Devlog - 18th Nov - V2.40 Assets Progress

Hi,

I have been busy working in the background migrating all space location code to the new GUI and creating the required dynamic backdrop assets (that show through ship windows, etc.)

I have migrated all the code for Iltari, Arellarti and Xenos and will do Quthor today. Attached are the backdrop assets I made for that.

The overall feature was a huge undertaking, requiring reclassifying and recreating a whole bunch of render assets while migrating about 3000 lines of spac...

Devlog - 15th Nov - Rework 2.40 Space Locations

Hi,

for V2.40 I decided to have topical backgrounds for every location which show when you have the windows in the background, the cockpit cutscenes and the nightly screen.

As the star systems have a different color scheme, I'll make them fittin g in that hue.

I hope you like it.

As this change also requires to rewrite all space image definitions I needed to keep it separate from the 230 path, which I plan to release an update tomorrow. I hope none of the new locatio...

Devlog 10th Nov - Development of V2.40 Started!

Hi,

after release of the Official Version 2.30, which runs quite stable (except for a few minor reports) I am moving on to sort the content of the next version...

The Space GUI will be totally overhauled with location context menus (see screenshot) which allow for more agency and also better immersion (location specific space backdrops, scanning to obtain valuable information, ...). A DEV test version is already out and feedback was good on the feature.

I also will introduc...

Devlog - 3rd Nov - Progress Early Access II

Hi,

the Early access Phase II is going well. I fixed most of the minor reports I received and plan to create the next 2.30 Distribution in the next two days.

This will be Release Candidate for Official Release. Release date for Official Patron Release can be advanced to 8th November I think.

Besides 2.30 I am currently working on the revised Space navigation GUI for a bit while waiting for the occasional 2.30 EA report.

Preview - Ylyee's Outfits

Hi,

while hunting an issue regarding Ylyee's Envoy Suit in V2.30 Early Access I stumbled multiple times over my bad design decision to not add Ylyee to the Crew but make her a Passenger.

This requires too many exceptions and manual handling in the code, which causes trouble at the most unexpected places. Besides that, it excludes her from the "Get Dressed" AI code that is required after cutscenes etc.

For this reason I decided that she will officially join the crew in V2.4...

Space Journey X - Devlog 28th Oct

Hi,

today I was fixing the final reports for 2.30 and compiled the Early Access II version due for Release (VIP + Upper Tier) tomorrow 29th.

The improved leveling system (all team members get exp for victories) works very nicely. I also added two minor convenience features to SJX. The levels and progress during combat is now shown in the GUI and in the Armoury there are info panels on mouse-over for the gear and weapons, including stats required to equip the item (see screenshots)...

Hi,

here is a small update from The V2.30 Early Access testing.

The Early Access Phase I is going well. Some issues (mostly balancing and dialogue inconsistencies) and one major issue (patched already) have been reported. I plan to integrate the last minor issues today to create the Release Candidate for Early Access Phase II on 29th. Date looks OK!

Hi,

after a lot of work the light at the end of the tunnel has arrived! The Beta was just released in the Beta Channel on Discord for testing. Thanks for everyone submitting issues and suggestions in the development Phase.

Space Journey X - V2.30 - Testing Screenshots (NSFW)

Hi,

to test all the new features I'll started a (1) playthrough from zero (until Arellarti). That should allow me to cover the kickoff for the new quests.

Then I'll import a late game and will (2) play through all the new NSFW contents. There are more NSFW gallery Pictures than in any previous version before :)

Devlog - 6th Oct - Progress V2.30

Hi,

Integration of SJX is almost done. I revisited the Combat Module and added a Respec option for Crew or Bots (the Omega cube you can see). The Cube can be created from Mysterious Cubes or Enigmatic Cubes (which are available as loot now).

Furthermore I added the two new Underverse Launchers. The brute force one has up to 100% AOE and the more devious one turns enemy seekers in AOE impact range against a random enemy). In the screenshot you can see two seekers with a little gre...

Devlog - Space Journey X - V2.30 Integration (NSFW)

Hi,

I am in the middle of integration for Version 2.30. This involves adding triggers for scenes to play, wrapping the new assets in quests, adding any forgotten odd items and mechanics, gallery and achievement management and and more.

Below you can see a few screenshots from the integration testing (NSFW).

You can also see the detailed progress in attached PDF that shows the main features. There's probably another 2 or 3 times as many on codebase commit level (smaller s...

Devlog - 28 Sep - Progress V2.30

Hi,

the last two days I integrated the Progressive Uniforms, interactions and assets for Vee into the code (see screenshot...)

As it makes no sense to link the outfits to EXH of Vee (who is found naked...) I linked it to the new APP stats of Vee. You will get APP from Vee on your way to the Waystation System. It is balanced in a way that the final P3 uniform is unlocked upon reaching the Waystation System.

I also did a bunch of smaller changes ( you can change your name ...

Devlog - 24th Sep - Progress V2.30 (NSFW)

Hi,

today I finished coding the biggest new quest, "The Bot Collective". This quest wraps the new away mission content, new Underverse Bot Parts and a new Subsystem.

The Quest begins when you are pulled into a conflict between two factions of renegade Bots. There is the peaceful Collective and the aggressive Enclave. The Collective enlists your Services to take out hideouts of the Enclave, who, by using Underverse Technology improvements, plan to eventually wipe out all Biological...

Devlog - 20th Sep - V2.30 Renders Complete

Hi,

yesterday I finished doing the last NSFW Render / Render Setup for V2.30. I will now proceed to integration and wrapping the content into quests.

V2.30 should be feature complete be end of this month and ready for internal & then beta testing.

As for the last VIP Poll regarding pony content for Khelara or Seraphine the winner is determined! Khelara won by a small margin, so I added Khelara to the races in V2.30 and will add some additional Seraphine content later in ...

Devlog - 16th September - Progress V2.30

Hi,

Version 2.30 is progressing nicely. Most of the NSFW scenes are rendered or set up for render. Now comes the bit boring work of creating all the character sprites with new outfits and adding the asset code.

For Vee's progressive 3 uniforms this means 4 locations x 3 outfits x hover/non hover highlighting = 24 different character sprites. Also the portrait figures for the dialogue. I think tomorrow I'll finish with that and then I'll go for integration of the assets into dialog...

VIP Poll - Which Pony Side Quest in 2.30

Hi,

I am currently about to freeze of V2.30 which is very heavy on Vee content. I also planned on pony related side quests but I have two options that are kind of separate.

• Option B: Due to Seraphine's popularity, The Dome Magazine asks you for an interview and photoshoot for a special Seraphine edition. This i...

Done around 15 Renders, there's quite a few more to come. Animations I am still thinking about...
