    COMMUNITY AT THE HELM — Tense Games Overhauls Stellar Warfare Discord With New Feedback Zones & Exclusive Supporter Areas

    Independent developer Tense Games has launched a major restructuring and feature update to the official Stellar Warfare Discord community — creating dedicated spaces for player ideas, clearer channels for development feedback, and an exclusive area to recognise and reward Patreon supporters.

    The revamp centres on the server at https://discord.gg/ymfJPRF6jx — now reorganised to strengthen the link between the team and the growing strategy player base.

    Why the Overhaul? — Community as Co-Designers

    Stellar Warfare blends classic base-building with deep-space fleet command — a game shaped from the start by the input of its players. As the community has grown, so has the need for a space where every voice can be heard and every suggestion can find its place.

    “Strategy games often have incredibly passionate communities, and Stellar Warfare is no exception,” said Thomas van den Essenburg, Founder of Tense Games. “Players spend a lot of time experimenting with different strategies, fleet compositions and approaches to combat. That experience can be incredibly valuable when deciding how to improve and expand a game.”

    The goal: move beyond scattered conversations and create a structured, welcoming environment where feedback drives development forward.

    What’s New? — Your Voice, Front and Centre

    Dedicated Feedback & Suggestion Channels

    The most significant addition is a clearly focused section where players can submit, discuss and vote on ideas — from fleet management tweaks and combat balance adjustments to quality-of-life upgrades and entirely new gameplay systems. No idea gets lost in the chatter; every suggestion has a home, and popular proposals are easier than ever to spot and review.

    The studio intends to use this hub to prioritise changes, ensuring the roadmap reflects what the community actually wants.

    Exclusive Patreon Supporter Zone

    For those backing development through Patreon, the update introduces a dedicated, locked area of the server — a space for supporters to connect with one another and with the team, and to feel recognised for making ongoing development possible.

    “Independent game development is made possible by the people who believe in what we’re creating,” van den Essenburg added. “We wanted to give our Patreon supporters a dedicated place within the community, while continuing to make the wider Discord a welcoming space for everyone interested in Stellar Warfare.”

    Smoother Navigation, Better Spaces

    Beyond the headline features, the whole server has been reorganised:

    • Streamlined categories for general chat, development updates, match coordination and technical support
    • Clearer guidelines to keep discussions constructive and inclusive
    • A welcoming onboarding flow to help new members find their feet quickly

  • Cosmic Chaos and Custom Fleets: Why Stellar Warfare is the Space RTS You Need to Play

    Cosmic Chaos and Custom Fleets: Why Stellar Warfare is the Space RTS You Need to Play

    The Real-Time Strategy (RTS) genre is a timeless classic, but it takes a truly ambitious project to stand out in the crowded space-combat field. Enter Stellar Warfare, a game that is not just paying homage to the greats like Homeworld and Red Alert, but is also charting its own course with unique and deep mechanics.

    Developed largely as a passion project by a small team, this indie gem is proving that you don’t need a massive studio to deliver a stellar galactic conflict.

    What Makes Stellar Warfare So Compelling?

    At its core, Stellar Warfare is an old-school RTS experience—you harvest resources, build a base, and command a fleet to crush your enemies. However, it layers on features that elevate it far beyond a simple nostalgia trip.

    Deep, Modular Ship Customisation

    Forget pre-set unit lists. This is where Stellar Warfare truly shines. The game provides you with over 200 available ships, weapons, and modules to design your fleet from the hull up.

    • Design Your Killer: Want a swift, shielded frigate with long-range missiles? Or a lumbering capital ship stacked with laser batteries and armour? The ship editor is a tinkerer’s dream, allowing for a near-unlimited number of possible configurations.
    • Strategic Variety: This customisation means no two battles are the same. Victory often hinges on out-designing your opponent as much as out-manoeuvring them on the battlefield.

    Full 3D Space Combat

    Unlike many RTS games confined to a 2D plane, Stellar Warfare embraces the vastness of space with full 3D movement. Ships can attack from above, below, and all angles, transforming skirmishes into visually stunning, chaotic lightshows of laser fire and explosions.

    The sheer spectacle of a fully customised fleet engaging in a high-stakes 3D battle is a breathtaking experience that captures the cinematic feel of classic sci-fi.

    Classic Base-Building Meets Space Strategy

    The base-building elements borrow heavily from legends like Red Alert and Supreme Commander. You’ll construct:

    • Refineries and Power Plants to fuel your economy.
    • Defensive Turrets and Overshields to protect your critical infrastructure.
    • Shipyards to pump out your newly designed war machines.

    This familiar foundation makes the game instantly accessible to RTS veterans, while the 3D map adds a refreshing layer of spatial strategy to where and how you build.

    Game Modes to Test Every Commander

    Stellar Warfare offers a diverse set of modes to keep you engaged:

    Game ModeDescription
    SkirmishClassic RTS battle against the AI or human opponents.
    CampaignetteA small story-driven mode following the aftermath of “The Light.”
    Wave DefenseA challenging co-op or solo mode focused on base fortification and survival against endless enemy waves (a community-requested feature!).
    Battle RoyaleA multiplayer mode for large-scale, winner-take-all engagements.

    A Labour of Love

    What truly gives Stellar Warfare its heart is its origin. As a self-funded and community-driven project, the developers have consistently listened to player feedback, implementing major features like co-op and key balance tweaks based on what the community wanted.

    It’s clear this game is a passion project, and that dedication shines through in the unique mechanics and the sheer volume of content.

    If you’re a fan of classic real-time strategy, the strategic depth of fleet design, and stunning space battles, Stellar Warfare is waiting for your command. Download the free demo and start designing your ultimate death-fleet today!
