It's Friday and it's business as usual! It's good to be back!

According to our word count, the project has increased by roughly 30K words since the last patron release, meaning Infinite Stars is roughly 160K words long so far, or just a bit longer than J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers! (I'll share exact numbers with the release, but it'll probably be a bit more by then!)

To those of you who have been keeping me company on the livestreams, thank you! You know who you are. It helps keep me focused and motivated!

I've also added some of the old, new backgrounds that I haven't had time to implement until now, as well as a bunch of entirely new backgrounds for the new content. You can see the examples below of how the new bridge looks.

^ The old and new bridge!

^ The new command platform!

I've also added some of the previously revealed sprites to the game this week (Sonia, Lindi and Nikau)

If that wasn't enough, with the next release being around the corner, I've also added some new patron portraits that will be waiting for you in the roster!

As you can see, I've been super busy! I can't wait to share the new build with everyone! If you see one of our patrons in the wild, give them a pat on the back– none of this would've been possible without them! Infinite Stars is still a passion project, and I'll continue working on it even without funding, albeit at a slower pace. Their support makes it possible for me to justify spending a large amount of time on Infinite Stars! <3

I appreciate all of you! Have a peaceful weekend, stay safe and go do something fun to treat yourself!
