Mid-March Development Update (Patreon)

Hello All,

Another end of the week is fast coming upon us. Before I start, I just want to say help me on the online game download website ITCH.IO, if you haven't done so already. It's about trying to get the visibility of STELLAR INCOGNITA up. Details on how you can help are in the link HERE. Any reviews would be much appreciated!

Now, for the past week, what I've been doing are mainly 2 things:

1) Making character overlay images for HEROES OF CELTICA.2) Making a replay gallery for STELLAR INCOGNITA.

The character overlay images are basically what I've used in 8 DAYS WITH THE DIVA where characters can move and shift around a background image (see the screenshot above with 3 overlay characters). You may have noticed I never did this with STELLAR INCOGNITA, where each image is just that - an image with no overlay floating above it. At the time I started making the game, I was just getting to understand how to make a basic game with choices and the overlay is not something I wanted to introduce later on, although HEROES OF CELTICA will have a mix of images as well as backgrounds with overlays.

The next thing is that STELLAR INCOGNITA is getting so big that walkthroughs are only barely cutting it now. So I've been programming in a replay gallery that will unlock paths and endings  when you open them for the first time through a normal play of the game. Hopefully, this will make it easier to see favorite scenes again (without managing multiple saves) and also to get an idea of what you have yet to unlock. I expect the gallery will come into the game with version 0.9.0, so it will be in a few more months.

That's all for now!
