It's Friday.
I'm working from a coffee shop today because of reasons.
We're at that weird development stage where lots is happening, without being able to share anything interesting about it. So today will focus briefly on what I've been busy with, and then we'll look at a few upcoming things that I'm excited about!
We've made some progress with enhancing the story controller running in the background. I honestly can't thank Trix enough for all of her help. She's been amazing. So has Tae with the character artwork, and Stoffies with the backgrounds.
I've been working on several scenes at once. The new story controller is going to pay off in spades! Some scenes you can look forward to down the line: (Spoilers ahead so maybe just skip over the italicised paragraph if you prefer surprises.)
I've been working on some dinner dates with Lebeny (plural) and I also started writing a second intimate scene between your Mah'Abeu and Lebeny. Raymond reads some children stories for the camera recorder so Lunar Command can use it for propaganda back home. There's a scene where your Mah'Abeu walks in on Matthias while he is busy painting his starship figurines, and another scene with Matthias where he draws your Mah'Abeu (either your portrait as friends, or nude as more than friends.) There are several other scenes also in various stages of completion ranging from idea to first draft.
Spoilers are done from here. Yay.
Now, for some of the stuff that I'm excited about! Tae has increased her availability to me, and we're working on a few surprises, mostly related to animations during the intimate scenes. I know, but wait– I don't want to oversell/overhype all of you, so rather don't expect too much! I'd much prefer to exceed your expectations, so if they're low, you'll be helping me out!
There was a Discord poll about the possibility of having your portrait picture show up during dialogue when your Mah'Abeu talks. The portrait will be static without changing facial expressions for technical reasons, but even so, it seems like the majority of you would like this, so I'm working on that. I'll also try to include an option where your Mah'Abeu's portrait doesn't show while talking for those of you who like the current implementation.
While my focus has been on the dynamic story content, Tae and Stoffies have been working hard to bring more minor animations into the game (Like the moving stars background with the Observatory and the Corridor redraw.) The biggest constraint is still budget, but I feel I've been able to stretch the available monthly funds quite responsibly. (As a side note, 100% of the Patreon funds have been going straight back into tools and assets to further improve Infinite Stars. I'm no longer using my savings to fund the project which is fantastic, all thanks to my patrons! Even those on the smallest tier help tremendously!)
On that note, here is a teaser of two new characters your Mah'Abeu will meet further down the line, with
There are a few other surprises planned, but I don't want to reveal them all at once.
I'm also considering hosting a live workshop for those of you that are interested in creating your own stories for Infinite Stars, where we'll work on our mods together on a live stream, and you can ask any questions and get help with the implementation. If you're keen on this, let me know in the comments/
Have a fantastic weekend, practise gratitude and be kind to those around you! Oh, and don't forget to have some fun! <3

Y know what? Author profile make me shiver i mean, if we don't take care of cat in game. I feel like I'm having NPC Chasing me down the hall for bully author lol
Meh, i feel like this game would come out fully or near completion exactly around ravager public release.
I'm always got this signal feeling, really wonder how amazing game would end up.
(Noted if author doesn't follow berserk author first) no curse just concerned ~

It's Friday! ::shoulder wiggle::
I've been continuing to write dynamic content and working on the scenes I mentioned in last week's Devlog. (It had some very cool teasers about the two new Cephilusk Characters)
A small teaser from one of the snippets I've been working on:
Tae has also been working on some new player portraits that we'll be adding to the game, and she has redrawn Kiaria's sprite to make her look more like the original Kiaria all of you love and adore. We sadly missed the deadline to have the new Kiaria in today's release, but you'll see her in action from next week!
Stoffies has continued to work on updating the older backgrounds, and he is still busy with the Drop-Drone redraw (with bonus modularity!)
Our studio (IF THEN ELSE Interactive Fiction) has been growing slowly, and we've been adding a ton of new character sprites for our fellow indie devs to use in their own game.
I'm off to do some more writing, but I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend. Stay safe, be kind and dare yourself to try something new! Love all of you! <3

There are games that have sandbox elements that work really well. It's just that 99% of sandbox games are completely ruined by it. VNs where the dev takes extra time to develop sandbox elements almost always got cancelled. And the last update was 5 months ago

It's Friday!
I'm technically on leave from yesterday until Tuesday, but I've slipped away to put some time in to get the build ready for today!
It's mostly additional graphics and the odd bug fix. We added some more awesome portraits to the game (You have all the
These portraits are now showing up during dialogue scenes whenever your MC speaks. The expressions are static and don't change. I don't have any plans to change this right now, but perhaps we can revisit the idea down the line.
We also added the new animated personal quarters to the game, with additional colour variations for different NPC's (You can see some of them at the start of Episode 2, with the distinction between Veera and Mayvheen's rooms, depending on which choices you made during Episode 1)
(If your Mah'Abeu is a tidy person, they'll make their bed in the mornings.)
I've been putting some contingencies in place for next month, (I'll probably be taking a few weeks off when my daughter is born.) From May, Tae will be drawing a few more extra characters for us every month, and you can also look forward to the very first pin-up design!
We're also starting our
To make up for my taking a break, (I'll still be around probably, just less consistently, for shorter amounts of time, and weirder hours), I've been searching for additional writers. It's been a tiresome process, but with the final round of interviews finishing up next week, I'm starting to see some progress. The intention is to have the additional writers stick around so I can add more content on a consistent schedule. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to add an additional 10-20K+ words of content each month if not more, so stick around!
I love all of you to bits, and none of this would be possible without YOU. <3

So went through the art in the game to see if it was worth playing, and after almost 3 years theres no art for the sex scenes which supposedly exist according to the vaginal sex tag? Why doesnt the thread have a text based tag? Don't even know how they would even begin to approach the art even if they wanted to tbh. Sometimes less is more.

Text-based is only given to games with around 80+% text—which this game is obviously not. Check out HTML games if you want to know what text-based games actually look like.
