Stranded in Space news & patch notes

Hello everyone. Hope you're all doing well. Let me update you on where things are at with Day 21.

Included are 3 preview images of the final day, and a few images of the new Paige v1 Overhaul. I hope you like them.

First, let me refer you back to this post I made about an upcoming patch I have planned. In that post, there are a ton of improvements and features I wanted to add to Stranded in Space. I'll list them below.

• 3 Elysium scenes (will be playable in-story or from main menu)

• Writing improvements/consistency/editing for all days, but particularly Days 2-13

• Translations for Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French.

• Complete Paige v1 visual rework.

• Added 1 sex scenes pre-Day 10. I won't detail it here, but it's not a true retcon, nor does it change the core story in any way. This is for sex to non-sex content balance.

• Escape Room puzzle, logic, and game flow improvements + visuals reworked.

• Paige Trivia Battle minigame completely changed/redesigned

• Render reworks for a handful of select scenes pre-Day 10

• Animation reworks/improvements for various sex scenes, most of which are pre-Day 13

• Option to skip entire scenes with a small recap of what happened in said scene if chosen to skip. Due to Story & Major Decisions, this wouldn't be an option for every scene, but if there's a character you don't like or care about, you could skip at least some of their scenes.

The bolded bullet points are the ones I expect to make it into the next release of Stranded in Space, and I'm hoping to have the time to re-work the Paige Trivia Battle minigame, as well.

All told, with the Paige Rework and other pre-Day 21 improvements, there are hundreds of improved renders being swapped out or added to the game. It's been a lot of work. In addition to all of this, the next release of Stranded in Space will contain, counting the Elysium content, around 15 scenes. And, similar to Day 20, there are a few scenes that are very important and impactful toward the main story of the game.

What all of this means is two things: A) Day 21 will be in 2 parts, and B) the launch timeframe I'm hopeful and expecting for the next release is May-June.

I know that deadline might be disappointing to some, but keep in mind that the next update should be considered a normal, sizable content release, and that's without factoring all the pre-Day 21 improvements and additions. Day 21 p1 has a lot of content and, to reiterate, a few pivotal main story scenes (like Day 20) that fans of the mysteries in the game are sure to appreciate a lot.

So, that's where we're at as of now. I'm working hard on the final day of the game and trying to make it as good as it can be.

I'll make another post with more information/previews as we get closer to the deadline. One final note about the Paige changes - This is for her pre-changed form only - meaning her new form, the one you see in Day 19 and Day 20, is not changing. This overhaul is for all of her renders pre-new form.

Fixed a bunch of grammatical errors and a few image oddities, most of which are found in Day 20.

Day 20 is officially out. It is by far the largest release in Stranded in Space's history.

I hope you enjoy! A plea: Day 20 has a lot of story content; I hope you'll consider your fellow players when it comes to the discussion of spoilers and what happens within Day 20! Thanks to those who enjoy the game.

Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well. There's a lot to cover, so I won't bury the lede. Good news first, then the "darn." Day 20's Steam release date is September 24th. Day 20 won't have any Elysium content. Here are some stats about Day 20: • Most scenes of any update • Most renders of any update • Most sex scenes and animations of any update • Most writing of any update

Hello there. Hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while, hasn't it? Let's get right into it. Progress on Day 20 is coming along nicely; I estimate the update is around 80-85% complete now. There's not too much left: For rendering, I've got the Elysium scenes, and two normal scenes to finish. For writing, I've got some laptop stuff, and several toward-the-end-of-the-day scenes left to complete. The update itself is huge, which has become the standard since around Day 13. There are well over 20 scenes within Day 20, many of which are based off previously made choices. Within all of this, there are several very important scenes to the Stranded in Space story. Given the importance of Day 20, I'm trying not to feel rushed with this update, though I know it's taken the longest of any update in the game's history, which I am not happy about in the slightest. With all of that said, the release month for Day 20 on Steam is September. I'll be able to provide the exact window as I get closer to finishing the remaining work. To the fans of Stranded in Space on Steam, I genuinely appreciate the interest in the progress of the game. I see your comments, reviews, and general excitement—the enthusiasm motivates me and keeps me working hard. Day 20 is not so far away.

Stranded in Space 1.86 Patch Notes

Paige Recap Overhaul

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43514287/1aa800fdfd1c4a9833f82b06eb0a71c594bc3cf2.png Starting on Day 2, when you get to the end of a day and have your Paige recap session, it will be menu-based and, for the most part, entirely optional and skippable. For story purposes, there are sections and conversations with Paige that this doesn't apply to, but overall, this change is fairly substantial.

Paige Battle Minigame Overhaul

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43514287/fd2f7f440df3140b3dc469a6cbf6039e158e8fa4.png As I know it's most players' least favorite minigame, a few changes have been made to the Paige Battle minigame, all in the name of making it easier. The MC's HP has increased from 8 to 12. It takes a few seconds longer for the bubbles to travel from Paige's side to the MC's side (more time to read and choose answers.) An Enlightenment Button has been added. Once per battle, bubbles that correlate with the day you have selected will be highlighted. This allows for instant, correct answers. Enlightenment lasts for 20 seconds. This information has been added to the "How to Play" section of the minigame.

Early Days Image Reworks

I've begun redoing some of the early game images to bring them up to the quality that a lot of the later-day images have. Multiple meetings for Day 1 have been redone in this patch. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43514287/94fb10da128656ee1e850b278d7ef660ccb53fc0.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43514287/7f0f75dae05d46afbe7fad529677d3e0cd0bc807.png As Stranded in Space has over 13,000 images, this process is very time-consuming. For a lot of the images that haven't been redone yet, I've still improved them in PS as a temporary fix. With this patch, hundreds of images have been touched up in this way, and I plan to full-on redo more early-day images in between each content release.
