EarthX 2 Launches into Early Access on October 15, 2026

hey I'm Denis.

You might remember me actually, EarthX and stuff.

I wanted to write something and then post this here on Saturday, but someone from my team posted this while I was at real-life work and couldn't reverse it. There's been some sad comments here because of this misunderstanding.

I'm really sorry for being offline for so long, went through many unpleasant phases in my life and I gotta tell you that gamedev wasn't the most important thing ever at the times :)

And the world just started to be so cruel and stupid, I started to avoid internet all together. I'm actually using it less than ever, and computer use is limited to me watching a movie or adding some features from time to time. Both of these things resulted in these long development times.

From here I'm really thankful to my friends who are EX1 OGs. You guys on Discord helped me to continue working on EarthX 2 from time to time.

And now we are here. The sequel is ready for the release in Early Access. Yes, we did a few tests over the last 2 years for friends, but the game was very broken. It was not even a game, just demo software that showcases work-in-progress features that didn't work together. All the actual-game stuff like economy system and game balancing/research progression (you know, these things you actually call a "game" when you talk about a game) were added in the last 3 months! So before this summer you couldn't even play EarthX 2.

And no, this doesn't mean that EarthX 2 has no features. EarthX 2 is actually a much bigger game than EarthX currently. This just means that I wanted to develop features in isolation without merging them together. It's just easier.

But now imagine this, I would release such "game" 1 year ago here on Steam. You all would eat me alive. I would literally not come to the light of day anymore. Early EarthX 1 days were so stressful for me. You guys just download an update and play it, but back in the days I had many sleepless nights to learn C# and make the features I promised to you guys. All of this while having to go to school? Which itself was stressful af? This is when I learned that releasing on Steam is no-joke.

This project took me almost 5 years to make and I wouldn't wanna destroy that work with one bad release.

I hope you understand, and if not then well.. you're missing an amazing early access period for EarthX 2 ;)

Wishing you all great weekend!

Denis
