Hello all! just wanted to share some news.

• Series title.
  • I took a page from George Lucas' book and started in the middle with The Orphans. One thing I realized is that, I didn't have a series title to tie everything together. There is a lot more story and such that isn't revealed in The Orphans, so I have decided when the game is fully released, it will have the new series title attached to it. The Architects of the Universe: The Orphans.
    • I thought about calling it a Pt. 3 or something like that, but truth be told I'd rather not limit myself with putting a number on it just yet. Maybe in the future.
• Sequel
  
  • There is plans for two sequels as of now. The Ark, which is a sort of parallel timeline with The Orphans, and Reclamation  which is set to take place very shortly after The Orphans/ The Ark. 
    
    • Reclamation is going to explore the events regarding the Qive attempting to return to the galactic civilization that they had founded and had been Quarantined from, as well as the human role in it.

That all being said, I am really focusing on getting The Orphans release ready. I feel I am close and have the following done/planned.

• Music
  • I have only written the one song for the game, life has gotten busy with my day job so this has taken a bit of a back seat.
    I have found and used other free music that I found here on Itch, and as of right now I am only in need of one more replacement song! It is something that needs to be triumphant for the end of the game and I have yet to find anything to fit the bill. 
• Title Screen
  • I have a title graphic I made, but I am working on getting a logo made for the series and the individual game.
• Tilesets
  • Within the game I purposely made a seperate tileset for the ruins and the non ruined versions of Locus. I didn't do much editing at the time to the ruined one, except for a few things here and there. I plan to go back in and create more cracks and other things on the tileset to make it look more apocalyptic.
• BattleBacks
  • Some of the battle backs don't fit. I have mentioned it before, but I'm mentioning it again... mostly so I don't forget to create them.
• Possible combat system tweaks.
  • I plan on doing one more play through once the above work is done, to make sure all is well before doing the full release.
• Mobile Version
  • I do want to make a mobile version, but first I am going to get the PC version finished, then explore the possibilities of a mobile version.

Thank you all for your support! Any feedback anyone has from the beta would be most appreciated. 

Thanks!
