Dear Contractors,

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you've shown for our game, Cygnus Enterprises. It's with a heavy heart that we share this important news about the future of the game. In light of changes made to the development and operational strategies of the game, Cygnus Enterprises will soon cease distribution and operation.

Purchase and download will be disabled, and all game operations will cease on July 30, 2024. The game will also be removed from Steam. However, if you've already purchased and downloaded the game from Steam, you can still play it.

We truly appreciate the love and support you've given to our game. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your support and understanding. We hope to see you again in our adventures in the future!

Sincerely,

Team Miaozi

It's been a heady year of Early Access, from substantial campaign expansions and new flora, fauna, and firearms, to our pioneering AI-Powered NPCs feature launched over summer. But here we are, finally ready to announce:

Cygnus Enterprises is launching in full today!

As with the Lava Update earlier this year, the full launch is accompanied by more new guns, new gear, new enemies (and bosses!), new environments, new buildings for your base, and new missions that bring the Cygnus story to its thrilling climax and conclusion. To all our players who've supported us this past year through Early Access, we extend our most heartfelt thanks at your faith in our game, and invite you to hop back into the world of Cygnus to experience the dramatic finale for yourselves!

The full game now contains 30 story missions as well as dozens of side missions that deliver 20-30 hours of action-packed gameplay, and over 100 weapons to lay waste to crystal-infected creatures and hostile alien anomalies that get in the way of corporate profits. On the base management side, new planters, fish farms and mining towers add an extra layer to resource gathering operations.

Of course, the AI NPCs feature, which allows players to voice chat with NPCs freely (whether to order them around or just have a free-wheeling conversation about whatever you feel like chatting about!), can be enabled throughout these new missions and indeed through the entire game from start to finish, but now requires an account with Inworld, which entitles you to 5000 free monthly interactions. Alternatively, traditionally scripted and voiced dialogue will always be available.

To further sweeten the deal, Cygnus Enterprises is going on sale for 35% off, so there's never been a better time to jump on board and get blasting (and building!).

It's been a long time coming, but we're finally there - tomorrow will mark the full launch of Cygnus Enterprises, after a long and productive year of Early Access.

We'll also be launching with a significant discount, so spread the word if you've been enjoying Early Access already, or get ready to hop in at a lower-than-usual price if you've been waiting on the full release!

More info will drop tomorrow about just what the launch and the accompanying final content wave will mean for our game. In the meantime - we're excited, and hope you are too!

Dear Contractors,

It’s our pleasure to be taking part in Steam SHMUP Fest 2023 starting today (and running until October 3rd), and offering a discount of 35%!

Cygnus contains the DNA of many genres, and Shmups have always been central to how we wanted our action to play and feel. We sprinkled in both Base-Management mechanics and RPG systems and story, but when the alien wildlife gets restless and the guns come out, it’s Shmup time!

With one last free campaign expansion on the way very soon, our cutting-edge AI NPCs feature fully implemented, and the discount from this Shmup Fest sale, there’s never been a better time to jump in and join Cygnus Enterprises! We hope to see you planetside, Contractors.

Hi Contractors!

We have something really exciting to announce today - we just launched a big new AI-powered update that will revolutionize Cygnus Enterprise's narrative and storytelling! Players will now be able to choose to play through the entire story with AIs driving the narrative and dialog.

Before we dive into the details, we have a BIG DISCLAIMER: While this feature is cutting edge, that also means it’s still highly experimental, so perfect stability and quality aren’t guaranteed.

We’re also hugely grateful for all the support provided by Inworld, whose AI infrastructure powers this feature. It’s thanks to Inworld that this feature can be completely free at launch and for at least a couple of weeks afterwards. Most things don’t last forever though – especially when multiple parties are involved – and so we can't ourselves guarantee that Inworld will keep providing AI support to Cygnus Enterprises indefinitely.

We will of course continue to develop content crafted by human writers and voice actors in parallel, as they continue to expand the non-AI generated story of Cygnus Enterprises – which will always remain available.

Anyway, all those disclaimers aside, let's dive into what all this means for you the players, shall we?
