Hi,
as I have overlooked a few Khelara scenes for adaptation to shaved / unshaved I am working on adding those now.
Here is a variation for one of the scenes as special art...
It seems BB-2 dropped in too... ;)
Enjoy

Hi,
the Beta Test for V220 is running well. There were a bunch of minor issues overall and some more complex cleanup in the RPG System.
With Beta V220_010 posted today everything should be running stable. Thanks for all the testers submitting reports and suggestions.
I will package the Release Candidate for VIP Early Access I tomorrow for release on 17th July.
The remaining testing activities and also the Walkthrough & Release Notes will take up most of my time ...

Hi,
I am approaching the end of my from-zero playthrough with the Beta Release Candidate. Just cleared the NX010 Precursor Maps and now only some testing in Quthor for Khelara Shaving content remains.
While play testing I fixed a number of QoL issues as well
now color coded and sorted quest log (main vs. side quests)
leveling and skill point system added to armoury bots

Hi,
I'm about 55% through testing V2.20. Testing might take a bit longer than simple playthrough as I also fix smaller issues I come across.
E.g I got annoyed that early missions always have more quantity than your puny cargo so I aligned the shown missions quantity requirements with your current cargo cap. Much less frustrating.
Changed also some dialogues I wasn't happy with and now forced the ship repair interaction when you run into T'Ris, as some players would never chat ...
Hi,
today I finished the release candidate for v220 BETA and started a from zero test run which I feel is necessary due to the many structural changes.
It should take me three to four days to play through and fix any issues.
On a side note for everyone playing around a bit with Blender or DAZ I added a little package below: BB-2
The blender file is standalone and contains the mesh, textures, a free HDRI I think I git from HDRI-Heaven (check out the site...) and an OBJ t...
Hi,
today I wrote the last lines of Code (Trixie related...) and can announce that V2.20 is now Feature Complete!
The RPG Module (1st iteration), which will pave the way for future away missions on planets, was more effort than expected but I hope you like it. Let me know what improvements might be introduced there to make it as good as possible. Of copurse the new release also has all the kinds of contents you would expect. Including full interactive shaving options for Khelara ...
Hi,
with implementation of T'Ris Milking Quest (a small side project Moira wants to start...) the Quest content is finished! It unlocks a kind of Milk pet Leaderboard in the Mess Hall (see screenshots...)
Furthermore, all V2.20 renders are either done as Hirez or set up already and waiting for Hirez Render. As there was already so much content and I wanted to make Khelara's integration into the Races a bit more elaborate (Drengarian Special Harness...) I decided to do the full sh...

Hi,
while finishing the Underverse Subunit Activation Quest I decided to fold Khelara's shaving content into the Quest. In order to impress a client at the bar Khelara needs to step up her Game with your present, the Krell Pet Shaver...
Rather than just adding the content in the bar I decided to implement a shaving favour, so you can shave Khelara during the day when you feel it is required ;)

Hi,
I was not happy with the Scholar achievement and reworked the Render. Here is a 4K Version for you :)

Hi,
I am steadily moving forward through the list of 2.20 features. Here is a smaller one I'll do today and tomorrow. A new personal bot as per VIP Poll result!
It can be asked to Nimhe once she has upgraded the J-Type and can also create G-Shells.
In a first wave I'll convert the existing animations. Maybe I'll add another one after that.
Still thinking whether her J Personality should be present while in this shell or not...

Hi,
Good news,
Major Quest 1 - Defend Your Ship has been finished!
It introduces the Armoury, Combat System and a Tutorial Quest around it!
Moving on to Major Quest 2 - Shadows of the Underverse
You find a mysterious object in Deep Space and there are indications it might be an entirely new category of Subunits. During the hunt for more information you encounter Zyrnax, an elusive Deep Space Trader, who for a price, might be willing to p...

Hi,
Quest 1 of 4 (Armoury & Combat Unlock) is mostly finished.
Loot and defeat routines are done and quest steps also done.
While working on the quest I found that loot is much more satisfying if you can find items to equip your characters, so I implemented the first set of items and the equipment GUI (see screenshot).
Includes some grenades for group effect, armor and blasters.
Next Up is Quest 2...

Hi,
today I sorted through all the features, bundled them into quests. New features should not just "happen" but be the reward or outcome of some quest.
With that in mind I started writing the quests. Here is an overview of the Quests in V2.20
Quest - Defending Your Ship
While spending a night around Tenaris, a group of Thieves infiltrates your ship. Unlock the Armoury and defend against future Incursions

Hi,
today I finalized the Space Journey X Turbolifts. Now the Turbolifts are visible when accessing them (see screenshot). Also posted a small video on Discord showing the Lift Access.
I also used the opportunity to place T'Ris in one Turbolift for a scene test. I can imagine certain activities happening in that Turbolift. ;)
Never sure whether T...
Hi,
V220_002 DEV has been out for a few days now in the Beta Channel to test the RPG combat system and a few other features. Some issues were discovered and also balancing tips regarding combat submitted. Thanks to all testers for the feedback!
The RPG module has "passed muster" in a sense, it technically also works, so now I will integrate it into the story.
From today I'll start writing the new quests which contain the NSFW content ;) and will start implementing them over...

Hi, the VIP Poll for the additional Personal Bot for the Captain's Room has been concluded with a clear result. Combining all the votes on Subscribestar and Patreon the ranking is as follows:
with the remaining options collecting less votes... G-Type will be added for V2.20, maybe wrapped in some small quest.

Hi,
after two weeks the assets, game loop, combat code, mob ai and stage design for the RPG is finished in its first version! Hooray!

initial assets all done

units nicely displayed and selectable
available actions filtered regarding active and selected unit,

actually executing combat actions,
accumulating and storing experience and leveling
Hi,
there are recurring requests to change the shell for the personal bot, so I thought I'd put it up for a vote (I can't make all the animations for all shells after all...) ;)
Let me know which Bot shell you'd like in your quarters as an alternative with highest priority, so I can put it into V2.20.

Hi,
whenever I find time I do a 4K render from the VIP request list (pinned on discord, vip channel).

Hi,
I have been busy writing the ground combat routines this week and creating the assets. Today I started with integration and can hopefully test the game loop soon.
player can staff the armoury with up to 3 defense bots (protector and infiltrators)
an incursion even will have up to 3 thiefs, mobs enter the ship trying to steal stuff
defense is done in an rpg style combat loop
the text and buttons are only placeholders f...

Hi,
the last two I days I did the Armoury staffing with bots GUI (up to 3) and when I thought about a proper way to define combat stats and mechanics I decided to go for D&D-ish system rather than inventing something new.
So I wrote the classes, transfer code from bot to ground unit class (see imported bots, all start as lvl 1 and can level up like in D&D) and started on the D&D stat and combat logic.
Protectors are kind of tanks, infiltrators kind of mages, fi...
Hi,
today I integrated the Armoury into Deck 3. It contains three Defense Bot Storage Cubicles to protect the Ship from boarding parties.
Tomorrow I'll do the first part of the mechanics (transferring Bots into the Cubicles, assessing combat readiness...)
Then I have to implement the first part of the minigame (random / rolled encounters). The second part will be an actual interior combat screen with 3 vs 3 combat (turn based typical renpy combat, initiative based, selecti...
