VN Ren'Py Infinite Stars [v1.0425.0320] [Wraiith303]

New dev update:

Hi, it's Friday!


I've been quiet this month, mostly because it's been a busy one. I had a birthday, a wedding anniversary, and some MANDATORY leave (I had to sneak out and type up this devlog in secret. ::quiet typing:: If this devlog is only half-typed and stops mid-sentence, it's because my partner walked in on me! Shhh!)


Not a lot to report. We're busy with Syndicate stuff, gearing up for the planned release of next month (It's going to be touch and go, we can still get it done for next month, but I don't want to force anyone to crunch to make it happen.)


On the Infinite Stars front, we're working on some smaller scenes to add to the existing game. We're also working on some accessibility enhancements, as requested by some visually impaired fans, to help make the self-voicing option work in the main menu, etc. And Tae has been drawing some additional character outfits.


If you are on the Captain, Admiral or Architect (no-one, yet) tier, please reach out to me on Discord so we can get your custom crew outfit done. If you don't, I'll reach out to you soonish, as soon as I get a gap, probably the week after next!


The Android version of the game is also VERY high on our priority list, and we are hoping to have that, along with the accessibility patches, be available the week after next week. Possibly sooner, depending on if I can wiggle out of my mandatory leave.


I'll also post the new crew pinups as soon as I can!


Have a fantastic weekend. Thanks for your amazing support and kindness! I hope you all– Oh snap! Someone is coming!

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to see more new things for Infinite Stars. I really enjoy your work so far~

Phew! It's Friday! (Sort of. Sorry this one is later than usual, I had to get up super early to get it done.)

Still hacking away at my backlog, but making progress!

We 're working on another, really cool portrait which I can't tease yet, and, thanks to our patrons, several new crew outfits that I can tease!

The pool of available outfits for the crew is growing quite nicely, and you'll have a solid wardrobe of options for them once the outfit selector is polished and implemented.

In the meantime, I think I've isolated the issue with the mobile build!! (Yay!) But will report back soon.

A large majority of time also went towards migrating all our Infinite Stars dev data (All the builds, the dev assets like the full scale layered sprites, backgrounds etc and other data) are being moved over to a different Google account to future proof and ensure business continuity. It's a much larger project than I anticipated. (It's also not made easier with Google intentionally blocking gmail accounts from 'transferring ownership' of existing data to Google Workspace accounts. Silly, I know.)

Other news, we/I survived a super crazy month of family and business happenings. The month isn't over yet, but I'm definitely feeling like I can start breathing again.

(Ooh! I also have some fantastic crew pinups to share soon! So keep an eye out for those!)

Have a great rest of your weekend, thanks for being amazing humans, and keep being kind to those around you. <3

Happy NOT-Friday devlog everyone!

Mostly a housekeeping one this time.

The most important progress is finally getting the

! What a mission, but it will be much smoother in the future.

Also, I mentioned the migration last time and I've managed to migrate all the devbuilds from the older cloud storage to the newer cloud storage for business continuity reasons. That's finally done and signed off. The latest links to the Patron builds have been updated, both MAC/PC/Linux AND Android and the posts with links to the older builds will stop working in the next few weeks. If you need access to a specific older build that isn't available anymore for whatever weird reason, let me know, and I'll happily share them.

We have

's NSFW pinups ready, and more will be following soon as we run through our backlog.

If you're a Captain or higher tier patron, you should have a message from me on Discord. As a bonus, you're being asked to design ANOTHER outfit for a crew member of your choice (even if you've already designed one!) I know the reward tiers are for once a quarter, and I can't promise we'll continue doing so every month, but for the time being– yay!

Also, if you aren't on the Captain+ tier and have been considering upgrading,

I hope you have a productive week! Stay safe and be kind to others!

NOT a devlog, devlog 2025-06-26

An hour ago

Hey all.

Apologies for missing a few weekly devlogs. Usually, that only means that we're cracking on with our heads in the trenches. This time, though, I haven't been doing so well.

I've shied away from sharing too much personal stuff with all of you, but it's been a tough few weeks. (I know some of you are also having a really tough(er) time, and you're in my thoughts! It's a scary world right now.) Without going into specifics, I have a lot of sick close loved ones; some are hospitalised for the next few weeks, some are already recovering, and others (my partner and the little one) are only starting to get sick. Add extraordinary work stress, extraordinary expenses and almost half our regular sleep for weeks on end, and yeah.

I'm not doing so great mentally. It'll change. We'll do better again soon. Just wanted to let you all know what's been going on.

We'll have some new pinups ready to share soon, and we have some really great-looking crew outfits being done right now.

I hope you're all having a productive week. Stay safe and be kind to each other. <3

Hey hey. It's Friday.

Thanks for all the love and support. Promptly after my last devlog, I also fell sick, but I've mostly recovered, except for my voice, which is still sometimes barely a hoarse whisper. The situation is still hectic, with some improvements and some new setbacks, but I feel like I'm starting to cope a bit better with the new reality.

I'm hoping things will continue to improve, but without being pessimistic, the reality is that the storm hasn't reached its apex yet, so things will continue for a while before it starts getting better.

All that said, I've come to the realisation that the only thing I can do is throw myself into my work. I've been writing again this week, mostly on silly side projects, but it feels good getting back into the driver's seat.

Project Syndicate has been making progress, but it was starting to feel like a very generic and average story. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not the type of story I like to tell, so I've been working closely with the team over the last week to make some adjustments. The good news is the game will hopefully/probably be better for it, but it also means we are now saddled with a bit of scope creep.

We're also planning to start working on the next content batch for Thalassaphilia, making some minor changes to the existing content to be better in line with the original vision, before continuing with the next batch of content.

And perhaps the most important, Infinite Stars. I've been continuing to work on a small update, adding the new user portraits and stuff like that. Grace has also been working on some of Tabitha's scenes in the meantime. As I continue throwing myself into work and checking off small victories for Syndicate and Thalassaphilia, my full attention will shift back to Infinite Stars and the continuation of the Episode. Luckily, we have a big chunk of it already written from the earlier overwrite, and we'll have a bunch of outfits ready to go with the new outfit system, thanks to some of our Patrons <3

I've been promising a new Pinup, so here it is, Reyna. As a special treat, if you're a patron, you can also see the sped-up recording of how Franco drew her after digitising his pen-and-paper sketch in our #patron_lounge on Discord. (Let me know if you like these videos, and we'll try to do more of them!)

Be safe, and be kind.

Got 2 questions.....

#1:- is there any planned futa/trans/femboy characters in the works?

#2:- is there any plans for possible sex scenes between the MC and the Cephilhusks? Mainly the female ones?

I love this games potential and am looking forward for more.

I am not the dev, but no. 2 was confirmed already.

Another Friday!

I've started shifting my attention back to Infinite Stars, and Stoffies and I have been pouring almost all of our time into it the last few days.
I'll share some teasers of what we've been working on:

You might have noticed how empty MC's personal quarters are, with nothing on the shelves. This has always been intentional because we knew at some point, your room would start changing, based on the choices you've made in the game.

We're also working on adding little postcards and photos of your LI's that will hang on MC's wall when you enter your room.

On the story side, we have about 3 freeroam events that need to be added, already written and ready to be coded (Reyna, Matthias and Tabitha), and I'd like to add another 2-3 scenes, we're thinking Veera's second intimate scene and some others. Please let me know if there is anything you feel we absolutely should add.

(Also, a new room being added to the Tabitha!)

Project Syndicate is still coming along, despite some hiccups that are being handled.

On a personal level, things are still the same, and they'll continue as is until they don't. The only thing that has changed is how we're coping with it, which is much better. I feel like we're reaching our 'new normal'.

I hope you're all safe, prosperous and productive in your own lives! Until next time.

It's Friday! The weeks keep on rushing by like they're trying to get to Xmas or something.

I've got good news, and then some not-so-good news. I'm sure most of you have noticed the whole Visa/Mastercard/Collective Shout thing with NSFW content creators and games being removed from Steam and itchio over the past week.

The not-so-good news is that even though we've been making good progress on Project Syndicate, it's a pure nsfw game. With the current political climate, we're going to hold off on publishing anything for now. I'd much rather wait a bit to see which way the wind blows, and launch later than launching and having the game delisted and losing out on the critical 'new project' visibility boosts. We're taking a breath and hoping that common sense will prevail so things can return to normal.

The good news is that this frees us up to focus on other projects, with Infinite Stars being the top priority. That means we'll have some new playable content for you to experience much sooner than originally anticipated.

I briefly mentioned some of the character scenes last week, and I'd like to share what I've been working on this week. For one, Raymond's first very kinky intimate scene. Thus far, all the LI's accept your advances, no matter who you are or what your preferences are. Raymond is a bit different. He has very specific tastes, and after some serious discussion, we decided it would lessen the narrative impact if we were to write him in a way where his preferences didn't matter. I know it's all very cryptic right now, and it probably sounds more ominous than it is. I promise it will all make sense once your Mah'Abeu gets to the scene in question.

Another thing I'm excited about is something new I've been working on for Infinite Stars. We've always wanted to add these little side stories that have no bearing on the main storyline, similar to what we have with the relationship arcs. I've been working on the first of these self-contained story arcs, and I'm curious to see how it will be received. They should, in theory, make the world feel more alive while allowing me to share more of the lore and worldbuilding in a casual, natural manner.

All in all, despite it all, it's been a very productive week.

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend, get some rest, and get to spend some time with loved ones. As always, be safe and be kind. <3

Happy Friday!

Crazy hectic week, work-related, with sooo many missed deadlines, but you can only do what you can do in a week.

I still managed to sneak away to write here and there. I mentioned last time that we are starting to implement these self-contained story arcs, and have come to the realisation that we'll need more random crew members to tell these stories.

We're going to be opening up their designs to you, the community. You'll be designing the character briefs, their looks, body types, mannerisms, outfits, all of it. We are looking at starting with 10 new crew members. The intent isn't for these characters to become LI's, but if it were to happen in a natural way, we wouldn't rule it out.

So, with that out of the way, if this sounds like fun,

, and we'll include you! This invite is open to all fans of Infinite Stars, regardless of your Patron status.

We've also continued planning for the next batch of

content, which we want to release for the Spooktober game jam. We're super excited for this!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Again, just a reminder, us being quiet doesn't mean things aren't happening in the background!

The Thalassaphilia team are chipping away at the Spooktober release, with new poses being added to the game to comply with the jam guidelines.

Also, if you're keen on designing a Tabitha crew member, we'll be closing our applications next week, so if you were planning to apply, this is your last chance to do so.

I've continued working on the smaller dynamic scenes for Infinite Stars, and continued to polish some of the upcoming content for the main story continuation. I've also been working on another Khalil intimate scene.

Lastly, we have a few pinups ready to release, but wanted to check with all of you about who you wanted to see first. Click that poll and tell us!

Enjoy your weekend! Be safe, be kind and remember to relax a little if your schedule allows for it! <3 Love you all.

So I'm not sure where to ask, but I can't find the thread for Andromeda Six. Is it deleted or something?

And how's the update for this game?

 

[Gildor72]

Just discovered this VN about a week ago, it's surprisingly pretty good! I've only gotten to the first romance scene but it was written quite well. And honestly I'm just enjoying the story, the characters aren't tropey like I had initially expected. And it's a neat setting

Yeah, the narration is really good imho. Not only "good for a porn game".

The dev is a cool dude as well but unfortunately has a bit of a hard time at the moment due to family health issues. Updates used to come quiet frequent and where reasonably sized.

So all we can do atm is that those health issues will get resolved and the dev can carry on as before.

Fingers crossed.

Hey everyone!

We're at Icon 2025 right now, South Africa's oldest and longest-running games and comic convention (It's @ Fourways Mall if you're in the area and want to pop in! Maybe snag a discounted Patreon membership while you're here.)

We'll be here the whole weekend telling people about the Infinite Stars universe. (We're also selling some limited-run merchandise while we're here.)

Other than that, if you applied for the collaborative 'design a character' thingy and haven't heard from us, don't stress. We've been swamped running around and prepping for Icon, with all of our attention focused on that. We'll shift back to our regular schedule from next week.

This is a short and sweet proof of life devlog. Excited to share more soon!

Have a fantastic weekend, be safe and be kind. <3

Happy Friday!

We're now solidly in the first stretch of the 'end of the year rush' with most of my business meetings asking me 'So what are your plans for next year?' and some of the stores around here have already started putting their Christmas decorations up for sale.

We also had our annual Brickfair last weekend, the largest Lego expo in South Africa and probably Africa as a whole. (I'll post some pictures on the devlife channel in Discord of my favourite builds!)

We've started prepping for rAge, the South African gaming expo, in early December. ICON was a great safe practice run to see what works and what doesn't, so we're excited to put out theories to the test. (As a side note, we've also reached out to ComicCon in the US for next year. It's a long shot, but maybe I'll get to meet some more of you! I would love for it to work out!)

Enough about the boring stuff, and over to why you are actually here! Infinite Stars!

We keep making progress on the next batch of story content, and as I've mentioned, we also started working on some smaller side stories. All the questions about 'what are your plans for next year' also made me think about what our plans are for Infinite Stars. I have a ton of ideas, but I'll want your input to validate them instead of rushing off in a direction I think everyone wants, so expect several polls soon. The first of these many polls will be the content releases. Right now, we aim to release 2-4 bigger story updates each year, but I can't help wondering if we should focus on more minor, monthly updates with side stories, extra intimate scenes, and regular slice-of-life content while we work on the main story in the background. I'd love to do the same with the larger story content, but sometimes it isn't possible. (Like right now, the next batch of story content will take place off-ship, and we need to get it to a point where the player returns to the ship before we can release it, so you aren't stuck mid-story with nothing to do until the story continues. If you're back at the ship, you can always continue exploring the intimate scenes and other side-story content.)

Let me know what you prefer in the poll!
