what even is this? is it just lebeny that doesn't have content? how the hell do you put a fade to black scene in a porn game?
Make sure you have adult content enabled in the options, and make sure you are playing the Patreon version of the game. You should see it on the top left bar of the screen. <3 (The version uploaded here is an outdated Patreon version)

Hello.

The summary, samples and tags made me come. And I wasn't expecting the game to be this good.

The worldbuilding is fantastic.
There are several and different characters.
The plot is really interesting.
The art is very well done.

Though the story is heavy, I couldn't stop playing this game.
The prologue was very sad. I wished we could have done more but the choices didn't influence the flow of the scenario there.
The episode 3 was dark. I had the impression that, outside interacting with the crew, we couldn't help at all.
The character creation is good though some choices aren't that clear (for example, I've chosen blue eyes but, when I had to precise further, I didn't know what "regular blue" or "spotted blue" are supposed to look like). The avatars are plenty and diverse though the men are almost similar. A little surprised that, even though we're supposed to be trained, there are several decisions about fears and insecurity. Even submissiveness outside relationship seemed dangerous for what our role was supposed to be. I've chosen to be an "Alieu" because I wanted to appease the crew but it seemed ineffective seing how angry at me some characters were, which made me wonder the influence of our class and characteristics.

I was taken aback by that question. What does age even mean for a Mah'abeu? Are there restrictions, consequences, specifities, etc. related to age?
Does the prized possession matter outside being hidden in our room?
There are many choices to take, though I felt limited when there was only 2 choices :
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The romance is unbalanced depending on the character. There's plenty for Khalil, some for Lebeny, Kiaria or Lochem but nothing for Mayvheen, Veera, Reyna, Matthias or captain Malone. Moreover, Mayvheen and Veera nearly disappear after the prologue.
The sex scene with Khalil was strange. Seing his avatar flicker was disturbing. The bottom is hidden behind the dialog box and it took me some time to realize we could see his dick.

There should be a way to consult our relationships with every character encountered to know if our answers are leading to the result we want (Does being flirty immediately accelerate the romance? Does being rude prevent romance? Can we make slow burn relationships? Is the NPC even interested in us? etc...).

I didn't try every choice so maybe what I'm saying isn't totally accurate but that's what I felt after playing. I've read the thread too but, if what I asked has already been answered, I'm sorry for not remembering it.

Good continuation.
::scribbles down and makes notes::

It's very much still a work in progress, but I'm glad you've liked it so far.
Right now we're busy (and almost done) with concluding Episode 3, which adds roughly another hour of gameplay if you were to take all the options. The majority of this is time is focused on Lochem's intimate scene.

We'll add more romance options in the next episode, and the end goal is to have all the characters be romanceable. (Yes, it includes the much requested tentacle swooning)

Thanks for your feedback, I'll definitely circle back and add more options. Without addressing all your concerns point by point, I will say that feedback like this is very helpful! <3

I enjoyed the heck out of this but wow do I ever hate that it left off where it does :ROFLMAO:
Neither, it's still being actively developed. <3 You can give the Patreon page a follow (without pledging if you aren't ready to support the development yet) to see weekly updates.

DEVLOG 2023-02-17

Friday!! Yay! FriDAY! FriDAY!

As always, on the personal side, all has been well. The little one is healthy and growing and it's surreal to think that we'll have a new family member in a couple of months! <3 Power outages are still a thing, and they will continue to be a thing for at least another year if not longer, but life is life, and I'm still privileged enough to have a roof over my head, and a laptop with a battery that generally lasts throughout the outages, which is more than most people can say.

On to the main feature, Infinite Stars!

We've been struggling to get the optimised version of the new expressions working via the code, and as of earlier today, we had a breakthrough! It's working! With the blinking animation! Soon the whole crew will be blinking idly at you while you read their dialogue. It's not a huge thing, but it makes a difference. Just like the mid-sentence expression changes (which are a pain to script, by the way!), it makes the characters feel a little more alive. Special shout-out to Trix who has been amazing during this whole process!

It took way longer to implement than I thought it would, but now that it's in, we can continue scripting!

Lochem's scene is coded, as is the continuation after the cliffhanger, and all the side branches for the different love interests. All that still needs to be done is assigning the actual facial expressions.

The new crew member sprites are in various stages of being implemented, and now that the new expression system is working, they should all be in the game by end of next week. (By the way, I've uploaded some new emoticons of all the new sprites on if you wanted to steal a sneak peek at the new crew faces!)

I know some of you are reading this and thinking "Cool!" before clicking away, but I'd like to put what we've done into context. When I launched Infinite Stars, we had a total of 6 expressions for each character. Later, we changed that to 9 expressions for each character. , where split the mouth and eyes of each character, allowing us to create 81 different expressions. By splitting the eyes and eyebrows for all the human characters, we've now upped the 81 expressions to 810 different expressions, not including the blush layer. (The characters can blush, which actually makes it 1620 different expressions each, but I feel that's cheating a bit, even if it's technically true. Also, some characters have an additional wink layer, which again ups the 1620 layers to... you get the idea.)

I've included a VERY large reference image of Katya's new expressions for you to browse through all the nuanced emotions she can now display. It's not perfect, and some expressions might still change, but here it is! (Another shout-out, this time to Odikeraz who created these images to help me reference/code the expressions faster!)

(EDIT: Image is too big to upload to F95Zone, But you can see the image in all its glory over on itchio)

Lastly, I don't do a call to action like this very often, but if you want to enable me to create even more cool stuff for Infinite Stars and Draegan Herald, I realise $3 or $12 can be a lot of money, depending on where you are in the world, but even a custom recurring pledge of $1 adds up over a few months. I love pushing the boundaries of what Infinite Stars can be, and with your help, the potential is truly infinite!

Have fun, stay safe and enjoy your weekend!

Honestly, stories really well done. Did very much enjoy being the power bottom for Doc, in her own lewdy ways. Looking forward for more fun times with her and the other girls. Hope she is into sharing cause I may have a thing for Loc's Sister and her marine bestie.

Eagerly waiting to see how the other romances play out. Don't get me wrong, I feel like Doc is my current favorite at the moment: love her aggressiveness and firey passion, plus she's a hell of a top. And Flower Girl ain't too bad as well for a bottom. Strong game that one has. Hooking up with Marine Dolls is gonna be likely the a lot of grappling, swearing, fighting for dominace. Meanwhile I bet Loc's Sis will be wonderful to swoon. Would be odd if we hooked up with both...

So the steam and itch versions are censored?

They are censored with a fade to black, yes. The Patreon (and the pirate version on F95Zone isn't censored). It wasn't an easy decision, but unfortuanately adult content does limit my options when it comes to visibility. I hope you understand. <3

Another Friday. (It's crazy how fast the weeks fly by when you use something like weekly devlogs to mark the rollover occasion.)

All things considered, I'm well, and I hope the same for all of you.

I've been working my butt off (Almost literally, I think I need a new chair to work from) to get the next release ready, and it looks like we should have a Beta Test version ready by next week Friday.

Storywise, we've added Lochem's long-awaited intimate content. (Around 8K words), as well as a follow-up scene for Lebeny, Kiaria, Khalil and another hidden one. (Around 1K words each). We've also added the first of many true friendship routes for Lochem (Another 1k words - thanks to all of you who pointed out the lacking content for friendship routes). And then there is the episode wrap-up! (Another 3.5K words). Lastly, I've started to add some other feedback changes to the story, like the ones suggested by Nibblatious on Steam. This will be an ongoing process.

Artwise, we've added the new sprites for 16 characters. There might still be some weird expression issues in the older content, so if you come across anything, let me know so we can fix them! Tae has already started working on the new characters for Episode 4.

Engineering Example.png

Background-wise, Stoffies, has steadily been pumping out new (and replacement) backgrounds, and some of you might even have caught one of his streams and watched along while he drew.

Trix has been invaluable in helping me speed up the dev progress, and she's the reason why I'm able to have the Beta Version nearly ready for all of you.

What's next?
Episode 4, which I've already started writing. But first, player-made mods and content, and a taste of the free-form ship exploration!

Navigation Example.png

Still a work in progress, but you can probably spot a few new locations.

A final shout-out to each and every one of my patrons and followers. None of this would be possible without you, and I love all of you to bits! Thanks for being there and for giving me a reason to continue creating Infinite Stars.
Have a fantastic, peaceful weekend!

Sounds like sandbox nonsense. More interested in seeing the story and character relationships progress instead of clicking on empty rooms in search for content.

It's actually pretty linear imo with some good choices that change how the story progresses and the map is pretty much part of those choices, ie which person/location takes priority today order seems to matter too. This game has no grinding and is all narrative and is thankfully better off for it

Good story and choice effect so far i think.
It can call sandbox when there many choice and stat for show which our action have made development to character.

Excited to play!
