Hey Commanders,We’re back with a new update bringing new features, fixes, tweaks and balancing based on your feedback. New features■ A new assistance option to lower the number of foreseeable crises (those shown on the timeline). It's now possible to have only one every 2 or 3 sectors, or even no foreseeable crises at all.■ Each Hero info panel can now show if they are available.

- Hotfix 1.0.2.1 is live! - 3 June 2026
Hi everyone!We've just released a hotfix addressing an issue affecting heroes purchased from the shop.Under certain conditions, shop-purchased heroes could lose some of their traits after the first jump, causing abilities such as Travel Planner to stop working for the rest of the game. This could also affect the Cylon Among Us crisis: if the revealed Cylon was a hero purchased from the shop, the crisis could become stuck and prevent normal progression.Thank you to everyone who reported this issue and helped us track it down!

- Don't sleep on Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes—it's tricky, tactical and the best FTL-like since, well, FTL - 15 May 2026
Battlestar Galactica's resurgence in 2003 was a landmark moment in science fiction, taking a weirdly Mormon '70s sci-fi romp and turning it into a gloomy space thriller full of political and military drama. "Yes," it said, "sci-fi will have its prestige drama moment as well." We'd had DS9 and Babylon 5 years before, but Battlestar clawed its way out of its niche and became a mainstream phenomenon...

- Behind the Scenes: The Music of Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes - 7 May 2026
Hey everyone!My name is Nicolas de Ferran, I’ve been working as a composer for the past twelve years, and I had the pleasure of writing the original music for Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes.I’m perhaps best known for the music of the indie game They Are Billions, but I’ve worked on many games across console, PC, and mobile. I have also worked as a music editor on titles such as Vampyr, A Plague Tale: Innocence, Greedfall, and The Technomancer, among others. As a long-time fan of science fiction and fantasy, Battlestar Galactica has always held a cult status for me. So when Alt Shift and Dotemu reached out about composing the music for the game, it was a real joy and an exciting opportunity. We spent several weeks discussing ideas and exploring different directions before settling on a musical approach that everyone felt excited about. Once we found that shared vision, I was offic…
- Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Visual Identity of Scattered Hopes - 4 May 2026
Dark and epic. Grandiose, yet sometimes claustrophobic. As complex and diverse as human society itself, Battlestar Galactica has always stood out more for its sociological and emotional depth than for its space opera spectacle—however masterful that spectacle may be.Our art direction had to reflect this: the fight isn’t just about blood and chrome. Within the scope and constraints of an indie game—much like what we achieved with Crying Suns—we worked meticulously to develop a unique art direction, faithful to the series’ DNA, while offering a wide range of possibilities to capture all the complexity we needed to portray. The result of our research, which aimed to create a distinct visual identity, led us to combine various 2D and 3D artistic techniques, paying particular attention to lighting choices and color palettes to ensure visual continuity across the different settings and media.…

- Squadron Deep Dive - 26 March 2026
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes pits you, a lone gunstar Captain, against an overwhelming Cylon Fleet. But you are not defenseless: you can count on your Squadrons, fighting on the front lines as you prepare to jump to the next safe sector.Always close behind, the Cylon Fleet will launch regular attacks, constantly testing your defenses as you journey across the galaxy to rejoin the Battlestar Galactica. A solid defense is vital, down to the weapons attached to your Gunstar itself - but none are more vital than your Squadrons, a last bastion of defense, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.Squadron Basics Each Squadron's base specs will help you to understand its individual strengths and weaknesses in the battles ahead. A Viper’s high speed and low combat range allow it to chase out weaker enemies at a distance, while a Raptor’s high-range fire but slower speed make it ideal…
- Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Story of Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes - 19 March 2026
Hey, everyone!We're the narrative team behind Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, and today we’d like to take you behind the scenes of the game’s story and design! My name is Martin Ringot, Lead Narrative Designer on Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes. I worked closely with Anthony Jauneaud to bring the rich lore of Battlestar Galactica into a roguelite space game.Turning Battlestar Galactica into a RogueliteTranslating the core spirit of Ronald D. Moore’s reboot of the show into a roguelite was an exciting challenge for us, both from a design and a writing perspective.From the beginning, our goal was to create a game where FTL meets Reigns, combining epic space combat with tough political and moral decisions. This vision guided how we designed and wrote the story for this game, while staying true to the tone of the show.To do so, we closely analyzed the show and identified scenes…
