Game is 90% Ready – Steam Release Coming Soon! (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Oops, Patreon police arrived and said NO BOOBA allowed 👀 Had to remove several images. All the good stuff is waiting for you on the Discord server — come get it!

The original version of the game is practically done.

Just a few final touches left:

adding the music

adjusting the interface for the new settings

implementing the achievements system

I’ve fully tested the game — ran it dozens of times — everything is stable and bug-free. In the next few days, the script master will help me integrate the achievements: they’ll sync perfectly with Steam and will also be fully available in offline mode.

We’re really close now — soon you’ll be able to add the game straight to your Steam library!

My plan is to finish everything by the end of this week. After that it’ll go through my final checks + Steam’s review process.

This is my first big release on a platform like this, so I’m taking my time — I really want everything to be perfect and error-free.

Most likely the release will happen either late this month or early March.

You showed a lot of interest in localizations — so right from launch the game will support four languages:

German, Simplified Chinese, French, and Spanish.

The translation will be machine-generated (automatic), and unfortunately I won’t have time to manually review and perfect it. Still, I really hope seeing the game in your native language will feel nice and welcoming.

And now the part I think many of you will love:

On Steam you’ll get two versions for the price of one:

Original in 1280×720 (HD)

Remastered in 2560×1440 (Quad HD / 2K)

Finding the best upscaler, running tests, and generating nearly 4000 images took a huge amount of time. In the end I chose the version that preserves the original style as much as possible while noticeably improving overall image quality.

Upscaling renders made in a different program — especially from a native 720p source with typical first-project imperfections — is honestly very tricky. But the result is solid and I’m happy with it.

Important: the remastered version will be a free DLC / update to the main game.

You can switch between classic and 2K whenever you want.

I’ve attached some before/after upscaled render examples to this post.

I think you’ll immediately see how much better most of them look — the majority are genuinely stunning in 2K.

That said, a few still come out a bit blurry or soft. Unfortunately that’s almost impossible to fix completely: if the upscale looks soft, it usually means the original render wasn’t sharp enough to begin with. That’s just a limitation of the source files we had to accept.

As soon as the game is 100% done (end of this week), I’ll jump straight back to working on the SC II update.

I’ve really missed working on the current game during all this polishing of SC I, but right now I’m genuinely thrilled I spent so much time on the first part. In 2K it looks exactly the way I always dreamed it would from the very beginning.

Right now would be super helpful:

→ Head over to the game’s Steam page

→ Add it to your Wishlist (it really helps the project a lot)

→ Join the group — that’s where I post exclusive updates and screenshots first

We’ve been working toward this for a long time.

If you’ve been putting off replaying the first part or haven’t tried it yet — now is the perfect moment to come back to it… or discover it for the first time.

Keep an eye on the news — release day is getting very close! ❤️
