v0.8.0 Supporter Release, v0.7.0 Public Release

Evening all, it's time for another update! You can find v0.7.0 up for public release on our Downloads tab, and v0.8.0 is now up for patrons! This update focuses mostly on applying player preferences to one-off or cameo characters, allowing for a wider variety of smut scenes that aren't tied in to particular plotlines. One new smut scene is in this release, and we have a new CG set as well featuring our smug plant-boy. Check out the Patreon post for more info, or the patch notes below:

• Functionality to support 'single use' characters in scenes who follow gender preference settings, in both text and portraits.

Scene Content:

• Added Choker's third scene, unlocked 60 hours after the second.
• 'Dark Streets' encounter scene added to Victorious, unlocked following bank/ship attack scenes. Two main scene variants, can be replayed. Content Warning: Attempted assault, scene is optional.

v0.7.1 Supporter Release

Time for our mid-month update, and this time we've got the first in-game appearance of one of our main antagonist characters! As with doing anything for the first time, there were a few mechanical issues to sort out - in particular, dealing with the fact that these characters are gender-flexible yet gender preferences can be changed at any time. In the end I went with a system for locking a character in to the preferences you have at the time you first encounter them, so heads up, make sure you have your preferences as you want them before proceeding with the storylines! There was also a lot of duty assignment work in this update, as well as some further updates to the crew promotion system. You can check out the details here, or the patch notes below:

v0.7.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Functionality added to support portraits and text switches for GPU Leaders. Note: Leaders from non-monogendered species will adjust in form to match your recruitment preference settings at the time of their first appearance in-game. It is recommended to make sure that your preferences are set to what you wish before proceeding with storylines and locking them in.
• Duty Assignment slots will now display the career track logo matching the requirement for that slot.

Scene Content:

• Second Choker scene added, unlocked 60 hours after the first scene.
• First Admiral Clausen scene added, unlocked following heist/ship raid scene.
• Watch Station Preferences Update scene updated to include warning notice about dynamic storyline characters.
• 26 system-specific duty assignments added for the Domad Rast system.

Art Content:

• Portraits for Admiral Clausen added to scenes and gallery. Nude gallery portraits accessible via cheats.

Codex Entries:

• None

Bug Fixes:

• Corrected Crew Promotions so that they will now add the additional number of character traits and stat points a higher ranked crewmember should have. Check has been added which should automatically apply updates to characters promoted in v0.7.0.
• Corrected a layering issue on the Cheats screen.
• Added missing relationship change chance flag in Choker Fight scene.
• Fixed an error in the 'Attempt to Steal GPU Weaponry for Analysis' Harman System duty assignment.

Known Issues:

• None

v0.6.0 Public Release, v0.7.0 Supporter Update

Hey all, it's monthly update time! v0.6.0 is now up for the public at the usual itch.io page, and v0.7.0 is now available for patrons! This was a pretty short update cycle, so the main focus for this one was on implementing crewmember promotions. For the upcoming month my plan is to focus pretty heavily on writing for the various Harian plotlines, and a bit of Choker content is already in progress. For more info you can check out the Patreon post here, or the patch notes below. Enjoy!

v0.7.0 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Ship Policies button is now functional following the tutorial. One policy currently available: to toggle on or off daily XO training of crew with Sexual XP. The maximum number of crew trainings will be upgradable at a future date.
• New Cheat Option added. A new button has been added that will add 10 of each upgrade item and 500 of each currency type when pressed.
• Crew Promotions now available. When a crewmember has sufficient XP of both types, a button will appear on their crew profile. If you have sufficient upgrade items of required type, you may promote them one rank. Trait bonuses applied to cost discounts, numbers still subject to adjustment.

Scene Content:

• None

Art Content:

Codex Entries:

v0.6.1 Supporter Release

Evening all, v0.6.1 is now here for patrons! This update has a fair bit to it, with one new smut scene and significant work on two different game systems - the adversarial Heat system, and the ability to 'train' crewmembers through sexual means. This is in preparation for adding the crew promotion system to the game, which I'll be working on later this month. There's a fair bit in there, so you can check out the Patreon post for more info, or the patch notes below:

v0.6.1 Change Log

Game Functions:

• Heat System has now been implemented:
  • If you have spent more time in a hostile star system than your ship's stealth capabilities can handle and attempt to use the System Map to travel, you will be given the option of fighting off a GPU patrol vessel or exiting the system via the Galaxy Map.
  • If you win the fight, 20 hours will be added to your detection timer. If you lose the fight you will immediately emergency FTL jump back to the Figura System with a 10 hour time loss. Reminder: Attempting a fight with no bridge crew assigned still results in an automatic loss.
  • If you have spent more time in the system than your ship stealth + 20 hours, you will only have the option of leaving via the Galaxy Map.
  • Leaving a system will reset any bonus hours remaining for that system.
  •  The ability to pass time at Watch Station will remain until more GPU systems have been added to the game.
• Crewmember Seduction system has been implemented:
  • You can currently attempt to seduce one crewmember every 4 hours. This is done by viewing crew profile information in the crew roster.
  • Base success chance is 20%. Some player sexual traits provide bonus options. Effective bonuses increase chance to 40%, negative effective bonuses reduce chance to 0%. Smoothtalker trait provides a 60% chance.
  • These values will likely change when future upgrade options are available.
• XP requirements to reach the next promotion level are now shown on crew profiles. XP cannot be earned above this requirement, although previously existing XP is not removed (for now). Requirement values subject to change in the future. Commanders no longer earn xp.
• Crewmembers can earn Sexual XP in dynamic sex scenes. XP is temporarily gained by actions, and 'locked in' when orgasm is reached. XP gain capped at 1/8th the promotion requirements per orgasm. Temporary XP that is not locked in is cleared on the daily update. Not all bonuses yet applied, all values subject to future change.
• The XO will now select one random crewmember each day who isn't maxed out on Sexual XP and give them 'training' for 1/4th of their current rank requirement. This feature will be expanded in the future.

Scene Content:

• Seedcarrier intro scene completed with second half. Additional XO/Seedcarrier scene variant available if your relationship is Fuckbuddy, Rival or Hatefuck. If you are already located at Daenad Iond on an old save you will need to leave and revisit to retrigger the scene.
• New 'Scenario Replay' scene added to the Captain's Office aboard the ship. This hub scene will allow the replaying of previously viewed romance scenes that are otherwise one-time-only. Different options can be selected when replaying scenes but these will not qualify for any 'canon' progress flags. Seedcarrier intro scene added to replay hub.
• Mini-scenes added as part of crewmember seduction system.

Art Content:

• New map icons/decoration added to system maps: unique system stations, unique system trading vessels, GPU military vessels.
