If you're used to original Star Conquest, it's pretty sideways honestly. I've also heard that the hosts are just burned out and haven't been developing new systems, etc. Same with Miriani's hosts, as they've had several good games under development that just stopped randomly, E.G. Stellaris.
Squidsoft also had a GWSE2 under development around 2012, but again, that stopped randomly if you read it's short-lived devblog.
Among all this, I've scene several hosts mention it on the message boards on both games that they haven't felt like developing.
Anyway, enough of my rambling about the Squidsoft that once was and what's changed. My character was deleted, and I don't have the energy to come up with a new concept at this moment.
