[released] Upcoming Expansion for Stellar Monarch
EDIT: The expansion has been released!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1148180/Stellar_Monarch_The_Age_of_Technology/


As I was saying a few years ago, I was planning to eventually make at least one expansion for Stellar Monarch. That time is quite near :) There is a 98% chance the first expansion will be done in 2019.

So, after full release of Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown (which I urge you to buy and review ;)) I'm starting full time work on Stellar Monarch's Expansion #1.

Actually, the expansion is already half done, since I was doing it in the "meantime". Testing various mechanics, checking what would work and what not and so on. So, I expect the development to not take too long (I know, I'm saying so with each new release and then it's delayed :D)

The theme of the expansion will be technology (BTW, if you have a name idea for the expansion post it below), the working title is "Technocracy". EDIT: the final title is The Age of Technology.



Here is a quick link to Stellar Monarch:

And a link to the newest project Legends of Amberland: The Forgotten Crown (after it's done I will start with the expansion).

Looking forward to the DLC. Stellar Monarch is one of my favorite scifi games.

Ive also listed the game in my curator's list of the best games on steam:

Very cool.

Could you please elaborate on the technology focus? Will this see an update of the tech tree or a rework of how technology affects the game. I think it would be cool to come to cross roads in the tech tree where you make choices that affect the story lines.

I mean Technology in the overall and thematic sense. Not just research system, but anything related to technology. Like new aliens who are machines, maybe terraformation, building megastructures, constructing star fortresses, etc.

That sounds dope.

Oooooh, nice.

So, what should be the name of the upcoming expansion? Note it should reflect the technology/science feel of the expansion.

Some ideas:
  • Bureau of Technological Advancement
  • Stellar Monarch: Technocracy
  • Stellar Monarch: The Age of Technology

Oooooh, I like the last two a lot. Hey Chris, unless I missed something, I don't see a dev diary for the upcoming expansion. If you make one, I'll add it to the upcoming show as a full item vs. a quick mention.

So, you say "Stellar Monarch: XXX" format is best?

Make just the mention for now, I have no dev diary yet.

Stellar Monarch: Provectus

'Provectus' is Latin for 'Advanced'

"Stellar Monarch: The Era of Technology" IMHO would be perfect. Maybe "Stellar Monarch: The Era of Metal" if you will include terminator-like races. Because the game is divided in eras.

"Era" could be misleading since there are eras as a mechanic in the game (it would indicated there is a new era added which is not true). That's why I "Age" proposed.

BTW, no one likes Stellar Monarch: Technocracy? :(

Nice name

Valid point.

TBH it's sounds like you added new form of government (which I know it isn't, monarchy could be techocratic) or changed something in the governing part of the game.
"Bureau of Technological Advancement" also would imply you added new bureau player could interact with.
The last one is the best one at this moment IMHO.

This name is not as obvious as it should be.
