Software Release V1.00 Early Access 2

Hi,

this is the early Access Phase 2 Release (V1.00 EA2).

Please refer to the Release Notes Post for Information on the included fixes and the Walkthrough.

Dev-Log 29th Sep & EA2 Release Info

Hi,

today I finished integration of all issues from Early access 1 into the Early access 2 Release. Around 10 issues will be addressed.

Will release EA2 as planned tomorrow for Upper Tier Patrons (& VIP).

As to v1.10 I started with the planning and worked a bit on Starsystem NX-010 (Swarms). The exploding Planet I made in Blender with the free cell fracture add-on. How prominently that System will feature in V1.10 depends a bit on the story. If I prioritize onboarding Mo...

VIP Poll - Ship's Doctor



Hi,

here are the two designs I have been considering for the ship's Doc.

Considering the quite positive feedback on A it might be obvious but I thought we'd have a vote anyway.
In case the Voron design does not win, a variation of her might be the Voron Service Tech occasionally spending time on your ship to service all that expensive Voron tech or will be on your base for the Voro...

Hi,

today I integrated most of the Early Access Fixes into the Upper Tier EA2 Release for 30th September. Tomorrow I will test them and also analyse two quest issues I couldn't reproduce so far.

In the meantime I worked a bit on the Medical Crew Member.

I tried a few races (Voronian, Human, ...) and here is one of my favorites, as we suffer from a serious Ginger shortage aboard imho...

Patreon Tier Info

Hi,

I corrected a Patreon Tier naming issue that has plagued me since the page started.

"All-Access Patron" has now been renamed "Upper Tier Patron".

So there are
- Official Patron
- Upper Tier Patron
- VIP Patron

Access right etc have not changed in any way.

Reason:

  • sentences like "Access to the  Early Access Downloads for All-Access Patrons ...

Dev-Log 25th Sep - Status V1.00 Early Access (NSFW)

Hi,

currently I am collecting and fixing issues from Early Access Phase 1. Except for one quest bug (patch already posted) mostly minor GUI glitches(5 issues so far in total) .

The intensive Beta and DEV testing it seems was effective in preventing any major issue slipping through into the field (fingers crossed...).

Upper-Tier Patron Release of EA2 on 30.09. is on green!

Attached the screenshot of a fix. In the Mess Room the crew can wear leisure outf...

Gameplay Hint - Disciplining

As I am getting quite a few questions regarding the mini-game:

  • Finishing twice in Zone I unlocks the crop
  • Finishing twice in Zone II unlocks the plug
  • Finish twice in Zone III and you get the achievement
  • It is not necessary to max arousal for maximum effect (0.7 SUB = Zone III)
  • To be in Zone III when you finish is enough

The plug is unlockable, but the 5-Combo with the plug cannot be used at the moment as MC's AP are not enough (that ...

V1.00 Patch Notice

Character Poll Seraphine - VIP

Hi,

there have been some suggestions regarding the Character of Seraphine. Some players like her, possibly remembering The Princess And The Tower, while others feel she does not fit well into the Storyline.

Prior to Planning the Story of V1.10 I would therefore like to get some feedback on her character to see where things could go.

I deliberately formulated the options a bit polar...

Space Journey X V1.00 - Early Access Release I

Hi,

the Early Access Phase I links were just distributed to VIP Patrons for Phase I. Please allow up to 30 min for delivery.

This Release was quite an amount of work with the many mechanics changes. 10 Bugs in the DEV Version, 25 Bugs in the BETA Version were fixed.

Thanks a lot to all DEV & Beta Testers!

V 1.100 will definitely be a stability release focusing on NSFW content and stability fixes.

Thank you for your support and enjoy the release.

Dev-Log 23rd Sep - Status V1.00 BETA 1

Hi,

the first wave of BETA 1 Issues has been reported (special thanks Oddora, kicks6666, Sadik, Oniros, Sean MacDonald and Hert Fanfiction). I should have taken another day for internal testing as Beta 1 was not as stable as I would have liked...

In any case all issues have been fixed.

Dev-Log 22nd Sep - Status V1.00 BETA

Hi,

about 90% through with quest testing  in BETA now. 

While doing the major quest combat I got totally annihilated and found out, that Khelara's in combat reload did not work properly.

Thats fixed now. You can see my encounter start against the Voron Zealots and the victory image. Khelara reloads a torpedo every 3 AP. Though I needed almost all of my 6 torps against the zealots at the end I dodge and shot up a bunch of seekers and Khelara nicely reloaded the ful...

Hi,

today I am busy integrating the final game elements in the Beta, adjusting the last code of the disciplining game and hopefully finish the code.

Tomorrow I'll do a playthrough of the new content and then release the Beta on 22nd GMT 16:00 if all goes well. VIP Early access is 4 days later 26th.

Concerning the disciplining game I have decided in a first step to not "cause" (like in Princess or other games) or look for infractions but have them occur as events. Then they ...

Hi,

today was a quite productive day. Finished up Seraphine's favour system & initial animation (Flashback to Princess Tower...) and Khelara's anims as well.

While cleaning up the item database I tied in some items for those who have everything :)
The Voron Hyperdrive allows 1h Hyperjumps (no, it does not do the Kessel Run in less than 5 Parsecs...) and Hyperspace Beacons for point to point Hyperjumps (the latter will be activated in V1.10).

Hi,

today I completed code, dialogue and animations for a Seraphine and Khelara Renders / Anims. Originally wanted to be code complete today, but that will take until 20th.

Still need to do 

  • T'Ris training code and render out her anims and 
  • render out Kythera's anims
  • fine tune the spanking game

and then I'm done.

Bugfix Info V0.9c1

Hi,

today I found out that that there might be an issue with V0.9c. Due to a mistake in my Configuration Management System I cannot 100% say whether the issue was released into the wild in a Patreon release.

In any case, if you encounter a crash when talking to Nimhe about Public Favours, please use Version V0.9c1 (compatible to all previous V0.9 releases)linked below.

Dev-Log 14th Sep - V1.00 BETA

Hi,

I started with integration of the V1.00 BETA today. As the setting is Voron Space for the main quest I couldn't help but make some Voron Gear to upgrade the ship

  • Nova Disruptor: New cannon which is slightly more powerful than Quantum _and_ has slots for AOE modules (5% per module)
  • Launcher MkII: Has slots for AOE modules, but you need to decide whether you want to load six torps or load less and boost their yield

Hi,

today I set up the last V1.00 animation and tomorrow I will start with integration work towards the Beta on 21st. I have still to render out some images and all the anims, but thats less work than setting the scenes up in the first place.

While the Renders are running is also a good time to in parallel do coding work and some Photoshop details stuff. I still have to work on the latter part of the main (Library) Quest dialogue too.

On a side note, I found out that Patreon...

Hi,

today I added some Voron specific space encounters and events. There are no Pirates in Voron Space but the much more dangerous Zealots (which can't be bribed...).

To get more combat variety, I am considering to make their seekers paralyzing so you think twice before absorbing them...

Hopefully this gives some more variety. The loot matches the risk :)

I'll finish those renders today and have a few days more left to think about the mechanics. Its already working, this screen is no mockup, but what action does exactly what needs some tuning.

As this will be the location of some "Practical Research" I made the setup completely in DAZ so I can shoot from different angles more easily. I'm especially happy that I finally figured out how to properly use gradients & alpha in Blender and export the texture to DAZ. I made the little projector globe...

Hi,

the glitches in the V1.00 mechanics are hopefully mostly addressed by now (thanks again to the testing vanguard!).

I started with the cutscenes for V1.00 main quest today.

Our hero gets involved in Voronian politics as the Grand Library enlists his services to retrieve certain items. At the end, the Grand Archivar might be inclined to do some research into primitive species of her own... :)
