Dev-Log 9th August - V0.9 Space Journey X

Hi,

today I integrated the main quest of V0.9. It is your task to help the Vorons investigate a suspicious Krell Biolab and put an end to its nefarious activities. Screenshot shows you intercepting a Krell Convoy coming from that very Lab...

If you are successful, a Voron Cloaking Shield is in reach :)

This was by far the most voluminous quest, both in terms of renders (won't post spoilers yet...) as well as in terms of story complexity and side activities linked in.

A...

Dev-Log 8th August - V0.9 Galaxy Map

Hi,

prior to writing the V0.9 main quest I finished the Galaxy map mechanics. Star systems have now defined neighbors reachable by Gate and the connections may or may not be operational. Map doesn't look spectacular but all hyperjump links are dynamically drawn in Renpy and can change status.

This opens up some quest possibilities to (re-)enable them or to seek for alternative routes if one Race bars you from entering their space.

Some unknown systems not shown will be revea...

Dev-Log 7th August - Space Journey X V0.9

Hi,

today I finished the code around Audra, the Space Guard. Expanded interactions in the bar and added the options for Captain Jim to 'show her his ship'... NSFW cutscene also rendered.

While I did the code, I came up with a great mini-game idea to expand the bar interactions and provide some entertainment for our MC. Various girls can hang out at the bar. You can buy them cocktails and, if you find out the right combination for each girl, you can invite them back to your ship......

Dev-Log 6th August - Release Schedule V0.9

Hi,

as of today about half of the NSFW content for V0.9 is done and I can fix the schedule with the remaining CRQ with reasonable reliability.

• 12.08. Code Freeze
• 14.08. Beta
• 18.08. VIP Tier Early Access 1
• 26.08. All Access Tier Early Access 2
• 02.09. Official Patreon Release

For spoiler reasons I don't want to post any actual cut scene art content of V0.9 at this time. Main quest will be focused around Nimhe, Lilith and Veronica...

All-Access & VIP Preview (NSFW) - Bot Type N & Nimhe

Working hard for more variety in the Bot world :)

Nillarian Shell :) I finally found that green tint & SSS setting that doesn't look corpsy. You can also see the new lab setup. Resources are now referenced directly from cargo (no reloading or refilling!) and lab manager is integrated into configurator.

Also a small preview on the starting outfit for Nimhe's public favours (as winner of the VIP poll she gets quite some content in V0.9). Don't worry, the outfits get more daring ...

Dev-Log 4th August - V0.9

Hi,

a few days ago I started to render and integrate NSFW and game content into V0.9 and am still busy at it.

Integrated the new starting screen Day 75 (see screenshot 1) for those who want to continue.

Then I added public favours for Nimhe. I was struggling a bit how to acquire favour points with her and finally found a solution that works story wise. As Nimhe is running her own projects, you can get into her favour if you allow her to take (high end) materials from cargo f...

Dev-Log 2nd August - V0.9 Progress

Hi,

today I fixed a bunch of issues coming back for V090 DEV mechanics tests and began with the cutscenes for the main quest.

The Krell have started experiments on Voronian cloning in their Biolab, which did not go well with the Voronian neighbors. Our mc will get sucked into this conflict, with certain rewards at the end of the tunnel :)

Made the BioLab scene in Blender, with the clone model imported from DAZ into Blender.

V090 release dates will be following the mont...

Dev-Log - 31st July

Hi,

I just posted the 090DEV version into the Beta channel on discord for testing of new mechanics. Now I'll move on to quests and NSFW for V090.

Screenshot you see is an encounter at one of the space oddities Vee identifies on the Space Nav Map. You can see a new mob which, if defeated, has a new item (Collapsar Torpedo). The screenshot is just from a test scenario. With the load out you see and engine performance as is my combat analysis interface calculated a 5% survival chance...

Dev-Log 30th of June

Hi,

today I integrated a new character into the Spacebar, Audra, Sergeant in the Iltari Space Guard. She will appear every other day in the bar after duty and might be willing to talk with you once you have rescued a few slaves...

She'll get some NSFW content in V0.90 in a side quest. Lilith The Infiltrator and Veronica, the bar girl, will feature in the main quest. That way all three side character winners will get some V0.90 NSFW content.

I'll add her to the V0.90DEV mecha...

Dev-Log 29th June

Hi,

today I completed the integration of the revised uniform / public training assets. In the screenshot you can see the the official Iltari Station Uniform Registration Scanner. Without occupant in this preview :)

The next days I'll package the V090DEV version which contains the new GUI and mechanics for Beta Testing (available 31st).
After that I'll proceed to V0.90 NSFW quest code and art from 31st.

One bug is remaining and to be fixed in V080EA2 still, I'll package th...

Dev-Log 28th June - Status V0.9

Hi,

today I completed rewrite of the entire uniform and public training code, which was incongruous at times.

Now the onboard training with both uniforms needs to be finished for T'Ris to be able to render public favours (uniform walks) outside. Changed the uniform registration cutscenes with some new renders and new scenes and rewrote the EXH training counters "under the hood".

The new system will be much easier to expand with more favours and uniforms in future.

Smal...

Dev-Log July 27th

Hi,

today I implemented a Job for Vee who was just relaxing so far (except when she takes care of Seraphine in the Holodeck).

Vee can now be assigned the task "Space Survey". Occasionally she will find a Space Oddity / Mystery which you can the explore on the map for special loot or combat.

As to V080_EA2a I hope yesterdays fix will be the last that is necessary before Official Release (Advanced to 1st of August).

Most of the V0.90 game mechanics is done (see V090 task...

Dev-Log July 25th - V0.9DEV and V0.8 EA 2

Hi,

today I started reworking the - so far imho too unstructured - favour system and progression. In V0.9 there will now be Private Favours when the character is in her Cabin and Public Favours when the character is on duty.

I started with T'Ris and also will rewrite the uniform progression (EXH, SUB), station walks etc. for her (with some revised scenes).

Seraphine also got an update, as I forgot to add the Tiara to her Royal Highness. Updated all side images and redid the ...
