Coldrice here! I wanted to fill everyone in on the progress towards the next Interstellaria patch. Last update I mentioned it'd take a while. It's actually taken longer than expected. Let me fill you in on why, and how to test it today!
Originally the next patch was planned as a UI reskin, and focus a bit more on other areas. As we began delving into the reskin we instead decided to TOTALLY renovate the UI and the way it functions. This renovation should allow for easier and more intuitive use AS WELL as making bug fixes and future additions a lot easier. I am very excited with how things have progressed on the coded end of things with the new UI. Due to the scope of doing this, it has taken a number of months... but we're almost there!
So much more information in a much more simple format. Windows can be dragged, and multiple windows open at the same time. So many more neat additions that can't be listed here, but will be listed when the patch finally goes live!
If you're not wanting to wait, and are interested in trying it NOW NOW NOW it's actually already been live on the beta branch! You can right click "Interstellaria" in your library and then hit "properties." from there hit the betas tap, and swap to beta branch from there.

Opting into the beta WILL delete your save files! You can drag your saves out of their folder, and then back in, if you'd like though.

- Interstellaria OST
Command a fleet of vessels wandering the galaxy for adventure and profit! You’ll be forced to make tough decisions as you face hostile starships, crippling space anomalies, and intriguing aliens. When your fleet faces certain doom, should you direct your crew to make critical repairs, or report to their stations and boost your fleet?
Land your flagship on an alien world, allowing your crew to gather valuable resources for you— but be sure to equip them with powerful armor and weapons! It’s a dangerous universe out there, and although many helpful creatures will trade or share valuable information with you, many more will attack on sight!
Features
- Tactical crew management. Direct crewmen to put out fires, or repair damaged equipment. Posting them to their station boosts your fleet's speed and combat abilities.
- Customize your ship with helpful stations. Allocate power to important systems or simply outfit your ship with lasers and put all power into weapons!
- Your crew eats, sleeps, and needs entertainment. Each one develops unique traits throughout the game that help or hurt the mission. Various outfits and weapons can be found to customize them further.
- Fleet-based combat. Instead of controlling a single ship, you control multiple ships each with their own crew.
- Fully explorable galaxy, no areas are off limits. Each region has unique ships, aliens, and mysteries to find.
