The Early Access period carries on with a growing community of players and lots of cool new additions. Weekly Schedule We revised our weekly release schedule for practical reasons, so here is the updated version: Monday (end of day): posting of game updates on our Discord citing the addition of new features, various patches and other interface improvements. Tuesday (8:45pm UTC+1): EPIC Tuesday: an official FLASH game (~1.5hrs long) launched every Tuesday with the guarantee that enough players show up so that we can embark on exciting, tension-filled games. Members of the winning faction will be rewarded with quadrils (in-game currency) to be spent on boosting your characters via the game portal. An official ranking system is also being prepared and will allow you to see how you compare against other dynasts. Join us tomorrow for the 5th edition of EPIC Tuesday! Wednesday (8pm UTC+1): weekly TACTIC: an official TACTIC game (4 days long) is launched. It ends on Sunday evening at 8pm UTC+1. The slower pace of these games allows you to bring forth more roleplay elements and to take time to develop deeper strategies with your allies. What have we accomplished since launching in Early Access? Since the launch on November 25, 2020, we mainly worked on stabilizing the game and on fixing a number of bugs. In addition, the following improvements have been made: - Streamlining of the building interface making the game more fluid and the experience more enjoyable, - Redesign of many parts of the interface for increased aesthetics and practicality, - Modification of the lex system for more clarity and dynamism, - Simplification of how agents are assigned, - Balancing and calibrations, - Translation of the game into English (about 60% of the game is now available in English). Our Discord is the heart of the Rising Constellation community. Go check it out to get find more information on the game, tune into announcements, and follow the results of previous EPIC Tuesday games : https://discord.gg/jyYwqKs Feel free to come test out the game, experience its mechanics and help us develop it. Your suggestions and comments are always welcome! We wish you all the best for this new year and hope to see you soon on Rising Constellation! The RC Team

Rising Constellation Linux 32-bit [341.84 M]
Immerse yourself in a fundamentally cooperative gaming experience by choosing your faction based on its political regime, playstyle and history.
Gain power within your faction and become its charismatic leader or elect the member of your faction who will rule your empire, defining the broad lines of a military, diplomatic and economic strategy and leading your faction to victory.
Strategy and role play at the heart of the experience
The game places traditional 4X game mechanics (exploration, expansion, exploitation and extermination) within a setting that is ideal for all role-playing (RP) enthusiasts to write the Rising Constellation Story together.
Several different experiences are available to you:
- " Flash " sessions of around 3h that take you on frenzied conquests of the galaxy with your faction mates. This format is ideal for competitive bouts between twenty players spread over 3-4 factions.
- " Tactical " sessions that take place over multiple days and allow for slower pace of play, a greater immersion in the world, more role-playing, diplomacy and advanced strategies. A hundred players compete for 5 to 10 days for the domination of the galaxy.
- " Legacy " sessions that last between 1 and 3 months give you even more time to get to know your allies and enemies, develop intricate plans, specialize in strength, diplomacy or cunning, and become your faction’s rising star. Around 1000 players can join this huge arena where factions compete for domination of the galaxy.
- Finally, the " History " sessions that will be similar in format to "legacy" sessions, except that they will run on a single server. Such sessions will offer 1000 players (partly chosen for their ranking in the game and partly selected at random through a lottery system) the opportunity to collectively write the history of Rising Constellation through their actions. At the end each server session and in consultation with the session’s most influential players, the history of the Rising Constellation universe will be modified and we will see factions regroup, implode or even disappear following the effects of wars, diplomatic negotiations, and betrayals.
A game of factions
Victory can only be achieved as a faction (your team) with each member playing an essential role in achieving their faction’s victory goals.
The collaborative aspect of the game offers you and your faction mates the opportunity to collectively define the strategies (economic, diplomatic, cultural, and warlike) that will lead your faction to victory.
Negotiations, political campaigns and acts of betrayal will be carried out within your faction when navigating key milestones such as choosing your faction’s leadership and setting the guiding principles of its diplomatic strategy.
A game of agents
You will have 3 types of agents at your disposal with which to help your faction:
- The Navarchs: military agents that lead your spaceship fleets and conquer, weaken or colonize star systems. They can also be of great use within your empire to promote production and the construction of fleets.
- The Effaced: powerful assassins and spies that are masters at gaining you insight into your enemy’s ploys and destabilizing them enemy by killing off their agents.
- The Siderians: diplomats and outstanding speakers that rally the people and convert enemy agents to your cause.
