Stellaris Dev Tracker

by Atmaz

Hello!

I'm Gary Morris (or Atmaz) - Lead Game Designer on the Astral Planes DLC, from Abrakam Entertainment.

I've been playing video games my whole life. Some of my earliest memories are staying up way past my bedtime and grinding out hours and hours on strategy games on the Super Nintendo my older brother got for Christmas. I have specific memories of a particular game where I was cleaning up nuclear waste with my workers, tile by tile, and having a great time doing it. I didn't know it at the time, but I was enthralled by a type of game that would later become known as a "4X."

When I finally did get a computer, it was a Tandy 1000 HX. I still don't know what the HX stands for, or what the fascination is with adding X's onto things. On that machine, I quickly acquired a similar 4X game that was much older, but it capti... Read more

In this week's dev diary, I am taking the reins from Eladrin.
I am a producer on Stellaris and usually help Eladrin as best I can, but today I want to talk about my other project and let Stellaris have a week off before they talk about their next thing.

And that Project is: Star Trek: Infinite

Hello everybody!

Today we’re going to look at a likely 3.10 feature, some changes that we’ve called the Leader Consolidation.

With leaders becoming more important to your empire following the 3.8 ‘Gemini’ release alongside Galactic Paragons, there were some rough edges leftover and experiences that could be better. Some of the changes we’re implementing during this leader consolidation were things we talked about during the development of Galactic Paragons but decided against for various reasons, or were out of scope at the time, while others are based on data gathered since then and community feedback.
So What’s Changing?​ Some of these names are still being argued over, so are subject to change. Hate one in particular? Let us know. One of us probably hates it too.

Hi everyone!

It’s been exactly 100 dev diaries since we introduced the Custodian initiative[forum.paradoxplaza.com] alongside the Lem update. With that milestone met, and 314 being funny math number, I thought it would be a good time to review what the Custodians have accomplished, some of the process they use, and where we could go from here.

To review, the original idea behind the Custodians Initiative was to do some of the following:

• Tweaking game balance
  
• Adding new content to old DLC
  
• Polishi...
