OFFICIAL BETA UPDATE!

Hello and Welcome to the Official Beta Update,


It’s been over two months since our last update, and we must apologize for such a long wait, especially given our minimal upkeep of our social media. The primary reason for the delay between updates is due to our desire to refine our product based upon user comments/reviews. We set about making a clear push towards tying together EOC's core gameplay systems into a coherent gaming experience. We have a very involved and holistic strategic experience in mind with this game, and the bulk of our work has been taking the concepts and systems that are already laid out, yet inaccessible or vague, and turning them into a more polished and interactive experience. Perhaps the most important Single-Player development has been the addition of an in-game tutorial. Players will be given the option to engage in an interactive tutorial that teaches basic controls and concepts.Some specific tutorial topics include:
  • How to colonize your first star
  • How to engage in Colony objectives
  • How to change which ship is being controlled in combat
  • How to change galaxy simulation time

We've also added an entirely new and exciting game mode for players to enjoy in the meantime while we continue to craft a more accessible and in-depth Single-Player Experience.
Our New Arena Mode is a wave-based survival experience where players will fight off endless attackers until ultimately being overrun. Players will have a choice of permanent upgrades at the end of each wave, and are occasionally given temporary buffs to help in surviving the onslaught.
In order to make the interactions the player has with the galaxy more engaging we have implemented a dialogue system which allows you to perform a number of interactions with colonies.
In addition to these new implementations, the game is available on Mac & Linux TLDR: We are sorry for the long wait, we’ve implemented systems to make the game’s features much more accessible such as the tutorial & dialogue system and have added an arena mode to allow immediate access to some of the more explosive elements as we craft the single player into the larger more in-depth experience we strive to provide. Steam:
  • Now Available On Mac & Linux
  • Steam Achievements
Added:
  • Arena Mode
  • New Empire Race
  • Single Player Tutorial
  • Fleet Retreating (With Transitional effects)
  • New Weapons & Lasers
  • Ship Description Panel
  • Weapon Naming System
  • New Ambient Tracks
  • New SFX (Upgrading Ship, Tips, Arena Pickups)
  • Status Effects
  • Dialogue System for interacting with colonies
Improvement:

  • Generate UI Improvements
  • Generation Speed
  • Interaction UI General Re-design
  • UI Output alterations (Message Log & Message Output)
  • Ship AI Improvement (Better Understanding of Environment)
  • Improved Audio Balance
  • Camera is now smoother and has an increased execution range

Empires Of Creation is the debut title from Bundle Of Sticks studios.

Empires Of Creation is an up-and-coming Sci-Fi themed sandbox game in which the player takes on the role of a fleet commander, destined to make his name in the galaxy and ultimately conquer it. Forge relationships with surrounding empires and use your wit to establish a galactic monopoly. Colonize nearby habitable stars to expand your presence in the cosmos. The universe is your playground in this dynamic economy.

Enjoy fast paced, high intensity fleet battles with enemy ships as you race to the top. Whosoever can prove his superiority in the field and in the diplomatic sphere shall come out victorious.

-Gameplay-

After procedurally generating a spiral galaxy in Empires of Creation the player will find themselves with nothing but potential and an AI that has no regard for life programmed to do whatever is required to conquer the galaxy. Initially the player you will recruit ships from colony worlds that are barely able to scratch the armada of empire fleets, from this point you will proceed to upgrade them to formidable combat hardened battles fleets and eventually destroyers of worlds. The game turns from being a predominantly self centered ordeal, to a risk factoring strategy game as you obtain your first colonizer followed by claiming your first colony and beginning your own empire. Expansion and hostility will find you involved in galactic warfare with entire empires but this is essential if the player wants to obtain the ultimate goal of conquering the galaxy.
