Happy Friday, everyone!

It's a great one because today is launch day!

We've been working very hard on this one, and we're sorry it took a bit longer than usual. But I'm happy to say we're in good shape for the next upcoming release.

Some highlights that you can look forward to in the newly released content (minor spoilers ahead):

• If you and Matthias have been making eyes at each other, you can share a very tight, uncomfortable ride in a small elevator. You won't be able to help but 'accidentally' rub up against Matthias and fluster him.
• If you want to get a little closer to the enigmatic and usually inappropriate Andreas, you can do so while on a chaotic shopping spree for some exotic substances.
• If you just want to spend some slice-of-life time with Veera and Khalil, you can meet some new friends and pay homage to some loved ones. (You are loved and missed, and now you are forever immortalised little sweetpea.)
• If you have a thing for the strong Captain types, you'll have the opportunity to make some suggestive comments and take some mildly inappropriate actions.
• You get to meet some new alien species. Some of them are icky and gross (and yet also sexy, according to feedback? \o/)
• A new sexual orientation system that allows you to pick who you want to be able to flirt with.
• A new rival system (very new and not fully fleshed out yet.)
• A new status message on the main menu will show you how much of all the available content you have experienced. (It's impossible to hit 100% right now due to some seasonal content.)
• All the regular 'new' stuff: new music, new backgrounds, new characters, new portraits, etc.

We also added some niche scenes that most of you will probably never see. The conditions for these to trigger are stringent, but they hit the spot just right if/when you do see them.

Now that this release is done, we'll probably take a break for a day or two and then jump back into things. Our attention will shift to working on and releasing Project Syndicate in May while still working on Infinite Stars on the sidelines:

• Bugfixing and polishing existing content.
• Adding some more intimate scenes for patrons.
• Adding some more cutesy ,non-intimate scenes.
• Expanding on the friendship and rival system.
• Finalising and adding the new outfit system.
• Finishing the next (halfway? done) content.

Enough of my ramblings. You can find the latest public build on itchio or Steam, and the latest Patreon Build is available >>>here<<<

Those of you who have been around for a while know that we love doing cross-promotions during releases, and this release is no different. We have something special thanks to Esh from Steamberry Studio, the creator of When Stars Collide!

When Stars Collide is a fantastic sci-fi visual novel, (inspired by Star Trek, Firefly and Star Gate) and Esh is an even fantastickler(er?) human. You should definitely check out her project and consider supporting her on Patreon if you like what you see.

Your Mah'Abeu can also roleplay to your heart's content as Ari and Esher from When Stars Collide.

Have a fantastic weekend, be kind to others and stay safe! <3
