Space Pimp Tier Re-opening date
Hey all,Hope you're all doing well and staying safe. Just the first initial post to let everyone I WILL be re-opening the Space Pimp tier this month.Due to the fact that I think this may be a popular thing I will be setting a time and date so everyone has a fair (as possible) chance of getting it. If you're unfamiliar with this, it's basically the design your own NPC tier! You can learn more here. I'll be opening up only 5 slots, (maybe more again the future), and that will be it. Again I ask those who have pledged to this tier ...
To Harem, or Not to Harem - Follow up
Hey all,So to keep everyone up to date on the results of the poll. Option 3 won by a landslide. I will say it again now like I did in the original post, just because it was the highest voted option, does not mean that it will be implemented.That said it is something I have been putting a lot of thought into lately and I've had some ideas on how a harem might work in TSP. From a story telling perspective, the two problematic characters are Catherine and Malaena. And I've come up with some rough ideas for these two. To start with keeping ...
Night Scene Build or Shower Scene Build?
Hey all,So for the Main Story build (after Mia's progression), I want to add in a new scene for each crew character. (The story build is going to be the biggest build so far with all the new NPCs and their scenes!) These scenes will be simple 2 part pieces, a build up image and the actual scene image (both likely POV). This also won't be a penetration scene since this will be focus of the level 2 progressions.So which would you like to see? A scene for each character where it's based in the shower or where it's based in your roo...
Space Pimp Tier - Mk. 2
Hey guys,So I’ve been thinking for a while about re-opening the Space Pimp Tier again since the first time around it proved to be very successful (and a lot of fun!). With the artwork for the original space pimp tiers now becoming finalised, I figured it would be a good time!That said I’m going to make some changes to the pricing (as originally it was quite undercosted I think) but also better explain what you will be receiving if you pledge to this tier.Please take some time to read the following rules / guidelines below before deciding to...
To Harem, or not to Harem?
Hey guys,So I wanted to address something in its own dedicated post since it requires a bit of discussion. Lately hearing some people's arguments about harems, I can understand the argument for wanting it in the game. Not rewanting to play through the entire game again (that's fair) and one that also caught my attention was not wanting to feel like a bad guy because you have to break it off with another woman to pursue another.Though I can sympathise with these points of views (and actually agree with for the most part) at the same time...
To Harem, or not to Harem? - The Poll
Read this first.
Nude Busts for new NPCs!
Just a little special treat for all patrons! Enjoy!(The missing gals do not have nude busts to show unfortunately)- Nergal
New NPCs + Update + Harem?
Hey all,Just wanted to give you all a teaser of all the NPCs we have lined up so far! (Excluding the Red Queen, who I'm sure we've all had a good look at this point ;) ) Most of these are from the Space Pimp tier that was run a while ago for patrons to create their own NPCs to be put in the game.I have to say I love the way they all came out and how they are going to add their unique flavour to the game. Seems like Elasi (elves) were very popular! :D (Never a bad thing!)Patrons will get to see the nude busts of these since characters to...
0.5 for public!
Hey guys!Happy to announce that 0.5 is now ready to play!There was an issue where the game seemed to hang just after the Unity splash screen, but I believe I have fixed it, but let me know if you get any problems.Here's a list of changes!- Malaena Progression- Saves are now nameable (for multi playthrough / character specific saves)- Temporarily doubled the speed of the ship while the battle system is in development- Can now get fuel without having to land on a planet- Can now get to any planet you are docked at by leaving via the door in E...
Update & a possible competition?
Hey guys,Just wanted to give a heads up to where we're at with 0.6. I've completed the architectural rework, as well as a few new features. It took a little longer than expected, but don't worry we should still hit the deadline for Friday 29th of May!Some new key features:- Multiple objectives now appear in space travel (the colour of the marker corresponds to the colour of the character's name when they speak)- I've implemented a galaxy map that allows fast travel and tracks objectives (I know this was heavily requested.) R...
0.5 for Space Pirates!
Hey guys!Hope you enjoy 0.5!There was an issue where the game seemed to hang just after the Unity splash screen, but I believe I have fixed it, but let me know if you get any problems.Here's a list of changes!- Malaena Progression- Saves are now nameable (for multi playthrough / character specific saves)- Temporarily doubled the speed of the ship while the battle system is in development- Can now get fuel without having to land on a planet- Can now get to any planet you are docked at by leaving via the door in Engineering (no need to go int...
The Final Showdown - Poll 0.7!
This is it... The final poll for the first progressions. Who's it going to be!?
0.6 Underway!
Hey all,Hope you all enjoyed 0.4/0.5 (whichever you got to play recently)!I started work on 0.6 straight away with a pretty big piece of work. As I mentioned previously it's an entire architecture re-write. From your point of nothing not a lot should change other than snappier loading times than were happening previously. But looking through the differences in code now, this tidy up was very much needed!I'm about halfway through the architecture rework and should be done in a couple days, then I can start focusing on the next character ...
0.4 now available to everyone!
Hey all!0.4 is now available to everyone!I hope you all enjoy the Catherine build! If you like some down right filthy wholesome content, you'll love this one!Remember the 0.5 Malaena build is available to Space Rangers tomorrow!Can't wait for you guys to experience that too!Until next time though- Nergal(Note: There is a bug where you'll constantly start receiving texts form Catherine after you have completed her progression.)
0.5 update & personal update
Hey all,So just a quick update about 0.5: Malaena's progression has been complete and I've started my own personal testing on the build. Should be with the alpha testers tomorrow and should all be good and signed off for Friday as planned! I've added in some new features too that were requested, like making refuel available from the galaxy map view when docked at a planet and allowing you to leave the ship to get on the planet (now done via door in the Engineering room.)There's something that has happened recently in my personal...
0.4 for $5 patrons!
Hey all,Hope you enjoy this wholesome build! :D There is a bug where you'll constantly start receiving texts form Catherine after you have completed her progression, this will be fixed in 0.5 though! :)- Nergal
0.6 - Character Decider!
Hey all,A poll to pick who should be the focus for the future 0.6 build.Interested to see how this goes!- Nergal
Work on 0.5 begins!
Hey all,Just letting you know that work on 0.5 has begun with the winning girl from the poll, Malaena!So 0.5 will be focusing on her first progression as well as prepping the major stuff towards space combat / ship upgrades / random mission generator. I'll be focusing on her progression first to ensure that is done and then any excess time I have will go on towards the work just mentioned.Patrons will also now be able to vote on who they want to appear on for 0.6! Deciding between Shelly, Mia and finally Princess Shuma has been added to the...
The Solarion Project 0.3 - Now available to the public!
Hey guys,Releasing the 0.3 demo a day ahead of schedule to avoid any confusion tomorrow for the 0.4 release.Here's a list of changes:- Kittenna's Level 1 Progression- Press (hold) shift to quick skip- Pressing enter advances through dialogue like a mouse click- Lillith's advances can now be rejected (this becomes important for later when other character's progressions start advancing)- The Location selection menu now shows a little white arrow when it's available (this will be changed to some sort of noticeable animation in ...
0.4 Update!
Hey guys,Just a quick update about how 0.4 is going and it's going... well! I've done some coding to make a tool that allows me to convert csv files into the dialogues for the game, which will save me a HUGE amount of time in the long run!I'd pen Friday 27th to your calendars as the release date for 0.4 to $10 patrons! And with 0.5 on the horizon looks like a certain blue haired gal may take the lead on that one ;)A note on the future:I'm thinking after all the crew have been done (Malaena, Mia, Shelly and Shuma remaining) and t...
The Solarion Project 0.3 for Space Pirates!
Hey all,I hope you enjoy the 0.3 build!Let me know your thoughts about the progressions so far! :)- Nergal
0.5 character poll!
Hey all,This is the poll to decide which character will helm the 0.5 progression!Again just a note Princess Shuma will be available in the 0.6 option, along with the remaining 2 characters from this poll.Until next time!- Nergal
0.4 begins! Plus possible changes to rewards incoming
Hey all!0.4 and the futureJust letting everyone know that work on 0.4 has begun, with Catherine taking the helm! It actually ended up relatively close between Catherine and Malaena, but Catherine seemed more popular in the end!It's going to be fun working on her progression as she is quite different from Lillith and Kittenna and I hope people like the contrast in character! (If you love the cute, innocent type, you'll love Catherine!)This month's vote for 0.5 will be between Malaena, Shelly and Mia. Next month (for 0.6) Princess Shu...
0.2 now public & 0.3 news!
Hey all,The 0.2 demo is now available to download.I hope that you enjoy it!Also some news on 0.3: Kittenna's first level progression has been completed as well as some quality of life changes around dialogue and such.The release date for 0.3 will be on Wednesday 26th, 9am GMT and I'm really looking forward to showing you more of Kittenna (in more ways than one! ;) ) It will be available to all $10 patrons as usual, and then $5 patrons 2 weeks later and public 2 weeks after that! ^^I'm still working on the transition speed issue that...
0.2 now vailable to all $5 patrons!
You can download it here!Sorry about the delay on this one! Hope you all enjoy!- Nergal
0.4 Character poll!
Which character would you like see be the focus for 0.4?As always $10 patrons get an additional vote!- Nergal
0.3 starting - and a question!
So unless something categorically changes with the polls it seems that Kittenna is going to be the focus for 0.3! The poll was at one point very close between Malaena, Catherine and Kittenna, but Kittenna has now flown ahead.I'm looking to release 0.3 on the 28th of February. It should be enough time to complete Kittenna's progression. But it may limit what else I work on.That said one thing that would be a quick and simple change is a suggestion I've had about moving where the busts are positioned.Here are 3 options:OPTION 1 - ORIG...
Character progression poll for 0.3
Sorry had to delete the previous poll as I forgot unflag the option that allowed you to vote more than once!Sorry about that!(I actually just did it AGAIN. Why is that the default option!?)
The Solarion Project 0.1 Demo is now available to the public!
You can download it here.Just some little tips:- Best to read dialogue as there is often little bits of help in it ^^- Press the escape key for the main menu. This has a few sub menus, such as a checklist, so you can see what you can do in this build- Avoid the enemies in space if you can, though running out of fuel tells its own little story! ;)Please leave all feedback, bug reports, etc, here.I'm looking for all feedback so please give me your honest thoughts. I really hope you enjoy! :DRemember the 0.2 Demo will be available on the 24th ...
Demo 0.2 update
Hey all,Just trying to keep everyone up to date with the current status of 0.2. So far I've done the bulk of Lillith's progression. I've had to rework and recode the Checklist menu, but it's now much cleaner, and there are multiple checklists you can scroll through (so it doesn't end up just as one giant list, but one based on each character + main story.)I've been implementing the PDA / phone menu. Which is where you can check relationships with characters, look at messages from characters (some might even send a saucy ...
