We would like to thank everyone who has followed our game, Star Commander, and all those who have offered suggestions and encouragement.

A new version (#9) of Star Commander has been released, with the overall goal of making the game more complete and polished by adding several features that were missing from previous versions. For those who haven’t heard of Star Commander, it’s a turn-based 4x strategy game set in space, completely free to download and play with no ads or in-game purchases. Please give the new version a try and leave comments; we hope you enjoy your time conquering galaxies!
