Development dates back to 2006 (at least), and it was one of the first space 4X games we covered on the site, with an <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/interview-with-horizon-designer-and-producer-raffi-parsekhian\/\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with the main developer back in 2010.
