Devlog 2023-08-25 (Patreon)

Another Friday has arrived, and with it comes news from afar...

I haven't welcomed the new patrons in a while, but you are celebrated and noticed! Thank you for making Infinite Stars possible! (Honestly, it would be nothing more than a little passion project without your kind and generous support!)

A special shoutout to Albedo, our newest Admiral patron. We've been cooking up a surprise Tabitha scene together, but Albedo has requested that I not share too much about it during my devlog!

We've all been busy!

Stoffies has finished the new hangar scene and is starting on Aeroponics soon.

Tae has been working her magic. Our next pinup will be the much-anticipated Lochem! She's also working on some more patron reward portraits, and the new aliens are looking spectacular!

A small sketch that has since been refined and coloured...

Crowbie and I have been having fun with the writing, and we came up with some particularly cruel routes for your mc to suffer through while finding a vital clue. Not all choices are equal; sometimes, choosing the easy way out leads to unforeseen but still deliciously angsty consequences.

I've also been working on the solar map. If you're currently on the Captain or Admiral tier as a patron, you should see a play on your name on the map as an extra reward. If you don't see it, don't stress; it's still a work in progress. I teased a blank prototype version of this a few months ago and have since refined it. Episode 4 will have you hopping around the solar system as you [redacted for spoilers]. Coincidentally, this is NOT the very cool navigation thing Trix has been working on, so you're in for more surprises down the line!

Look at all those places to visit... We'll be adding more soon.

It's also the Creator Day sale on itchio today, and we have some deep discounts on the character assets from IF THEN ELSE, the highest they've ever been. We've been experimenting with pricing, as I feel the current pricing doesn't align very well with our vision of helping other indies out with getting their game out there. If you do end up buying a few discounted assets, pat yourself on the back, as all proceeds go directly back into Infinite Stars.

That's it for me and the team. Have a pleasant weekend, and give someone you love a hug! <3
