The asteroids are, however the nebula space image was a conversion of a 2D image to a HDRI background following an AI upscale. Have six customised high resolution space HDRI's that IMHO are better than any of the space HDRI's available on the DAZ store. Have transitioned into the image generation phase of game development.
set to modern time if i remember right, medieval and space assets pale compared modern time assets.
Stellar Crossroads is currently in development. It is set in the Orion Sector, however 150 years in the future. I have elected to go with completely new characters as the stories for the ones in Callisto have largely been told. Game is intended to give the player increased freedom, as the story will be less linear. Increased knowledge of game design and coding should make this possible. Will be a central story arc, however you can potentially end up on different sides of the main events.
Procuring assets for a game can be a considerable expense. Hence moving to another genre is not only a change in focus but a significant investment. Also my knowledge and interest lies more with sci-fi than in other genres.
I am helping to gather music for Xavster's next title now. It is set in the same universe as Callisto, 150 years after the Hive war. Much has changed in those 150 years. The heroes of Callisto have faded to legend and a new cast inhabits this new game called Stellar Crossroads. Xavster released a few images on discord. It's a way for fans to have some input into the process of developing this new title. At present, I am uncertain what I can or cannot share here as I have dev team access to all the files. So, check out Xavster's discord for more info and share an opinion on how things are going and what you might like to see. Chapter one is forthcoming soon. I'll leave the details for Xav to share...
you think you are ready.
Where is that ver 5 of the walkthrough? I haven't found a single post with a link to it and the main page points to ver 3.
I uploaded Ver 5 to this thread some time ago but it did not get included in the front page, I'm sad to say.
Definitely seeing the edge as you put it...the eyes. Again unique and fresh. Kudos Xavster. Hopefully he's not built too much like a tank but not a beta wimp either.
Suggestion that Xavster do some character cards...something like this but without the background. This could be included in the game and probably seen in a gallery at the start.Not Superman and no soy boy; not Einstein but not a total shithead either. He shares characteristics of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian and Mal Reynolds (Firefly/Serenity.) Choices will matter here too, possibly even more than in Callisto, with three main story paths to follow. Choices have a direct affect on the MC and crew relationships as well. MC has one such story branch already in chapter one with four choices of how to deal with the pirates as seen in the spoiler image you posted earlier.
Meet Krog, ace engineer and mechanic...

Krog is a salty old dog, quick to criticize with a sharp wit full of "colorful" language. But, he has his good points too. There's a good bit more to Krog than scowls and barks. He's even caught smiling at times... briefly...

Of the choices to deal with the pirates... I like the one that makes Krog smile the best. It's a non-violent solution yet a bit of a dirty trick...
One of the choices is rather chaotic and nefarious yet rather effective and lethal... Reminds me of something Marv said in Sin City... "I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad." The creative choice is the one that makes Krog and the MC share a smile. The other two... Nope! Not going there in my play... One word of advice... never negotiate with terrorists or pirates! Hahaha
There will be plenty of lovely ladies and sexy good times as the story progresses. However, the story is the main focus, even more so than in Callisto. Whichever path you choose... buckle up and knuckle up for a wild ride!!!
Adventure ever on my friend, Phat
Great idea! IDK if Xav will go for it but I can certainly put it up for consideration.
