Now, to answer the question: WHY SO LITTLE CONTENT?!
These past two months have been incredibly exhausting...
Between work and studies, I also faced burnout.
On top of that, I spent an entire week just sitting there, wondering why everything I do turns out so badly (typical whining, I know).
I sincerely apologize for that...
Another reason is that the next arc I’ve planned turns out to be much larger than I initially thought.
And I’m afraid that if I started working on it now, I’d only be able to finish it by early summer at best – and that’s just too long of a content drought.
So, here we are.
As for quality:
Previously, I was confident in my renders but not so much in my writing and storytelling.
Now, this update has been heavily focused on those aspects, and I can confidently say that I’ve improved a lot.
If before, I rated my dialogues at 3/10, now I’d say they’re a solid 6-7/10 (there’s still room to grow, of course, but not everything happens overnight).
And yes, the Codex…
It’ll have to wait a bit longer. I’ll try to get it done before the public release, but I can’t make any promises.
There’s just too much information to include, and besides that, I need to figure out how to format it properly.
However, I’ll at least drop a galaxy map in the Discord later, so you have a better understanding of what’s actually going on. I think that will be helpful.
Alright, I talked about burnout, delays… what else? Oh, right, animations!
Please don’t be mad, but there are very, very few animations in this update.
The reason is their quality—since I do all this work alone and not on a full-time basis, I physically couldn’t make more within this timeframe.
That’s all for now! Love you all, hugs, and see you soon!
Yours friendly neighborhood dev,
NoGlory

You can take your time fam really, if you are busy with another stuff and irl do that first of course. Thank you for the hard work you are always doing fam. As always stay awesome and Godspeed fam.
Thank you fam for being supportive :)
Dw about it, man. I trust that what you are cooking up is gonna be great! Just take your time and don't beat ya self up over it. Cheers mate
Thanks for the kind words, will do my best not to let down your expectations :D
Dont burn yourself, and dont put yourself down. Sure you saw flaws, what person would see them? Everyone strives perfection and sometimes will see an oppertunity to improve what they already released. No biggie. The whole thing revolves around you, this is your brain child that you want to see to completion!
From what I saw in your title, its pretty damn good! Take your time, enjoy what you do. You see some flaws, fix em when your ready. Seen alot of great potential in titles that the DEVs got burnt out and abandoned them all together and were never seen from again.
Chill, game, enjoy!
Yes, I will try to stick to this policy in the future, but the world is a cruel place. If you don't update often, you get forgotten :D
And thx for support :)
The worlds not cruel, its always been the same. Tis the people that can be cruel, but regardless. I stand by what I have said. Those worthy enough to be calm and patient are there to support the dev, those looking for an excuse to light someone up, thats another story. Be reasonable especially for your sanity. We have lost alot of promising DEVs to burnouts and many titles with potential left abandoned.
I got your back
Thanks for the kind words :)
Don't think. Do as you see it.
I've read a couple of AVN where the authors were damn confident in themselves, despite the fact that whole text is full of shit from beginning to end. They even asked for money for it.
Well, I'm not going to judge them, everyone needs something to eat. But thanks for the support :)
Early Summer????
it is currently Late Summer .... you do realise the world is not flat, right?
your writing is great btw, one of the things i like about this game
Thx, and yes, at times I forget that the world doesn't hang on 3 turtles, so please forgive me :D
i refuse
