While the empire has access to advanced technology some pieces are better than others. Unfortunately some of them are highly impractical for most purposes. While ship drives and jump lanes allow faster than light travel there are still limits to how far and how fast one can travel using them. The known peak of such technology is the trade gate. Unfortunately they are massive, power hungry, and costly to build. While they allow nearly instantaneous transportation they are rare.

A new trade gate is however being constructed. Profits can of course be made delivering materials to the site. Despite this companies have largely ignored the area of the new trade gate as the area is sparely populated and barely developed. Prove to the naysayers that money can be made and set your company up for future endeavors.

Regions were supposed to be able to have extra costs for building within them. This didn't work properly which also threw off the balance of some scenarios. This has been fixed. Related to this is further rebalancing of The Wheel.

Scenario #12

Random map generation.

It’s hard to believe Next Fest is almost over. The week went by in a flash! Even though we’re hard at work on getting Ctrl Alt Deal ready for launch, we had time to try a few demos. Today’s the last day to play those demos (but don’t worry, ours will stay up after the festival ends!).

Life Below is a beautiful, innovative take on a city builder. What if you were a cool underwater spirit managing resources like coral and pearls to develop an ecosystem? This game is utterly beautiful (we love pretty games) and lovely to play. Our lead writer, Amber, famously hates swimming and even she found it enchanting.

Next, the wild ride that is Paris Transylvania. Is it too early to call it this summer’s Balatro? We played as Marie Antoinette, fleeing revolutionary France only to stumble into a monster-infested Transylvania. It’s the deckbuilder/Plinko mashup we never knew we wanted.

Paradigm Island snuck up on us. At first it seemed to be a chill text-based RPG. But the skill checks, logic puzzles, and gorgeous art (did we mention we love pretty games?) hooked us and drew us further in. We felt like we were in the Adventures of Tintin, if Tintin was a newbie mercenary going on his first job with his adoptive family/crew.
