Hey, given that we had one of the largest, involuntary downtimes two days ago, I thought a proper post going into the details of the incident was in order. TLDR: due to an oversight we ran out of disk space and lost some data.

You might have missed it, but the lore history of Prosperous Universe begins with an asteroid colliding with Earth, prompting humanity to go out and search for a new home. As a result, it has become our duty to chime in on June 30th when the world celebrates Asteroid Day. As the official website sta...

The day is finally upon us, and Prosperous Universe has finally found its way to Steam. The Steam project was decided at the end of last year, and after months of careful plotting and planning, we have reached our goal during the first half of 2022. Thank you all for your patience and support during...

In the spirit of inspiring and challenging our loyal licensees, we decided to introduce a community activity for those that want to take on a little something extra.

As our prosperous community continues to grow and evolve, it has become apparent that we need more eyes on our Discord channel as well as in the forum since the team is unable to follow many of the conversations that develop. We want to especially thank the player that initially posted this idea on ...

In case you were unaware, the background history of Prosperous Universe begins with an asteroid destroying the cradle of humanity. Therefore, it seems incredibly appropriate that we chime in on June 30th when the world celebrates Asteroid Day. As the official website states, Asteroid Day is "the Uni...

Prosperous Universe has been in development for 4 years, and while the support from the community with supporter packages has been highly appreciated and has helped us tremendously, it unfortunately is not a viable long-term sustainable model. The funding for the game runs out next year; hence, a sw...

Economics is not like other fields of science. Chemists and biologists have the luxury of being able to perform experiments in a laboratory and seeing if their theories are substantiated or not. Economists cannot perform experiments without potentially creating disastrous consequences leading to une...

Dear licencees, just wanted to make you aware of the maintenance release that went live today. We focused on fixing issues and bugs that originated from the Populous release, but managed to include some unrelated changes and fixes as well.

Let’s imagine for a moment that the time has come for humanity to leave Earth and establish a home elsewhere. In this hypothetical situation we not only have the technology to colonize one planet but multiple planets across the galaxy. But how would this actually work? How would humans transform mas...

Hey everyone, just wanted to make you aware of the maintenance release that went out April 22, 2020. This release is focused on facilitating a more streamlined experience for new players that join the game. Here are some of the key features for this update.

Dear licensees, As you may know, I decided to leave simulogics a few months ago. I stuck around for as long as it took us to find a replacement, and today I'm both sad and happy to announce that Nick has officially taken over for me this week. However, before I pass the torch, I'd like to say a few...

Dear licensees, in December of 2018, Prosperous Universe launched into a closed alpha state we call First Access. Since then, we have been constantly at work to improve the game and add new features. We did so in cooperation with a small but wonderful community of dedicated players who kept on play...

Dear licensees, get ready for a massively upgraded Prosperous Universe! A brand new world has been started this morning, and you are cordially invited to see for yourself how much has happened since the beginning of First Access. Join now to get a head start on the competition!

Today is the day: After more than three years of development Prosperous Universe is finally open to the general public. All you need to do to get started is to create an account and become a First Access Licensee!

As an independent developer of business simulation MMOs, simulogics has been around for more than a decade. But the planned release of Prosperous Universe in 2018 means a big step for us: We are expanding! Therefore we are looking for someone to bring our communications and community management game...

Hi there! Just like every year the indie gaming website IndieDB is arranging a game of the year contest! You can help us win and promote Prosperous Universe by voting for us! It's just a click away and you won't need to register or sign-up for anything! Thanks for helping us out!

Originally, we wanted to open our YouTube channel with a general introduction to the game. But when the closed alpha tests were about to start we decided to make a video about the game's UI the first one for practical reasons. Today we're finally doing the formal introduction: Martin is talking abou...

The story of Prosperous Universe begins with an asteroid destroying the cradle of humanity. As such it seems appropriate that we chime in when the world celebrates Asteroid Day. As the official website states, it's "a global day of education to help protect Earth from asteroids".

We are beyond excited to let you know that we have launched a brand-new website today. Besides looking far better than the previous one, it offers a lot more information about the game and, most importantly, comes with a discussion board. So we can finally say: Welcome to the community!

After a week spent out of office we felt like a regular issue of our usual development log wouldn't make too much sense. Instead, we want to give you a brief outlook on what's ahead for Prosperous Universe in 2017.

Today is Asteroid Day! It's basically a yearly, global awareness campaign to discuss the dangers that asteroids pose to our planet and civilization.

We are happy to announce that our new website went online today.
