Distant Worlds: Shadows

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Matrix is a publisher giving assistance, but DW is a one man show.

You sure on the 1-man show part? I think Elliot implied as such in an interview about the time of DW's initial release - but is that still the case?

Thank you!

A couple more things for you all...
* box image *

That's a fat box! "DX Edition" Hmm, Deluxe Edition? Superpack with game and all expansions and a big printed manual for reduced price (compared to buying all separate of course)?

Sorry, but the editions are explained on the front page of our store. Expansions are generally "DX" editions which means Digital Express. Some kind of combined "Deluxe" edition is certainly possible as well, but there are no plans for that at present while we're focused on Shadows.

Is it too late to change the box art? I prefer red lasers to blue. This is a deal-breaker.

They would not want to show crappy maxos blasting ships on the front, would they? All titan beam looks better ;-)

The image makes me wonder if there is more fighter love, though.

All lasers should be red, especially titan beams.
