Another entry into the space 4x genre.  This one has been in progress for a while under a different name.  Slitherine is looking for beta testers.

Interesting...but my main focus is on Stellaris. Following the dev blog, the game is looking better and better.

I applied but it's going to take something special to rise above the 3,279 space 4X games already out there.

Yeah, I have hope for Stellaris as well. With a little hope left over for Predestination.

Very much agree. Looks nice, but also looks like so many other space 4x already on the market...

I applied to be a beta tester but like everyone else its going to have to be something special to take attention from Stellaris.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

I'm not concerned about it pulling me away from Stellaris, since that's probably a year away.  I'm more concerned with playing for 15 minutes, having a "been there, done that" experience, and wanting to go back to it.

Stellaris is probably the space strategy game I'm most excited about too, but I've had an interest in this one for quite some time as well. 

Until very recently, it was titled Galaxia: Remember Tomorrow, and the dev (who's a frequent poster in the Explorminate forums) has said and shown a fair bit of it (see here).  I don't know if he's doing anything particularly groundbreaking with the genre per se, but I like a lot of the mechanics & features he's including, and the way he's putting them together.  I suspect Polaris Sector could end up being a proverbial diamond in the rough; time will tell.

Looks like we're getting the band back together.

LOL @ "Space Koalas".   :D


Does that mean Space Kangaroos will be added too?

It seems the ship design is really fun.
