Hello everyone! Welcome to this month’s devlog! If you just stumbled upon this, I am Adrienne, also known as insertdisc5! I’m the developer, writer, artist, main programmer, etc of the game. The game being In Stars and Time, which is the next and final game in the START AGAIN series, following START AGAIN: a prologue (available here!).  You can find out more about In Stars and Time here!!!

LET’S GET TO IT

The big news first: In Stars and Time has been selected for this year’s Tokyo Game Show!!! Oh my stars!!!

You can’t imagine how much I screamed when I found out this was happening. Like y’all. That’s the TOKYO GAME SHOW. They show Final Fantasy there. AND MY GAME!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Anyway it’s cool  and I’m definitely not losing my mind thinking about it. More info soon…

This month was also my first month as a full time game developer! I took the time to rest at my mother’s for a couple weeks, but still managed to complete the script for Acts 5 and 6, the final two acts of the game. Phew!!! That’s one big task I can cross out!!! I have now started implementing all those dang words and events into the game, which means…

“Oh my god I have so many things I need to draw”. I have not started the BIG ILLUSTRATION PROCESS yet (I think I have 40+ illustrations to draw…), but I have started on some additional expressions and pixels! So many pixels!

What else, what else… Oh, I finished my second big ISAT notebook! This baby is chock-full of doodles and notes and spoilers. I’ll start a new one soon, but it makes me sad to know I probably won’t have time to finish it before the game is complete…

That’s all I have to say for today! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there’s any aspect of the game development struggle you’d like me to talk about! See you next time!!!

AND DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM ALSO IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE STEAM’S ALGORITHM IS MORE LIKELY TO SHOW OFF GAMES WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF WISHLISTS THAT’S THE REASON WHY GAME DEVS ALWAYS ASK TO WISHLIST!!! OKAY BYE!!!!
