Day 21 Progress Report

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.
