Happy Friday!

We're now solidly in the first stretch of the 'end of the year rush' with most of my business meetings asking me 'So what are your plans for next year?' and some of the stores around here have already started putting their Christmas decorations up for sale.

We also had our annual Brickfair last weekend, the largest Lego expo in South Africa and probably Africa as a whole. (I'll post some pictures on the devlife channel in Discord of my favourite builds!)

We've started prepping for rAge, the South African gaming expo, in early December. ICON was a great safe practice run to see what works and what doesn't, so we're excited to put out theories to the test. (As a side note, we've also reached out to ComicCon in the US for next year. It's a long shot, but maybe I'll get to meet some more of you! I would love for it to work out!)

Enough about the boring stuff, and over to why you are actually here! Infinite Stars!

We keep making progress on the next batch of story content, and as I've mentioned, we also started working on some smaller side stories. All the questions about 'what are your plans for next year' also made me think about what our plans are for Infinite Stars. I have a ton of ideas, but I'll want your input to validate them instead of rushing off in a direction I think everyone wants, so expect several polls soon. The first of these many polls will be the content releases. Right now, we aim to release 2-4 bigger story updates each year, but I can't help wondering if we should focus on more minor, monthly updates with side stories, extra intimate scenes, and regular slice-of-life content while we work on the main story in the background. I'd love to do the same with the larger story content, but sometimes it isn't possible. (Like right now, the next batch of story content will take place off-ship, and we need to get it to a point where the player returns to the ship before we can release it, so you aren't stuck mid-story with nothing to do until the story continues. If you're back at the ship, you can always continue exploring the intimate scenes and other side-story content.)

Let me know what you prefer in the poll!

(Oh, the Andreas and very NSFW Raymond pinup is also available! <3)

Have a fantastic weekend, be safe, make smart choices, and be kind to each other!
