Anarkis Gaming announces the release of version 1.0 of Unending Galaxy, a top-down 2D space strategy game that includes elements of a sandbox space simulation and a 4X strategy game. The launch trailer offers as look at the game. Here's word:

Unending Galaxy is a top down 2D sandbox, simulation and strategy game based in space. The game allows you to play at any level from being a small time pirate to the ruler of a large empire. You can fight, trade, explore, build factories, and amass a fleet to form your own faction and conquer others’. This is its most unique feature: it can be played as a classic space simulation (old Elite), a 4X game (Sins of a Solar Empire) or anything in between (X3). The universe is dynamic and fully simulated, NPC ships live their own lives, factions are able to conquer territories and conduct diplomacy while their economy influences their military production and strength. It can be played on both hand crafted maps and procedurally generated ones. And it has full modding support.
