He said September but not a day, so I imagine around late September unless delays.

Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well.
There's a lot to cover, so I won't bury the lede. Good news first, then the "darn."
Day 20's release date is September 22nd.
Day 20 won't have any Elysium content.
The reasons for why it won't have any Elysium content will be further down below, I just wanted to announce it early as not to mislead anyone before September begins.
Here are some stats about Day 20:
• Most scenes of any update
• Most renders of any update
• Most sex scenes and animations of any update
• Most writing of any update
With considerations made for Day 20's laptop session (compared to Day 19pt2 not having one), this update will be the biggest content release for Stranded in Space ever, and that's without any Elysium content.
Needless to say, Day 20 is a huge update. I hope you guys have separate saves for all the unique scenes experienced from Major Decisions.
Though it may seem early, I want to talk about post Day 20, as I have a huge patch planned, and it's also why I'm holding off on the Elysium content for Day 20.
The release date and actual content of the post Day 20 patch is TBD, though the goal is to have it out before 2025 ends. Here are the things that I'm hoping to implement:
• 3 Elysium scenes (will be playable in-story or from main menu)
• Writing improvements/consistency/editing for all days, but particularly Days 2-13
• Translations for Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French.
• Paige v1 visual rework, would maybe leave option to keep old design in preferences
• Add 2 sex scenes pre-Day 10. I won't detail them here, but it wouldn't be a true retcon, nor would it change the core story in any way. This would be for sex to non-sex content balance.
• Escape Room puzzle, logic, and game flow improvements + visuals reworked.
• Paige Trivia Battle minigame completely changed/redesigned
• Render reworks for a few select scenes pre-Day 10
• Animation reworks/improvements for various sex scenes, most of which are pre-Day 13
• Option to skip entire scenes with a small recap of what happened in said scene if chosen to skip. Due to Story & Major Decisions, this wouldn't be an option for every scene, but if there's a character you don't like or care about, you could skip at least some of their scenes.
I can probably explain some of the logic behind the notes above, but keep in mind I'm not guaranteeing all of this will make it to the planned post-Day 20 patch. In a perfect world, all of above will make it, but it's a lot of work to balance alongside creating Day 21, so we'll see.
And that's it from me.
Thanks to everyone that's been supporting here on Patreon during all these off months, it really means a lot to me. The wait is nearly over, and I know it will be worth it. Day 20 is the most important, craziest update ever for Stranded in Space.
I'll be seeing you on September 22nd!

Been a while since I played this one, can somebody help me out, and refresh my memory please.
What is “Elysium” again? Is that the planet we saw sometimes? Or is it that fucking strip club?

The the name of the planet but Elysium scenes refer to flashbacks regarding Vespera and the Aegis strip club.

Thank you both kindly. I can honestly say this is sounding like a banger update then NGL. Especially as I get to skip going back to that bloody place for at least one release.
Those stripclub scenes bore the absolute shit out of me...

Wooo good to see an update is coming soon on Steam. This is definitely in my top 15. Up to current content it already took me about 45 hours, which is a lot for a single playthrough in an AVN that is not a sandbox/management/grinding. To be honest I can think of maybe 2 or 3 other games that have the same amount of playtime for 1 playthrough that I played
I can't really decide who is my favorite LI in this game, most of them are great imo. Even if I need to pick 1, I really cannot decide between Umiko, Lira and Sasha.

Update this. Update that. I'll tell you what the real reward is...
THE DRONE OF COURSE!! iykyk. It's very clearly and obviously the key to the entire plot line, of course. MR dev man himself know how important it is. Each and every one(we see boxes of them in the egypt flashback) is equally important.
Half joking aside, im hyped asf for this update. It continues the trend of "biggest update yet" which I have a love-hate relationship with. I'm excited for the most content, but it takes a while longer. I have full faith wildman will cook once again. I trust him to deliver. However, if the drone blows up or i see another Major Decision that makes me stare at the screen for another 10 minutes thinking, i will be quite upset.
Please understand im 95% joking lol

THE YACHT CLUB IS HERE!!
As an aside, you list your top AVN's in your sig, but no BAD ?? Not judging, just curious. Is it because you haven't played it or just don't like it?

i'm sniffing some sort of rework curse here....why the hell dev waste time on reworking past days, instead of continue with the damn story?? we waited so much for a 1 day update...and after this he will waste time with some minor shit, like animation , dialogue,reworking renders?? bah...i love this game but it takes so much for an update and reading all this crap beinmg the goal of post day 20 is pissing me off..to see these "upgrade", i should restar t the game again?? no thanks
my thoughts exactly when i read the dev's "update/explanation". as long as I don't need to restart from the beginning, i guess i'm ok with it, because too much time spent getting to the current story (since 2021).
I thought about this for a few games and came to the realisation it's not always bad.
For long running games like this, things change and can get added all the time over years. The mid/end game is no longer what it began as. Quality of renders and writing can improve. One of the other games that did this relatively recently was Desert Stalker. The quality of the early renders was nothing like what it is now. So they redid the early renders and it looks much better. And they're more likely to keep new players of the game as it looks more recent and up to date.

Some people just see the word remake or rework and immediately get defensive because they've been disappointed before. Others go stirring the pot with it because they have nothing better to do.
With any rework, it's better to look at it from a case by case basis. For DS, it was a huge improvement. For others, not so much. Instead of just screaming into the void over it, better to wait, see how it develops, and react accordingly.
True. There are a few games that did remake stuff and it didn't work out. But AFAIK, this dev hasn't really done anything to deserve such skeptism about their own remake? (I would actually like to know if they have). Sure, they could be accussed of the usual milking that people claim about every game, but anything other than that?
In terms of this game, I would actually like to see some of these things, and I know others here would like them too. I've never really liked Paige v1 and would prefer the dev to remake all of v1's scenes with v2. I don't think that is likely but a man can dream. I know people here have complained about the mini games and escape room before. I think the rework of the trivia battle game is a good example of what I said earlier (when a game's scope creeps with time) - the number of days you have to remember for the trivia battle is just too much over ~20 days compared to 5-10.
