[p]Happy Birthday, Galactic Survivalists! [/p][p]
Ten years ago, on this very day, a small team embarked on the Early Access adventure on Steam with a game that brought the then rather static Minecraft universe into space and beyond with a sci-fi focus. [/p][p][/p][p]Time flies, and in a decade, Empyrion Galactic Survival has not only expanded incredibly in scope, but has also been rewarded with an ever-loyal community that is always ready to provide comprehensive, detailed, and often critical feedback. [/p][p][/p][p]We are very grateful for this, as it allows us to continue refining and expanding the game over a long period of time.[/p][p]

We are constantly evaluating the possibility of larger features, even though the focus this year and in the next updates will be more on content, e.g., as currently in update 1.13 with new story missions and a total overhaul of the galaxy. Both were only first steps, but long overdue ones, and so this will remain a primary focus for the immediate next versions in order to optimally develop what we have started. [/p][p][/p][p]To keep this birthday tribute from getting too long, and because we want to hear from you, our community, let us know what your first memories of Empyrion are. Which version did you start with? What were the milestones of the game for you, and which feature were you most excited about when it was introduced? Which were the best moments you remember? Do you still have pictures and screenshots from back then? [/p][p][/p][p]Post them directly in the comments below or send them to us at throwback@empyriongame.com"" target="_blank">throwback@empyriongame.com with a description of the reason for the screenshot if you want to see them published on our channels.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/11661918006859472163/1CF0127AE013A3CE9ED6058B8F639C211E6C42A9/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false"][/img]
