Welcome Universe Architects,

Beyond E25 had us explore our solar system’s galaxy. It’s time to return back to Earth and set sail. Another age is upon us as we begin to travel through the early modern period. Join Semblance as humanity travels across land and sea in the — Age of Exploration.



[h2]A New Era[/h2]
With the expansion of the Primary Simulation, the Age of Discovery has evolved into the Age of Exploration. It was a transformative period in history where different civilizations discovered one another and laid the groundwork for globalization.

• Unlock five new nodes such as the rocket and global trade in the Age of Exploration tech tree.
  

[h2]West Meets East[/h2]
The need for adventure grew with the promise of profit from overseas trade. As land routes were plagued with desires of control, many looked to the potential of ocean passages as an alternative route. As such, development of ships and weapons arose for the journey ahead.

• Zip through the sea with the caravel.
  
• Following its success, the caravel led to the development of its descendant— the galleon. These are large ships that were cheap to build and could be converted into warships.
  
• Arm your ship with muskets and cannons to prevent any nautical threats.
  
• Much more lies ahead for your discovery.
  

[h2]Spice Controls the Universe[/h2]
Three new Augmentations are ready to be added to your fleet.

• Invest your Logits to establish the Spice Islands western trade route with Magellan’s Expedition.
  
• Uncover the lost city of the Incas, Machu Picchu— a masterpiece of civil engineering.
  
• Witness the construction of the Taj Mahal, a marble mausoleum inspired by a blend of Indian, Persian and Islamic architecture.
  

[h2]Fluffy Overload[/h2]
A wooly secret achievement is waiting to be discovered. Can you find this sacred creature? Spitting is optional.



[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]

• You can now track the Science Point progress of your friends on the Leaderboard!
  
• Fixed: Text is no longer missing on the Ursa Major and Eridanus achievement tooltips.
  
• Fixed: Placeholder icons are no more for the E25 generator achievements.
  
• Fixed: Tapping production should now be scaling correctly in Explore: Money’s challenge mode.
  
• Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
  

To celebrate the release of the new Civilization update, we are holding a Civilization Screenshot Contest starting August 19, 2024 at 3:00 PM ET. Share your favorite or most impressive screenshot of the Ancient Civilization garden. More details regarding the contest will be posted soon. Lucky players will receive the Infinity pass as a prize. Join in and show us your most cinematic shots!

It’s been more than a year since we started renovating Ancient Civilization in the Primary Simulation. We hope players enjoyed the new content that’s been added and the garden’s new look. It has come a long way and we are proud of the incredible work our 3D artist Jenna has accomplished.

Thank you for playing. We're always aiming to rock your world.

Hello Universe Architects,

The new Beyond episode is here! For years, this topic has been popularly requested and we’ve taken note. It’s now time for a place that’s near and dear to humanity, the Milky Way Galaxy, to take center stage…





[h2]Twists and Turns[/h2]
Buckle up and spiral into the mysteries of our own galaxy. From Density Waves to Fermi Bubbles, many components make up the Milky Way. But, what’s at the core of it all?

• Collect nine new Trait Cards exploring the different characteristics of our home star system.
  
• Unlock four new cosmic generators: Orion Spur, Perseus Arm, Omega Centauri and Galactic Bulge.
  
• Follow the swirls as the Milky Way appears on the Beyond tree.
  

[h2]One in Two Trillion[/h2]
Watch your hard work take shape in space. Starting with the Orion Spur, each crucial element of the galaxy will appear one by one and eventually form the complete awe-inspiring Milky Way. To give you an idea of how massive it will be, we included a sneak peek (#NoSpoilers).

• Unlock 11 new celestial components that make up the Milky Way in the Beyond garden.
  

[h2]Celestial Celebration[/h2]
The stars are feeling particularly generous with this update. Let’s take a look and see what galactic goodies are now available:

• Two Astronomy Missions are better than one! Increase production as you research the Galactic Plane and Galactic Bar.
  
• Shoot for the stars to form the Hercules and Vela constellations.
  
• Obtain up to 10 new achievements. Can you catch them all?
  

[h3]Additional Features:[/h3]

• The appearance of the Milky Way has changed everything! The camera now pans and rotates as you zoom so that everything stays beautiful, and changes to the side panel and the garden zoom UI make navigating easier.
  
• Looking for a particular planet? Click on an Astronomy Mission with the sidebar open to find its respective Interstellar Object.
  
• Fixed an issue players would not get leaderboard rewards at the end of the event.
  

Our team is back from a refreshing summer break, and we’re looking ahead to new releases! You can hear more about our process in our upcoming Dev Diary. It’s been a while since the last one, so we’re excited to share our thoughts on all we’ve accomplished and what we’re focusing on next in the near future.

Some of you may be wondering what the next update is now, too. While we hope you enjoy exploring every nook and cranny of the Milky Way, we’re also looking forward to our upcoming release: Civilization! While we’ve already started development for the next age, it still has a few steps to go before it’s ready. If you’re interested to stay up to date, follow us on Twitter, join us on Discord or join our beta program.

Want to join the beta program? Message our head mod on Discord or email us at [email protected]. Thank you for playing, and we’ll see you on the other side of the galaxy!
