The Trese Brothers Strategy

As indie game developers the Trese's have built much of their stellar rep on fair pricing models and responsible monetization strategies.

The Bros are excited to release a new Hyperion Ship Skin Pack for Star Traders 4X Empires, that continues that honorable tradition.

In a market clogged with pay-to-win apps, pay-to-play-now, and ad-driven revenue, The Trese Brothers have always taken a stance to make games for gamers - and that includes the chosen monetization strategies.

They basically never run ads, never sell consumable IAP, and they refuse to go anywhere near pay-to-win models.

The Star Traders new Ship Skin pack is a new type of monetization we haven’t tried before, but one that is well used within the industry -- a completely cosmetic IAP.

For just $1 you can choose from among 20 new ship skins for your 5 different types of hulls in your fleet - Fighters, Cruisers, Transports, Carriers, Strike Cruisers and Heavy Transports.

Some Words From The Bros....

"The turn-based galactic empire-builder Star Traders 4X Empires has just added a massive new expansion with the Hyperion Ship Pack.

Now, your mighty empire can order the construction of all new Hyperion ship designs, harkening back to the time before the great Exodus.

The 16 new ship designs add to the existing 24 designs bringing the total number of ship skins in the game to 40.

With such variety at your fingertips you can customize your fleet with new depth, visually differentiating each lineage of ship design.

As your empire grows, you will continue to unlock new technologies and hundreds of ship components, weapons and armors become available.

Advances in military science mean your fleet is in a constant state of redesign and upgrade.

As you build your fleet strategy, you’ll identify ship designs that fill the different roles within your battle lines - fast fighters, ultra-heavier carriers to support them, and cruisers to provide the devastating hypersonic torpedo fire.

The new Hyperion ship skins allow you to set the skin used for each different ship design, generation and battlefield role.

The Hyperion Ship Skin Pack includes:

4 new skins for light and agile fighters
4 new skins for torpedo boats, heavy gun boats and cruisers
4 new skins for scouts, colony hives, and transports
4 new skins for ultra-heavy carriers and refueling barges
4 new skins for crushing might of single-weapon Strike Cruisers and Hyperion Heavy Transports
