Meet Khalil Ayaan Yusuf Abbadi
He is one of the security officers you could meet on the UIC Tabitha. There is so much we want to share about him, but we'll wait for his full color sprite next week.

We seem to have found our "new normal"
I'm guessing that the amount of views and downloads will continue like this with some minor deviations.
There should be another spike in traffic once we do some more Reddit posts next month. We also renewed our VERY cheap paid advertising campaign. Honestly, we're spending so...
2021-03-30 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAmongst the dozens of choices you make for your MC, one of the first ones are how how old he or she or they are. Depending on what you chose, some crew members will react differently to you in certain scenes and instances. It's mostly small, flavor pieces but I feel it will greatly enhance the immersion.

I've been working on some dynamic content for the story of Infinite Stars, and the implementation keeps bugging me.
Episode 1 and 2 had a set script where your choices would influence the story. I'm comfortable with writing and coding content like this. It's easy and straight forward.
However, with Episode 3 I've ...

These stackable chambers are made from reinforced glass and used to grow the Tabitha's crew's various fresh veggies. The water inlets and outlets feed into and from the algae tanks where some fish are also kept.

Continuing with our efforts from last week, here is the latest itchio results.
It's been continuing pretty steadily. You'll notice the spike in traffic and downloads on Wednesday. This was caused by the lovely ladies from Andromeda 6 retweeting one of our "Go Download the Game" tweets. Normally Twitter views aren't wort...
2021-03-23 04:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs we've mentioned, Episode 3 has tons of story options that will allow you to customize your character. One of those options will enable you to define your character's general outlook on life. The decision you make will have a subtle impact on your story from time to time.
It's no secret that we've been courting the romance market, and Episode 3 will allow us to start including romance options and side plots.
I want to mention that Infinite Stars will always focus on the wonder and adventure of space exploration and that the added romance options will in no means water down the focus ...

So I'm trying something new. Since Infinite Stars is a collaboration of sorts where players can write their own stories for Infinite Stars or use our game assets to create their own games under the CC-BY-NC-SA* license, I wanted to take it a step further... Sharing our marketing stats with Patrons.
I upped my marketing ...
2021-03-16 07:17:00 +0000 UTC View PostLots of exciting things happening (as per the usual!)
In Episode 3, you as the MC will subtly influence how the story plays out. As an example, if your character is the more optimistic type you might be met with the following description:
Autonomous repair bots were swarming over the surface of the cruiser. Th...

Wow, another week gone! Time is flying.

We're continuing work on the story for Episode 3. We're pushing extremely hard to have a release ready for Valentine's day, but I'm hesitant to commit to that date.

The AI from the UIC Tabitha is a synth-shell powered by a powerful, yet still limited Artificial Intelligence.
