Decided to tell everyone about this game I came across.
Star Ruler is a mixture between the RTS and 4X genres. Our goal is to bring an expansive galaxy to life, and provide many ways to experience the world - whether your goal is to conquer, extinguish, or make peace with all life - so there will always be something new to experience.
Features:
1) is it possible to have multiple civilizations occupying the same planet
2) if not, would it be possible to mod that functionality in?
1) No
2) That is not modable at this time; this may become modable post-release.
Ok, I didn't think so, just a thought I had about possibly having a scenario based on the start of the colonization of the solar system, but I suppose it could be pushed out to late colonization and early conflicts pre-ftl.
Looks like Star Ruler is now available on D2D.
I'm still holding out for Impulse if that happens. If not I'll give GG or D2D a try if I have to. Gotta support ambitious indie devs, especially when they deliver stuff like galaxy sized star ships!
I may have to buy this game now...
Our third distributor is: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSEEEEE (Impulse) Seriously. I've been waiting for like three months+ to say that.
Sweet! When will it be on the store?
Sometime soon; they're working on it. We'll keep you posted.
I'll wait until it's up on impulse then! Thanks for making it available through an excellent service.
Heck, thank Impulse for havin' us!
We're glad we were able to get the game to you guys on the service you preferred.
Cool! Can we expect more screenshots and videos antime soon?
Was thinking of doing a live demonstration of Star Ruler today, actually. Currently setting up my configurations and so forth over on Procaster. If you'd like to come see the 'pre-game' stuff while I panic and so forth, feel free to come over to:http://www.livestream.com/srdevstream
If you can, can you record this and put it on youtube? I'm going to be busy today and I probably won't get to watch it live
Are there actually galaxy sized ships? Somehow that seems ... a bit hard to pull off. Props for giving it a go though.
My personal preference would be a general max the size of a solar system. I mean think about it ... Thats HUGE!!!! Galaxy size just seems to big.
Congratz are in order for getting this kind of game done and finished in the first place, a secondary kudos goes out to both stardock and you guys for bringing this to impulse, I have steam but much prefer impulse and will be my choice of electronic purchases for the foreseeable future .
While I have already made the decision to purchase this game when it becomes available, I am more than prepared to go through the initial mass bug squashing that inevitably comes with such a complex game release, I just hope you all show the same enthusiasm after the game launch and keep the patches coming in a timely fashion along with what seems to be a great communication from the developers.

Is there literally a space-ship the size of a galaxy?
I sincerely hope not.
I think it's planned for you to do that, but it's so ludicrously expensive and time consuming that you won't ever see one except in massive, many-galaxy games.
Now doing a live stream of the game for those who missed out yesterday. Also, we uncapped the limit of 50 people on the stream so feel free to join!http://www.livestream.com/srdevstream/
Game will come out on Monday on Impulse. Stardock is closed during it's office hours; sorry guys.
So uh I checked out this stream and was greeted with pictures of naked chicks, and rosie o'donnel. my 5 year old nephew was right next to me. Shame, I'm not going to purchase this anymore because of that.
What? Seriously? When did that happen? I've been watching their stream, and the worst I saw was bad language. Sorry to hear that sushikawa, these guys definitely deserve a shot.
Yikes. Sorry to hear that, Sushikawa. That was a recorded livecast from the 19th that Artem did; I'll remove it from our list.
Artem does tend to run a bit more of a mature stream. We've had the stream's rating at R for some time now but I forgot that Livestream doesn't do an age-verification, etc. when you're direct-linking.
Edit: The game is now available for pre-order on Impulse at the 20% discount available elsewhere.
