Greetings Gaters! This is it, the full release version of the game is finally here!

The biggest update yet

For those who missed the preview here’s a short list of what you can expect:

3 new factions which whom you can now fight, trade or form alliances
4 new victory conditions
New difficulty settings
5 new equipments
Lots of QOL improvements and balancing
Steam achievements

We were also able to add one more thing at the last minute, and it was the most requested feature by the players: You’ll now have access to a new tech that allows more gaters to cross the gate at any time. Meaning you can form teams of 4 or 5 gaters! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/662bbeb36982dbf11cc4d17b6651a1c7924109de.png The more the merrier Please note that saves from the current public version (0.9.1) or earlier will not be compatible with the v1.0. You can switch to a “Beta branch” for the version you were using from Steam game settings if you want to continue your current save.

A look back at early access

Now if we look back at what we announced at the beginning of the early access, it took us a little bit longer than expected, but we managed to add everything we planned to in this full release version of Exogate Initiative! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/939402b523460c6022f52c7c3ee79e6abc714eae.jpg Our initial roadmap (you can check the corresponding news here)

Mission events editor
Environmental mission events
More rooms, equipment and upgrades
Recruitable alien gaters
New invaders and improved defense gameplay
Alien factions and 4X gameplay
Diplomat gater class
Improved gaters, teams and missions management

We are extremely proud of what was accomplished by such a small team. It started as a solo project a long time ago, and in the end 24 talented people contributed one way or another to make this game, but on average only 2 were working on it full time! We’d like to address a special thanks to the community that helped us shape the game all along the early access, your feedback was always precious and led to some major changes that ultimately made the game far better.

New supporter pack

If you think we did a good job, and want to show your support, there is now a Supporter Pack DLC available, it will grant you some special visual skins for the gate room and the builder bots. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/3a1a1f1f5dbe430b16d148177632f26894f3de59.png Who does not want fancy banners in the gate room? But one of the best ways to help us right now is to share the word if you enjoyed the game, and leave a review! We will obviously continue to support and address any issue that we may have missed, so do not hesitate to give us feedback. We truly hope that you will have a blast with the game!

The Apocalyptic Archive are an insect-like race, out to colonize new sectors in response to devastating overpopulation on their homeworld. Any sympathy towards them could be dangerous though - they aren’t openly aggressive, but they will defend their territory if pushed, and may seek to claim your sectors for their own. Diplomatic relations with their imperial leader should be handled delicately. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/be1d3ebd508a27aad909396987c26ca321847f98.pngTreat the Empress with respect, lest she declare war on you

Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate - Exogate!

You’ll now need to think about what the enemy faction is doing as you move across the star map, since both you and the Apocalyptic Archive will earn a score, based on claimed territory, gathered resources, and influence generated. The faction with the highest score when the game time is up defeats the other and wins the game! (You can continue the game beyond this point though.) Either side can also be defeated if the other blockades their homeworld (claims 3 or more surrounding sectors), which erodes unity, leaving a faction open to receiving the final blow. Relations with another faction are also fluid - the more aggressive your activities, the more likely it is they will declare war on you. Missions become more limited during wartime, which only ends when one faction defeats the other, or when both sides agree to make peace. These are the new mission types that support this contested sector gameplay (the other faction can also send teams on all of these missions):

Invasion: Send a team with at least 1 soldier to invade and claim an enemy sector
Defense: Send a team with at least 1 soldier to repel a sector invasion by the enemy
Liberation: Send a team with at least 1 diplomat to reduce an enemy sector’s influence, eventually releasing their hold so it can be claimed
Consolidation: Send a team with at least 1 diplomat to boost the influence of a sector in your territory, helping prevent its release by the enemy
Diplomatic: Send a team with at least 1 diplomat to improve relations with the enemy, and reduce the chance of war breaking out
Final blow: Send a team with at least 1 soldier and diplomat to the enemy’s blockaded homeworld, after their unity has eroded, to defeat them once and for all

Invasion and defense missions can also trigger a new type of event called Team Fights. Should your team encounter an enemy team on the same world, a text-based combat event will trigger, with choices and dynamic outcomes based on the abilities of the gater classes involved. A team fight only ends when one team is killed, or withdraws. Encounters with another faction can also trigger unique story events, for both first contact and subsequent interactions. Choices you make in these events will affect diplomatic relations, and may allow you to make an early discovery of the location of the faction’s homeworld. Once their homeworld is located you can contact their leader directly, to try and achieve various political and diplomatic results. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/d61e02e35722a47a8bc53a2ccd8b6e8cc03a9a2e.pngTeam Exogate Initiative vs Team Apocalyptic Archive. FIGHT!

Diplomats & Alien Affairs

As mentioned above, the new Diplomat gater class has a key role to play in the new strategic gameplay. They also unlock with a new room, Alien Affairs, whose Intel Console allows diplomats to spy on the activities of another faction, learning their likelihoods to both declare war and make peace, along with other information like their current score. Diplomats are also important during faction events, where they can affect relations and outcomes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/c95a48e5f8d8f7dc3dbe1f977e776ee3db86add0.pngThe truth is out there - and a diplomat is going to find it

More New Features

Also new in this patch:

Gater Memorial: Records the name and likeness of a gater that died in the course of their duties (can be built in the Library)
Invasion Waves Rebalancing: A smoother experience from one wave to the next
Game Speed Controls: Addressing one of the most requested community features, you can now speed up the game time until your heart’s content!

Full 1.0 Launch Incoming!

This new update marks the penultimate step towards our full release of the game. It will allow us to gauge your feedback on the 4X elements, so we can ensure they are the best they can be for prime time. So please don’t be shy in letting us know your thoughts about the new features, and what you would like to see in the 1.0 launch version; you can reach us through the in-game feedback tool, the Steam forums, our Discord, or anywhere you prefer! We’ll also continue to polish and improve the faction AI, and add multiple new factions to the game - come 1.0 you’ll be able to challenge one or more different factions in a single run, or opt out of the 4X challenge completely, if you prefer a more relaxed experience. Thank you for your continued support, especially as we near the finish line. It’s a critical time for us to make as much noise as possible about the game, so people who might like it know that it exists. It’s difficult for independent studios, especially ones as small as ours, to really make a wormhole-splash on Steam; so we will be extremely grateful for anything you can do to help support us - whether that be wishlisting, leaving a Steam review, sharing your feedback, or just telling your friends. We’ll be in touch again soon with our plans for the launch. Until then, it’s a dangerous universe out there, so safe travels! Maxime MILLET Creative Director, Xeno Bits

Patch Preview 0.9: Bringing 4X to Exogate

Xeno Bits Devsteam_community_announcements

776d ago

Greetings Gaters! We hope this message from the stars finds you well. Here in the northern hemisphere we’re looking forward to the summer weather - and bringing you the next major update to Exogate Initiative! As we mentioned in our anniversary message, we’re releasing the 4X update before the 1.0 launch, so we can test the feature, gather your feedback, and make it the best it can be in time for Exogate activation. We’ve been hard at work bringing this to fruition, and we expect to deliver it by the end of July. But today let’s step through the Gate and talk about alien factions - including the first one you’ll encounter, which will be released alongside the 4X features in Patch 0.9. Expect some gameplay and lore spoilers below!

Alien Factions

Though you’ve encountered many alien races already in your explorations of the universe, none have possessed the power and technology of the Exogate Initiative - until now. (Apart from perhaps the Sqarbs, and a certain other Earth organization). The full game will feature 4 new alien factions, whom you’ll compete with on the star map. Each run will be configurable, so you can choose as many or as few of them as you want (including none at all, if you’d prefer to expand without competition), and what level of challenge you’d like. These factions can do everything you can do: send teams to new worlds, meet aliens, exploit resources, collect artifacts, claim sectors. Should the circumstances arise, they’ll also be able to declare war on you. And you can do the same. Each faction has its own unique identity, appearance, backstory and culture, which you’ll discover through events. How you interact with them, both in events and as you contest territory on the star map, will affect diplomatic relations and your own sphere of influence. Each faction also has a unique leader character, whom you can contact directly for trade and diplomacy, once you’ve discovered (or negotiated the location of) their homeworld.

Apocalyptic Archive

The first faction we’re introducing to the game is called the Apocalyptic Archive. It’s an archival organization representing an imperial, insect-like race called the Decae. Their society crashed due to massive overpopulation on their homeworld, and they lost much of their history and culture. This necessitated their expansion to the stars, which they now traverse in vast ark ships, living museums where they meticulously and obsessively catalogue everything about themselves and their discoveries, should the unthinkable happen again. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/8e349ce45d0d3ef0ee75df4c256a2f64a5212cb6.png How will their encounters with the Exogate Initiative be recorded in their archives?

Next Time!

There’ll be more new content in Patch 0.9 alongside 4X, but we’ll dig into that nearer the time - including the new Diplomat gater class! As mentioned, we’re aiming for the end of July to ship this first 4X update, but we’ll let you know when we have more information. It won’t be long now until you have some serious competition out there in the universe. Thank you for your continued support, feedback, wishlists and reviews of the game - we’ll see you, and your rival factions soon through the Exogate! Safe travels, Maxime MILLET Creative Director, Xeno Bits

Celebrating One Year of Exogate Initiative!

Xeno Bits Devsteam_community_announcements

836d ago

Greetings Gaters! Exogate Initiative has now been in Early Access for one orbit around the sun! We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s played, given feedback on, reviewed, wishlisted, or otherwise supported the game. We wouldn’t be here without you guys! So let’s take a look back through space and time, and reflect on the game’s journey so far - as well as update you on our revised pre-launch schedule (short version: there will be another update before 1.0). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/52b8a8db47c2f15b10e53bb2d86c21ccdeab34dd.gif Many adventures have been had through the Exogate. Many more await.

A Brief History of Exogate Initiative (Early Access Edition)

18 April 2023: Steam Early Access Launch (AKA the Big Bang)

The game launched with many new features not seen in the previous demos, enabling substantial campaign runs for the first time. New features included invasions, 5 gater classes, full roster of core rooms and unlocks, and 166 new and revised narrative events. The game was also fully playable in English, French and German. (For what happened before the Big Bang, please scroll riiiiiiiiiiiight to the bottom of our news feed!)

Q2 2023: Balancing, Performance, UX, Bugs

It’s fair to say the game launched in what me might tentatively call “hard mode.” The balancing and economy still needed some work, and so that was the priority for our first post-launch updates. Combined with important performance, stability, and UX improvements, we smoothed out the player experience. We also squashed many bugs (alas not Sqarbs).

Q3 2023: Event Editor & Steam Workshop

Our first major content update! We launched our event editor tools so players could create their own choice-based missions on exoplanets - including support for linked storylines, to tell stories across multiple worlds. Built-in Steam Workshop support means you can also share your creations, or download what others have made. This update also saw us add plenty of new events to the game, alongside new features in the base such as bedrock mining and new types of beds.

Q4 2023: Alien Gaters & Operations Room

Alien gaters arrived before the end of the year, bringing 3 new alien races to the game - but this time ones that could be recruited to live and work in the base, and go on missions with your teams! This went hand in hand with the new Operations room, which provided the much-requested ability to return to planets for more resources. Sprinkle in some cool new tech like Exonium Generators, Builder Bot upgrades, and an improved mission overview UI, and this represented our second major content release.

Q1 2024: Invaders & Defenses

This brings us to the present day and our biggest update yet, released just last month. We overhauled the invasion gameplay to introduce different types of invader unit, which arrive in dynamic waves that adapt to your strategy. You of course were provided with new weapons, defenses and controls to deal with them! We also added more equipment to craft, and unlocks that allow for more diverse classes on missions, so they can help with events.

Roadmap to Launch (Revised)

The main features left to implement before launch are:

Alien factions and 4X gameplay
Diplomat gater class
Further improvements, features and polishing, as time allows

However, the alien factions and 4X gameplay is a very large feature, and we want to make sure we get it right with your input. The original plan was to release this on a preview branch prior to the 1.0 launch - but instead we think a full patch update of a smaller version of the feature would be better. So now there will be a patch update prior to 1.0, which will contain 1 alien faction with their own agenda on the star map. This should launch around early Quarter 3. From there we will iterate and improve the feature, and add an additional 3 factions to coincide with the 1.0 launch. This is summarized in the new roadmap image below: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40912365/c8326a4368b457c7c9874215721abfc446cfb28a.png We hope you’re as excited as we are for what’s coming next through the Exogate! With that, all that remains is to say thank you once again for being a part of Exogate Initiative’s first year of life. We’d love to hear what the game means to you, what your favorite updates were, and what are some of your fondest memories from playing it this past year. Safe travels, Maxime MILLET Creative Director, Xeno Bits
