One of the most important things you need to be taking care of during your travels in Beyond These Stars is not just your Peeps, but Kewa themself! Kewa is a sentient being, a giant Space Whale with needs and wants of their own. We learn this close to the start of the game when Kewa ‘zoots’ through space and takes the Peeps far from their home planet. A unique part of our game design is that Kewa’...

Today we’re going to take a look at an exciting part of Beyond These Stars that goes far beyond the demo gameplay. In Beyond These Stars you can go, well, beyond the stars! You may be hesitant to leave the comfort of Kewa but beyond the stars (see what I’m doing here) there are habitable planets for you and your Peeps to settle!

A lot of the feedback focused on how our original Peep Portraits didn’t quite fit...

We’re going on Strike! Just kidding! It’s actually the Peeps going on strike! Let’s take a look, shall we?When a high enough percentage of your Peeps are unhappy enough, they will start a strike. And just like in real life, some of your production lines will stop while the Peeps are striking. But don’t worry - not ALL of your Peeps will strike at once, so not all of your production will stop. Howe...

While the team at Balancing Monkey Games and you, our lovely community, have been celebrating the switch to a 1.0 Launch, we think we should get the Peeps involved in the celebrations too because there’s no party like a party on the back of a giant space whale! We’ve been working on some new Peep behaviours, and we’ll share one of those with you today. If you haven’t guessed already… Peep Celebrat...
