Greetings and welcome. I am the developer of Dating in Deep Space, BubbleGumKnight. I know I kindof stealth dropped a buggy v.1 with tons of spelling and grammatical errors without any explanation, so here is the explanation of what this project is and why it's being created, along with what to expect in the future.
I'm making this game for two reasons. I have zero experience with developing a game or writing a proper story. This is a way for me to learn how to do this. Knowing that and the quality of this project (if you couldn't tell I don't have any marketing experience either), this project will always and forever be free. The other reason I'm doing this is because I enjoy doing it. It is fun to make. Because I'm not tied down to the specific execution of things, I'm very willing to take any suggestions, so if you want something, feel free to ask!
Where to ask me for suggestions? Shit I still don't have a discord server, not really a priority of mine to manage one, since I have a full time job. You can find me in some other AVN servers though, in particular Veebugsy's server (The maker of ChariKiss and Permission to Love) and Gasha's server (The maker of Bloom Again and hilariously a big inspiration for this project).
Expect an update every 1-3 months. Expect there to be free polls to be posted sometime in the future if this project becomes popular. Expect this project to take around 2 years to complete. Expect tomfoolery.
I'm about 70% done with everything for update v2, as well as fixes for v1. This first 3 events are completely done. Some exit scene are written but no sprites/music added (which doesn't take long). New events need to be added to the Gallery and tested, and I need to finish the character page that errors out because I forgot to do it for v1. I need to add more cursors and default to a sane cursor. Am I missing something? Oh yeah I still have two events to write and render. That shouldn't take long though.
5 events probably doesn't sound like much, and it is comparable to the amount of content from v1, except for the number of renders. v1 had 157 renders, and I have already doubled that for this upcoming update. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and if that's the case, then Dating in Deep Space will already have over 500,000 words by v2's release!
I've included some of my favorite renders that aren't spoilers to include in this post, so enjoy that. I also included a censored view of what it is like for me posing all these characters. It's a constellation, except instead of stars, they're objects and joint pivots!
Thanks for taking the time to play Dating in Deep Space. I hope you'll enjoy v2 when it comes out November 1st or November 8th of this year.
