::Excited Friday Noises::
We did it. We're survivors. We made it through another week! And as a reward, you get a devlog update. (It might not be the reward you want or deserve, but it's the reward you are getting.)
My personal life has been OK. I secretly turned a year older last month. Dobson is entering his second winter and hates getting up in the morning. We leave him to sleep in while we start working to pay for all his treats. I've been spending some weekend time with famil...

The third instalment of our "revealed" crew. The highly anticipated Dr. Kiaria. She and the crew could probably do a calendar for charity or something… Mmmmm. Sorry.
Kiaria loves how she feels wearing lace underwear. And what confident lady doesn't enjoy wearing bright, attention grabbing red colors! The soft, somewhat revealing lace resting against her skin tends to tease the darker, passionate side of her personality to the surface. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Friday! w00t w00t!
I didn't make an update post last week Friday due to the long weekend, and I probably also won't make one next Friday due to other commitments, but rest assured, it doesn't mean I'm not working on the next batch of content for release.
I've been busy with some work stuff (making money to fund Infinite Stars - it could be worse), but I still managed to carve out some time for Infinite Stars.
Patrons should have seen the unde...

Here is the second instalment of our crew in their underwear! Maybe we should do some pin-ups? No, that would never work. Right?
Lebeny wears a sheer babydoll dress. She is quite self-conscious and shy without her uniform to hide behind, but still enjoys tracing the soft, see-through fabric with her fingers against her thighs. If she gets over her shyness and starts feeling appreciated and adored, she transforms into a beautiful, confident goddess. Enjoy the sneak peak!

I received the first batch of underwear outfits from Zaph earlier and will be sharing some of them with all of you! If enough of you rage and let me know, I might throw together a desktop background once the whole crew has been "revealed" (hehe) - so send me a message if that would be of interest for you. I might even be able to take a custom request or two.
First is probably the most anticipated, Commander Lochem. He wears a tight fitting shirt (not pictured here as I feel some of you ...

It's Friday, and I haven't done one of these in a while.
We'll skip the usual personal update if that's OK. OK.
I've been writing a lot more. I'm still having some struggles writing Matthias, as I just can't get into his head at the moment. I've also been polishing some of Lochem's upcoming content that I'm excited to include in the next release.
Caba has been a little hard to reach (It happens sometimes, nothing to be concerned about.) But h...

Hey everyone,
Thank you for bearing with me while I took some time off to mourn with my wife.
I'm back at work, and I've started working on Infinite Stars again. I'm in a better headspace and have been catching up on all the outstanding work from my day job. We should be back to business-as-usual, and I hope to share a regular dev update again this Friday.
That's all for now! I look forward to sharing more sci-fi goodness soon!

We lost our unborn child last week.
It's been surreal. Much like when I learned we were expecting.
Needless to say, I haven't worked on Infinite Stars since receiving the news. I will refund any patrons that reach out to me asking for a refund. No questions asked. Just reach out.
I'm taking a break for another week or two to mourn with my wife. Work will continue once my head clears.
Thank you for your patience and for your understanding.

Hey! Let me start off by apologizing for not doing any dev updates for the last two weeks. Real-life has been happening, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been working on Infinite Stars (Although less than I would want). This will be a short one, as real-life hasn't quieted down yet, and I'm typing this in a rush since I have to leave in a few minutes (Not to go hiking. Unfortunately, there hasn't been time for that either!)
To all of our followers in Ukraine, my heart ble...

Another week gone!
On a personal side, my day job has been more trying than usual, but I won't get into that. Also, I'm a hiker now. I hike. Dobby loves the Sunday outings, and I'm already looking forward to finding an excellent hiking spot for this weekend.
On the progress side, Caba has been drawing again (Yay!!!), so we'll have some more backgrounds to share next week.
We had a very successful live Dev Stream on Discord on Tuesday where a bunch of people watched me code s...

On the personal side, I survived my dentist appointment that I've been dreading all week. There was much less blood spraying everywhere than I imagined there would be. (Zero blood was sprayed to the relief of the dentist, her assistant and most importantly, myself.)
The patron release was well received, and I've been working on Lebeny's scene, which is almost done. After that, Ma...

The newest build is available now for all Patrons.
Remember to save BEFORE playing this content, and do not save while playing. OTHERWISE, IT WILL BREAK YOUR SAVE GAME if you try to continue once the official release is out.
The new content can be found by navigating to MedSec. I apologize that it took so long to get this out, but if you've been following the devlogs, you'll recall that we had to rip out a significant amount of content for a rewrite, which I feel really...

I was hoping to release the content batch for Patron's yesterday. Unfortunately, my day job had different plans. I did manage to get around 7 hours of coding done yesterday (Today. If were are still pretending it's Friday.)
Regardless, patrons should have access to it by Monday at the latest. The public release will have to wait a bit until we've finis...

Herald UI - Patron Input
Hey, I wanted to tease a bit more about Project Herald, a land filled with decadence, indulgence, satin sheets and sheer curtains. A land where you can always expect a dagger in the shadows, or worse, a ruler with a hidden agenda.
Now that we've set the scene, I need your help deciding on the UI direction. We have several options for the screen layout, and I wanted to get some input from all of you on which direction to explore further. Here they are!

We received the final deliverable artwork for Luhlua yesterday, and I have been polishing and slicing some of the facial expressions.
I learned so much about project design and commissioning artwork from Infinite Stars and how to maximize our value for budget. All those skills are being channeled into Dreagan: Herald.
Infinite Stars has static images for each character expression. Having static images is easy to implement, but it does take up additional stora...

It's been two decades since last the dunes wept, and all that remains of the shallow sea is a desert of fine, windswept black sand infused with precious metals. Water may be life, but the sand is livelihood, filled with prosperity, there for anyone to sift it.
In the center of the desert is the City of Liht'Habar, ruled by three half-siblings, the three jewels of the North. It's here where you fled with your ward, an ancient, ornately decorated draegan egg, probably the las...

Hey everyone, Happy new year!
I'm still unofficially taking a break until Monday to decompress and spend time with my partner and family, but I did get some writing done between the last devlog and now.
We're currently working on Kiaria's next scene that will allude to her and Khalil's past. It also sets the stage for the next phase, where players have to choose to "reach out" to one of the crew members to form a stronger bond.
We have some other exciting announcements that ...

Hey everyone!
To those who celebrate the holidays, I hope it has been peaceful and filled with joy! I have to apologize for the delay in announcing the results. I haven't had time to sneak away until now!
Without further ado:
The first-place winner is in our fanart competition is Anna Frieda Van Dyk.
Second place goes to Sparrow.

While we didn't get many entries, I feel the entries that we did get were fantastic. I also feel like the next event will be even more successful.
With that said, we received two entries per category, so every entry is a winner by default (They don't deserve anything less, they are all fantastic) - but it's up to all of you to determine who takes the first and second prize. Ideally, I would have loved to see more entries, but I think taking the holidays and the size of our communi...

Happy Friday! Just a heads up. This is going to be a long one, with more insights and announcements than actual game progress. Regardless, I hope it is an informative and entertaining read.
Those of you on the Discord server know that I’ve spent the last few days in the hospital with my partner. Today is the first full day she’ll be home, and while she is still recovering, I think the worst is behind us. She is still in lots of pain and far from being herself, but there i...

As you have probably figured out by now, my day job has been keeping me busier than usual again, but I've still been able to carve out some time for Infinite Stars.
Saeed did a great job with Kiaria's theme, and it's been implemented in the game.
