While Star Ruler 2's mod scene hasn't been very active in recent months, the release of the source code will hopefully open up some new doors. The GitHub page for the game makes nods to both the Steam forum community for the game, and a Discord server for Rising Stars, one of the larger Star Ruler 2 mod projects, which can be found on Mod DB here. Star Ruler 2's community (including modders) is small, but this release seems to have woken them up somewhat. While the self-assembled, free version of the game misses out on the music and Steam achievements, everything else is fully functional, including multiplayer, fully cross-compatible with people playing the Steam and GOG releases. The GitHub page for the game includes full instructions on what to do, starting with (for Windows, at least) downloading and installing Visual Studio 2017. Better still: Everything but the music is included, so if you build it yourself, it's entirely free.Īssembling your own copy of Star Ruler 2 isn't as complex as it sounds. Developers Blind Mind Studios have been inactive for a while now, but this week they kindly made Star Ruler 2 (and its expansion, Wake Of The Heralds) open source. Its 2015 sequel, Star Ruler 2 flew under our radar, but was a slightly more coherent, traditional game, while still offering conflict on a truly daft scale. Star Ruler was a 4X space strategy game where ships could be as big as planets, and carry weapons that could punch holes in suns.
