Hey everyone,
for the last few months we have been hard at work on the next big update for Planet S and we are happy to finally talk about it! As you might have already guessed from our teaser article two weeks ago, it will be a bit different from previous updates. We won't go into every detail yet but the next big update will mainly focus on new end game content (both multiplayer and singleplayer) as well as scenario modding for singleplayer. Building on that we are also going to release a DLC for Planet S. Over the last two years there were many of you who asked for ways to support and this will be a way to do that while getting something back in return. The DLC will add a campagne with a story and different missions to play. We are aiming for a release within the next two months so expect more infos soon!
In other news as you might have already noticed we changed our name from TeamJA to Glimmerlight Games! We feel better about that name moving forward and it should also be easier to pronounce internationally.
That's all for now!
[strike]TeamJA[/strike] Glimmerlight Games :)

Procedural planets
The world consists of up to 16 procedurally generated planets which you can colonize. A planets type affects things like the appearance, the farm productivity and the kind of resources you can find on it. Every player starts the game with a spaceship and enough materials to colonize their first planet. Uncolonized planets can be claimed by building a spaceport on it. Once you claimed a planet, you can integrate it into your economy!Build your civilization
To advance your faction and unlock new buildings you need to attract residents and provide them the goods they require. By gaining more and more residents, you will unlock new production chains which will increase in complexity. At some point, your first planet won't be able to supply you with the resources you need, so you need to expand to other planets.Choose your path
While you start your population with workers, you need to make a decision when you advance to the second tier. You can upgrade your residents to the science or military civilization type. You can adjust the direction in an adjacent city center. Your decision will determine your path for the game and set a focus on either a more peacefully or a violent way of playing and winning the game. It may be rational to carefully consider your decision and adapt to the situation you are in.Residents of a civilization type generate either science or military research points, which you can invest into research. The two research trees unlock bonuses and unique buildings for the corresponding civilization type. Through that, the game experience will rely heavily on the path you select.
Multiplayer
You can play alone or with up to three friends. You can either practice diplomacy and negotiate agreements, or act militarily against each other. Coupled with the fact that each player can build his civilization differently, every game remains exciting.
