Úchytfi - The Water Bird

The second of the ten Qól Zodiac signs. Úchytfi. The exact translation is "The Water Bird" but an English comparison would be a crane. 

Úchytfi is made up of 8 stars and is an "aether" (sky) sign. These diplomats are good listeners w...

The Ophelia

Aka - Let's show off the new BGs we've acquired so far!

The RS Ophelia is a 150 metre long deep space research vessel. Top of the line and owned by a private business based on Pelmiri IV, it's not a very big ship comparatively speak...

22/10/2023 Patreon Devlog

Hi everyone - this is just a quick check-in. I'm sure some of you have realised from my repeated mentions of life being chaotic that I'm having a bit of a hard time right now. I'm still working on WSC and wrapping up the remaining GS stuff - that ...

Lúchytha - The Gazelle (Qól Zodiac)

The first of the 10 zodiac signs Lúchytha, the gazelle. "Gazelle" is used loosely since the native Veleian animal this constellation is based on has two heads.

A "fire sign", Lúchytha is characterised by energetic, curious and confident tr...

Kav - Music Room (full image)

And here is Kav's full sized image from the music room. This one had to be much more heavily cropped than some of the others since it's more vertical. I have some thoughts about this dork. But I'll keep them to myself. LoL

(Also I already l...

Eswonian Phrases

There are several languages that crop up during the course of When Stars Collide. Originally this language of the MC's was the only one that ever had phrases come up. But as the story progressed, it made sense for other characters to reference nat...

Dev Perspective: Conditional and Unconditional

This topic is tied to my recent(ish) thoughts about routes verses paths. and also my general thoughts on game structure (which I haven't delved deeply into yet) - thoughts that are ever-evolving.

One of the things I've thought a lot about re...

October Q&A Answers

How long is the lore book going to be?

I have no idea unfortunately. 

One of the things I'm doing right now is trying to decide *what* to include. Right now I have about 43,000 words of lore content. Bu...

What if Yren was Fae?

This isn't a sneak peek per se but I was originally drawing Yren in a Halloween costume then forgot halfway through that he was in a costume and not actually just some kind of forest Fae.

Oops.

So here is Yren as an actual Fae (and not...

The Qól Zodiac Overview

Veleians, despite their technological advancements, remain a highly spiritual people.

Their belief is that we came from the stars, that they stars fuel our lives, that we consume them and thrive off them. And that, therefore, it's inherent t...

Yren - Profile and Stat Sheet

And here is the last profile and stat sheet. (I may eventually make them for the side characters IF people request them once we meet more of the cast but for now, this is the last.)

Yren is a really balanced character compared to some of the...

Nudity in CGs? (poll)

So this is a general question about playing games with sexual content and love scenes. Bearing in mind that my games always have a "fade to black" toggle to skip this content and that there are certain things I won't draw because either I don't wa...

Hi everyone - this is just a quick little update on GS and Yuu's Route.

Raif - Profile and Stat Sheet

And here we have Raif's profile and stats sheet.

Another very reliable character - but his stats skew a very different direction compared to Noel. His poor agreeable stat. 🤣

As before, if you want to learn all character background i...

Halloooo! Time for the GS devlog for this week!

This week was trash. It was just a garbage week full of stupid things and stress (that's why I'm a little bit later in the day than usual). But I made it through somehow. 💪

Kav'isari - Profile Sheet and Stats

By now, you know the drill. If you want to find out *every* big of information in the game, then it's best to avoid the body of info on the profile sheet. Some of that information will be brought up in the game. But, as usual does not contain any ...

Noel - Profile Sheet and Stats

Here we have Noel's "stat" sheet and profile page. 

It's always fun trying to quantify personality traits like being reliable or agreeable, but here we are.

Daaz - Profile Sheet and Stats

Just like with Asher, if you want no spoilers - not even minor or insubstantial ones, I recommend you pass over the information in the main body of the profile sheet for now. Some of it gets mentioned in the game (particularly his back story info)...
