Dear The Fermi Paradox Community,

Development of The Fermi Paradox in 2024 was much slower than we hoped. We are only a small indie team and a mix of burnout, minor health issues, demanding day jobs, writer's block and fresh parenthood caused us to put out only one update in over a year.

Life sometimes gets in the way and when one core team member has only minimal time for the project, the whole development process is immensely slowed down.

The Fermi Paradox is still our passion project, and we will try our best to give it the love it deserves in 2025.

To ensure updates are released faster, we will create smaller updates in shorter intervals and instead of a large roadmap, we will focus on the next features that we want to implement:

  • Menu Improvement There is room for improvement to the user interface, especially in the general event choices and contact events.

  • Nano Age We’ve already written the majority of the events for the upcoming technology level that revolves around nanites and grey goo scenarios.

  • Meta Game / Challenges The Fermi Paradox is meant to be played over and over again, so we will add unlockable challenges and rewards for certain endings or achievements.

  • 3 New Unlockable Species It's been a while since we added new species to the game, so we want it to be possible to discover new species in the galaxy when enough challenges are unlocked.

  • History / Epilogue Improvements The history overview and the final epilogue does not reflect the amazing stories that evolve during a playthrough, and we want to improve on that.

  • Modding Modding is something the community has asked for a long time, and we plan for modding to be introduced in 3 stages. The first will be the ability to change config files for most game values. And in the future, modders will possibly be able to change event texts and at some point, exchange or add in-game art.

Thank you and see you up in the stars, voyager.
