Dear players,
Dear Community!
Christmas is just around the corner and even though there are still some hopefully quiet days ahead for everyone until the new year, we would like to take the opportunity to bring the past year 2021 to a close.
It was a successful year for us, and hopefully also for you. Starting with Update 1.4 in February, we have, as always with the help of your feedback, finally worked our way through four major updates with partly very different content. Even if each of you has a slightly different idea of what you enjoy in Empyrion Galactic Survival, in retrospect we hope that one or the other addition has met your taste ;) For the recent update 1.7 we started a feedback survey for the first time again:

A lot has happened outside the game as well. New team members as well as the cooperation with Brave Zebra have helped us in the past months to cope with all the necessary work and to contribute to what is still ahead of us.
An important point for us in 2021 was to make the game and the universe of Empyrion Galactic Survival fit for the future. Not only for 2022, but for many years beyond. In order to get the most out of the Unity Engine, we have therefore focused on development processes and the adaptation of underlying techniques over the past year. You could see some of the results throughout the year, e.g. the improved lighting systems and, most recently, the water effects and the first approach of the new decoration system. Further changes, both internally and on the game side, will follow in the coming months.
In the next year and years to come, we will build on these preparations to continuously expand the scope and content of the game together with you, the best community a development team can have.
In this spirit, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful start into the New Year!
Your Empyrion development team
