Hi,
today I finished the last code adjustments and packaged Space Journey X V0.8 Beta.
As final test I ran the Krell Space Guard Combat Scenario. My new combat assessment routine announced a 9% survival chance. 3 moves later I was defeated. Seems to work... ;)
So you bette...

Hi,
I just added the last piece of quest code to V0.8! Tomorrow I'll render the full size animations and link in the gallery images.
I'll do some testing of the new quests 13th/14th and should have the V0.8 BETA available 14th July 16:00 GMT.
Not much concept artwork to show, as...

Today I did the second-to-last static NSFW render. Tomorrow I'll do the final one and render the set-up animations.
Then I'll do final integration 11th/12 and a test run on 13th. Beta on 14th and VIP Release 18th is (just-so) doable I think.
Also I added a small help screen for comba...

Hi,
today I integrated artworks and quest code for the holodeck repair quest. Really enjoyed writing the dialogues for Seraphine.
Like, totally.
And, as usual, she has a lot of 'important princess stuff to do...' ;)
I made a few new items for the quests. Among them
Hi,
working on the quests today. After having done a favor for Krogneath he hands you an item that will start the quest. Won't tell any more to not spoil it.
On the mechanics side, I added a new Mob, the Krell Enforcer (2x Hull Strength, Lvl 4 Mob, Unlimited Seekers). After you stirre...

Also, I had to redo the bathroom, as I found out something probably everyone knows who ever held a camera (except for me)... do not have l...

Hi,
today I plan to do the NSFW scenes with Seraphine and I created the bathroom for that. Of course the bathtub needs to be made of Eternium for the Princess to be happy ;)

Hi,
as I forgot to add that hint to the walkthrough and got quite a few questions regarding the Rescue Scenario here is the hint.
With 6 AP engine, 2 BFT and Level 3 Shields and weapons no problem if you use above approach.

Hi,
I've been working a bit on the Holo-Deck today. Layering the sprites, the overlays and the lighting for the different elements took some time.
Decided to use a (disappearing) pillar for some of the Holo-Deck settings & interactions.

Hi,

After setting up the characters I used the assets to make this render.

Today I finished the Precursor Junkyard in the new Krell System as the last element of a playable DEV1 Experimental Version. These levels have one new mob, the "Frothing Hiveling". It spawns with 50% chance, heads right for you and detonates on impact. Even comes with Rally Stripes ;)

Hi,
today I tied together most of the V0.8 mechanics changes and made a Day 60 Start screen, where Seraphine has joined you and you are in Krell Space.
Also added minor QoL improvements to Bot filters (parts, addons) and a cargo loss warning warning if your pod is too large for your c...

Hi,
I completed the planning for V0.8 content today.
I also made some more bot shells, including the Krell Concubine, which I forgot in V0.7 (see screenshot). The bot valuation you see is from the economy overhaul (not fully balanced yet). Bots now tap out at around 3 mil, except fo...

while waiting for EA1 feedback and fixing the occasional issue (nothing major so far) I worked a bit on the V0.8 story.
Repair of the Holodeck is one quest and to do so we need the Isomorphic Projector (see image). Seraphine needs to hide out on the Holodeck while we are in Krell ...

Hi,
the Beta test so far has uncovered some issues, but all fixable. There was also a continuity issue with uniform quests which forced me to rewrite part of the uniform quest triggers.
