Over the past 2 years, we've been hard at work strengthening the foundation of Hades' Star, so that the game can remain popular and viable for many more years in the future. The result of this effort is called Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA, a massive update to the game that is coming soon to Steam. There are multiple posts at blog.hadesstar.com, describing the motivations, design goals and development process that went on during these years to give the update its final shape. You can review those if you want to dig deeper. However, most players will want to see how their daily gameplay will change, and what to do to keep progressing in the game at an optimal rate. For that purpose, we've prepared the following upgrade guide: http://blog.hadesstar.com/2023/10/dark-nebula-upgrade-guide.html

Now is a great time to start looking for a good Corporation whose members work well together and play Red Stars cooperatively. On November 25, the 5th private Red Star season event begins. During the event, all private Red Stars will award event points to your Corporation, according to the star level, number of artifacts retrieved and Cerberus ships destroyed. The event lasts a week. At the end, the top 200 Corporations (over 5,000 players) will receive Crystal rewards. To see the event countdown timer, and for exact rewards information, open the Leaderboards window in game, select Top Corporations, then press the Red Star button.

As a young college student, I spent countless hours playing Master of Orion. Now that I'm older, I'm finding I no longer have the continuous time required to play and enjoy it. Hades' Star is my attempt to capture some of the promise of Master of Orion, in a way that's compatible with my current time limitations. In Hades' Star, instead of starting a new game every time, you continue building on your previous progress - regardless if you last played 30 minutes ago or months ago. Instead of requiring hours to enjoy a session, most missions last from 5 to 20 minutes. If something happens and you have to go away from the game, your ships will carry out your orders in the meantime. Depth comes naturally over time as you progress your Empire, not by requiring you to navigate extreme complexity up front. At the core of the game's design are our three core pillars:

• Progression and Exploration
• Strategic Depth
• Social Diplomacy
