The Spatials: Galactology, the sequel to Weird and Wry’s beloved space colony management sim, will hit Steam Early Access next Thursday, July 7th!
The Spatials: Galactology will be FREE to every Steam user who previously purchased The Spatials or activated a code for the game on or before July 5, 2016.
Starting life as The Spatials V3 nine months ago, Galactology was originally envisioned as a free update and was communicated as such to owners. However, the scope and feature set of this “new version” kept growing — and it became clear that The Spatials: Galactology would end up as a standalone game. The answer? Weird and Wry would gift a free copy of the sequel to owners of the original game, which were promised a free update.
Since the gifting process is manual, it requires the help of a Valve employee — so it may take a while for all Spatials owners to get their free Galactology copies.
NEW ADDITIONS
The Spatials: Galactology is The Spatials reimagined as a deeper, more rewarding simulation game. With mod support and active pause, Galactology adds new items and structures to build, trade routes to exploit, planets with many new variables, sophisticated AI, civilizations that actually attack your station — and unique gameplay systems behind every object and room.
The game also has full Steam Workshop compatibility and now includes a large chunk of gameplay source code with every copy. Modders will have field day with this one!
BACKSTORY
The galaxy the Spatials once knew has changed. In The Spatials: Galactology, everything is in turmoil: The Federation is collapsing, a 5,000-year-old cat is leading a revolution, strange cults are spreading, and the worst chef of all time is a TV superstar. It’s time for the Spatials to start a new era of science and diplomacy by building the ultimate tourist trap…er…vacation hotspot in the outer reaches of the universe!
