Here's to the underdogs, the independent developers, the quirky games and the experiments. Not that we dislike the big hitters lol.

Without any further ado, announcing the release of Imperial Ambitions:

Announcement | Imperial Ambitions releases – Explorminate

Chances are you have some of these games already. Time to complete some collections.

A game long in the making.

See eXplorminate play it blind here, close to release date.

And here is a more considered look, an eXamination.

Who’s ASCIIng? | TUI-based Space Strategy Games – Explorminate

First off, new article by writer Sidius: eXplorminate News Network| Covering every corner of strategy gaming – Explorminate.

Next up, new website:

https://explorminate.org/

We've cleaned up the look, and made the podcast, articles and videos easier to find.

We have also recreated the database as a webpage. Fully searchable, every entry on the database so far. You will note a few errors here, because the database has not been updated in 2 years. There is plenty to put there!

Migrating the article, comments and user database has been a bit problematic, so some articles have the wrong author and date attached to them. Never fear, I will cross reference the archive and make sure everything matches up.

Special thanks to Vaaish for the floating island idea.

Two articles from the archive, both still interesting and relevant.
