In case you have been living under a rock, Blind Mind Studios revealed the development of Star Ruler 2 almost exactly a year ago. The game, which is supposed to be a true improvement over BMS original 4X RTS hit in all aspects, is now available on Steam Early Access: Store.steampowered.com

Star Ruler 2 has been in development for three years already, and aims to improve playability by not just expanding on features that had been neglected in SR1 (yes diplomacy, I am looking at you!), but also streamlining the accessibility of the game without dumbing down gameplay.
If that wasn't enough, the moddability of the game has an even higher priority this time around, ensuring that virtually any aspect of the game can be modded.
Needless to say that if you liked Star Ruler 1 (and, just maybe, the Galactic Armory mod) you should definitely check SR2 out and keep an eye open (or two) for any modding-related news to come!
It's been years and I'm saying first.
