy.
  Stone age civilizations will evolve on random planets and you have to take care of them.
  
• It will take a while until they develop advanced technologies capable of sending signals to other planets or building interstellar spaceships. The demo shows us the Human and Prun civilizations later in the game.
  
• The full game does not end with a timer. Either all civilizations are dying out or if enough civilizations reach the Singularity age a unique technological event can end the game.
  

We are finishing up the preparation for the Early Access release on July 1st and we are addressing your feedback and ideas.

• Transition times of menus and camera zooms to planets
  A lot of you would like to switch between civilizations and the galaxy faster and interact quickly with the events. We speed up these animations for the Early Access version and plan to implement an option in the settings, so players can disable transitions completely.
  
  
• Optimization and Game breaking Bugs
  Vsync, Stuck in Loading Screen, Resolution issues and Tutorial Blockers are all being addressed for the Early Access version.
  
  
• For some players it was unclear if the game is turn-based or not.
  The Fermi Paradox is a turn-based game. You don’t have to rush while collecting the flares or making choices and we will make this more clear in the tutorial and the interface.
  
  
• Typos and wrong words displaced in texts
  It is really important for us that when playing a narrative heavy game that reading the text is fun and interesting and even small errors can distract from that. Our writers are giving our texts a dedicated editing pass for Early Access. You might have noticed that in some texts words get replaced depending on your choices. These procedural text systems can have in some uncommon cases funny results and it will take a while during Early Access to figure them all out.
  

Also we are really touched by all the people showing up in the Steam forum and in our Discord and are interested in our game. We will give better possibilities for you to give us feedback in those channels and create some sub-channel in the Steam forum and integrate a Discord bot to quickly report bugs or suggest feedback.

We are all very excited for the Early Access launch next week

See you up in the stars, voyager.
