But don't get too excited - there's no new storyline content! this is a technical release... although it does contain a number of new features... ๐Ÿค“

CHANGELOG:

  • An issue where you can get trapped in ServiCorps is resolved!
  • The Bisexual content in ServiCorps has been better gated
  • Chubby-Chaser changed to Thicc for accuracy (and by demand!)
  • Psychometric & Endings Screens have been made solid to avoid 'click-thro...

๐Ÿ—บWalkthrough Update๐Ÿ—บ

Hello crew! Just to let you know that the Walkthrough has been updated (you can download the new version from the overview page). These last three pages haven't been added to the Interactive Walkthrough yet - but I've just finished coding in the last of all the previous levels, which I'll be including in the next release ๐Ÿ˜€

While we're talking about screens and the UI, I'll b...

v0.2.9 Teaser - Cellmate 1 ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

New feature! I've decided to start putting teasers behind the banner above... It means folks that don't like spoilers can avoid them all together, and I'll have a bit more freedom with the pictures I do choose!

So, onto the first teaser of 2020 - and it looks like poor old MC's found himself in chokey...

Happy New Year Everybody!

Well โ€“ 2019 is almost over (or actually over depending on your time zone ๐Ÿ˜‰), and what a year itโ€™s been! For me itโ€™s been a fantastic one โ€“ you guys have helped me devote myself entirely to my dream job of making SpaceCorps; upgrade my rickety old rig into a superpowered beast of a computer; and provided me with support, advice and friendship throughout. I know from our chats on here and Discord that many o...

๐ŸŽ–Spoilers for Sergeants #1 - v0.2.9 Character Line-Up

New thing! It's a new thing! ๐Ÿ˜€ 

So - I've been thinking about a way of giving out teasers without revealing too much whilst still actually... um... teasing! While I'll carry on doing my normal thing of giving out a few teaser pics and progress updates that don't give much away, I also thought I'd start up a new feature for those who want to be spoiled ๐Ÿ˜‚ (well, Sergeants+, anyway!)

Guest Lecture 3: The Equinox ๐ŸŸ by Major Umbreeyoree

Welcome back class! Sorry for the delay, I was preoccupied with organising my Marellion harem... it's apparently cheaper to rent them by the half-dozen! I'd also like to apologize if my voice is a little raspy - that's my fault for making a safe word instead of a safe gesture.

Now, on to today's lesson - the entirely male second species of Vyatkaloosa, the Equinox....

This is a pretty pivotal release as far as the plot goes - with major relationship strides on both the m/m and f/m paths and some tough choices. I'm actually really proud of the three major scenes here - particularly the art in the m/m scene and the sequence at the end of the f/m scene; and I'm really happy to include the first extended f/f scene of the game so far.
