Solarion project Demo 0.1 now available for all $5+ patrons!

You can download it here. 

Polls are closed and work begins tomorrow!

Hi all!

The polls deciding which characters would be worked on first are now closed! Lillith won the poll outright, with Kittenna closely behind, and Malaena not too far behind them. However, surprisingly the other 3, Mia, Shelly and Catherine were't even contenders. It seems people favor the tall beautiful badasses of the crew! ;) 

Work will begin tomorrow on Lillith's progression. The aim is to have the demo 0.2 prepared and ready for $10 patrons on the Monday 27th of this ...

Who should be the first NPC top focus on for Character Progression?

Basically, it's pick your favourite waifu time!

Solarion Project is now available to all $10+ patrons!

Hey guys!

The animation finally got completed and I'm excited to announce that the first TSP demo is now available for all $10+ patrons! In 2 weeks, it will become available for all $5+ patrons with bug fixes applied, and after that it will be available to the rest of the public. 

Special thanks to:

TSP Demo - Update

Hi all, 

There has been a slight delay while I was waiting for an animation to be completed. The animation should be ready by the end of the week I'm told, so I'm hoping to be able to give the demo to all $10 patrons by then. 

I polled the $10 patrons on whether they wanted to wait for the animation or just go ahead and play, and most opted to wait, and I appreciate their patience!

I really can't wait to show all the hardwork that has gone into it. And I'm so excit...

Solarion Project - Demo Update

Hi all,

Just a quick update about the demo. It has been in alpha testing for the past couple days and I'm quickly reducing the number of bugs (of which there have been a few, but not as many as I expected so far!) I've also got some good suggestions for improvements I can make from the testers too which I will start implementing. 

Predominantly though there is just the animation to be done, and once that is done the demo will be released with no delay! I really can't wait for...

The Solarion Project - Video of Demo gameplay

Hey guys,

I suggest reading this post first. 

But here's a little spoilerish video of all the systems in actions and some basic gameplay. The demo is so close to being finished and I can't wait to share it with you all

The Solarion Project - Update

Hey all!

It's been a while since I updated, and I wanted to fill you guys in on what's happening and what you can expect going forward.

So with that I'm excited to announcement that there will be a playable demo released within the next 30 days! I'm actually really far ahead with it to the point I'm mainly just waiting for animations to be done and a few bug fixes need to be done too.

Now I know you could be asking "Well why don't you just release it now?", and that's valid,...

Character Interviews!

Hey all,

As part of defining each character I wrote an interview where the character would answer them. I thought I'd put them up for everyone to see so you can better see the personality / some history of the character!

Check them out on the Dossier's page on the TSP website. 

Hope you all enjoy!

Nix Speed Drawing!

From start to finish! 

Some very fitting music too ;) 

Princess Shuma Surket Speed Drawing

 Form start to finish!  

Some final NPC reveals

Hey all,

Been a while, just wanted to show off some of the artwork that has been done recently.

3 new busts have been completed for some major NPCs!

Princess Surket Shuma 

Princess Surket was chosen as the final member of the crew. 

She had to flee her homeworld after her brother began an uprising. As the rightful heir to the throne of this sys...

Catherine - Fair Ground Date Speed Drawing!

Take a look at the cute scene for one of the dates you have with Catherine. Maybe this is the date where she embraces her feelings for you and acts upon it when you return back to the ship...

Catherine - Start to Finish Teaser!

Hey all,

Just a fun video for you to check out of a piece of artwork completed recently by Witchking00. It shows from start to finish and also teases a scene in game!

It shows the MC and Catherine going off to an arcade. Some could say it's a date!

6 main NPCs revealed!

Hey all!

After the results of this poll. We have the next 3 major NPCs alongside the established 3 we already had. 

The Red Queen, a criminal mastermind and gang boss who has roots everywhere in the galaxy. She is always willing to give you work, but she is a temptress and seems to have connections with your deceased father. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty she is always wi...

Decide the next 3 Major NPCs!

So now that the crew has been decided, it's up to you decide who the next major NPCs will be. The first is The Red Queen, who I have previewed here before. She, like all major NPCs will be a quest giver, and have her own storyline as well as interacting with the main story line in some way.

This time you will be able to vote for your favourite 3 sketches and the top 3 will be picked as major NPCs. That doesn't mean to say the others  won't appear, but they will likely be side chara...

The final crew member revealed!

Hey all,

I ran a poll for patrons to decide who the final member of the crew would be. There were 12 different character archetypes to choose from (some of which you will likely recognise the inspiration from!). Winning by a large margin, allow me to introduce the final crew member, Princess Surket Shuma! She had to flee her homeworld after her brother began an uprising. As the rightful heir to the throne of this system spanning empire, she wants to lead to a rebellion against her broth...

Last crew member!

Hey all,

Been some time, I'm hoping to begin working on TSP again soon! Just need to finish the UD update and then I can begin work. 

In the meantime, if you want to help decide which character should be the final character to be added to the crew, you can choose here. 

The rest will still likely be used for NPCs within the game itself.

Let me know what your favourites of these are! :)<...

Update

Hey all,

Just a quick update to let you all know art is still being procured for the project and will continue to be so. As I've said before I'm looking to properly kick this project off in the new year with the first build out hopefully by the end of January.

If it comes sooner obviously you will all be the first to know!

Until then enjoy a sample of some of the art that has been made!

Looks like Mia just wants to sleep, but Kittenna wants your attention...

Update

Hey all!

I just wanted to give a brief update of what's going on and let you know the project isn't dead and I'm hoping to get to work on it very soon in more depth.

During this time of inactivity artwork is still being done (in fact quite a lot has been gathered by this point). And a massive thanks to those who continue to pledge as it really does help me fund the artwork!

Things are improving bit by bit for me personally and although I'm committed to finishing up my other project...

Solarion Project - Update

Hey all!

I wanted to give a bit of an update as to what is going on with this project. Artwork is still being procured (in fact at this point quite of bit has been completed). 

If you follow my other project you'll be aware of the situation, but if not, to put it simply, I've been having a lot of personal issues, mainly around my mental health that have had a large impact of my ability to work. Not just on my projects, but also in my day to day life as well. 

However thin...

Update

Hey all!

It's been a while! Just wanting to let you know the project is being worked on in as much as capacity as I am able. Obviously the artwork has been going in full force (and more will be previewed in the future!) 

But from a coding point of view, head way is being made. The basic dialogue/ point & click interaction system is basically complete and the planetary travel system is near completion as well. After this will be the animation player and then the actual content th...

Meet The Red Queen

Say hello to a quest giver known only as The Red Queen. She's a Dracaran (like Lillith), who is the same height as our MC. But unlike Lillith who is like a blunt instrument, she is subtle and seductive, persuading the MC with every asset she has available.

When the first demo comes out, maybe you'll discover why she is called The Red Queen. (And no, it's not because of her tattoo colour!) as well as much more about her!

We're very surprised to get such support so early on, and as a thanks I've got a sneak peek of sketches for the early part of the game. The opening segment called "Gather the crew". Enjoy!

Welcome! + Opening Q&A

Hey all! 

Just wanted to say hi to this exciting launch for a project I've been dreaming of for a few years now.

I'm so happy to be kick starting it and I'm hoping you guys will be enthused as I am about it!

To give a better understanding of what this project is, and what the plans are, I've created this Q&A. But, if you haven't already, I strongly recommend checking out the website, which you can find...
