Earth Appreciation Festival

Dear Space Colony Managers, were happy to be on board for this year's Earth Appreciation Festival. Many devs discount their games and pledge a certain % of sales to the cause of protecting forests. In our case half of Imagine Earth sales go to the Cool Earth initiative between April 1 and 7 which is supporting indigenous people in preserving their forests.

New Update 1.19 Out Now

Canceling a building process or use of tools is again possible Had to replace Temporal Anti Aliasing (TAA) again in favour of Subpixel Morphological Anti Aliasing (SMAA), because it was producing very ugly artifacts on the planet surface. Fixed pixel artifacts in some panel backgrounds Rare resource graphics now show up reliably when blowing up mountains Fixed some graphic animations sometimes stuttering Using the sell overproduction button at a trader no longer automatically sells rare resources that you may want to use for crafting Fixed build ring not working correctly outside your territory Fixed some minor things in the Magni mission Fixed some minor things in the Tuto mission https://youtu.be/Olh_bklBErc

German Voice Over

We experimented with automated translation for a complete german voice output for the campaign. Please give it a listening and tell us what you hear. Interesting how well that already works even though some sentences come across a little weird. For some it might surely be enjoyable. If not, please just switch back to the English voices.

DLC Release on April 8

Please stay tuned, our big Galaxy DLC is finally releasing in a week... https://store.steampowered.com/app/3365760/Imagine_Earth__Galaxies/

Imagine Earth is a real-time planet simulation and a build up strategy game. Your job as a space colony manager is to explore and populate distant planets. Build up thriving and profitable colonies on a global scale and trade resources and goods into space.

Profits vs. Ecocide

You will experience a massive conflict between the profit goals of the interstellar corporations and the need to preserve living conditions for your people. Exhaust emissions and ground pollution impact the global climate as your colony is growing. Increasing temperatures melt down polar caps and your colonies are destroyed by rising sea levels.

Expansion & Research

Raise great cities and satisfy their appetite for resources by building power plants, farms and factories. Dig for ideon crystals, pacify riots, research technologies and constructs and maximize your growth while maintaining a healthy ecosystem.

Allies, Threats & Enemies

Get ready to deal with threats like asteroid strikes, twisters, wild fires, volcanoes and rising sea levels. Fend off space raiders and alien investors. Coexist and trade with natives, merchants and hostile colonies.

Capitalist Space Age

In 2048 huge corporations have divided Earth among themselves and exploited its natural resources to a large extent. Now the discovery of ideon crystals allows journeys into space, while technologically and ideologically almost everything remains the same. The laws of the market are being spread into the universe.

Competition and Economic Warfare.

On each discovered planet a competition for economic dominance breaks out. To expand your colony as fast as possible and overcome your opponents you exploit the freely available fossil resources and minerals. Additional money is provided by selling shares of your colony. Take over opposing companies by buying up their shares.

Trade Resources and Technologies

Merchants and technology traders organize the interplanetary trade and will happily buy all minerals and resources you extract from your territory while selling expensive technologies. The same goes for cooperating colonies and alien tribes that live on some of the planets.
