June 30 Development Update (Patreon)

Hello All,

Well, I can say it's been a very long June. I've been working constantly almost everyday on HEROES OF CELTICA and drafting the story line branches for STELLAR INCOGNITA EX. Everything has taken more time than I expected, but I'm happy with what's been produced up to this point. As you can see, I've finished the images for the 4th update of HEROES OF CELTICA and I'm going to dive right into the 5th. When that is done, it will be the writing and coding for the releases, which is also a time-consuming process, given my experience with the writing of STELLAR INCOGNITA.

The final update to STELLAR INCOGNITA is coming in just over a week and I'm aiming to get the Prologue to CELTICA released a month after that, although realistically, I think it will take one month more. I'll keep you all posted. I've been steadily trying to improve my craft and CELTICA will have some limited animated scenes, mainly 3-5 second loops. This is not a big deal, but I do think it's a nice little touch to add a little extra life to the new game.

Finally, I've been thinking of releasing CELTICA on a six-weekly basis, at least until STELLAR INCOGNITA EX is complete and released. I just need to find ways of increasing the bandwidth available for both projects. As I've been focusing on CELTICA, I'm spending less time on the development of STELLAR INCOGNITA EX than I want to.

Later on this week, I'll share some of the promotional images I've made for HEROES OF CELTICA. Lots of things have changed since I first started doing the design polls and showed some preview images. However at this stage, most of the characters are locked in. I really think this is my best work yet and I hope the story is engaging enough that you'll want to keep playing and support me to getting this game complete.
