Very nice. It reminds me of Encounter with Tiber, with nods to Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey amongst others.
SPOILERS:
On thing that seems strange to me, is why the 2758 TERN crew would have a kid and doom it to such an existence, since they are the ones who feel so certain this is the last star and it is on its way out. The same people who want to kill you and your crew for batteries, are somehow happy to waste energy on raising a child in a doomed world.
Thanks for checking it out!
For the record, that's a great icon, slightly cursed. SPOILERS AHEAD. Probably should have been marking them in my other posts, too. Oops.
To address the Paradisaea crew, they've kind of accepted their life on the planet and are satisfied with it, despite it being so short. In my mind, the kid came about as either an accident or a decision that probably got a lot of backlash from the rest of the crew. They've been stranded there for a few years, and lots of things can happen when you've got a lonely group of people just trying to lead a good, short life. While I do agree that it sounds pretty contradictory and hypocritical of them, some of them are willing to allow the Iorata crew to join them, even though there are people who still want to keep the batteries for themselves. I'll see what I can do to make things make a bit more sense, thanks for bringing it up.
Why thank you! It's a pepefication of the default icon that itch assigns to everyone, so it's definitely supposed to be cursed xD
It makes sense that opinions in the crew would differ, since they did indeed also respond diversely to your arrival. Please don't feel pressured to change anything on my account, that's not at all what I intended when I brought it up. It's great just the way it is - my second favorite submission to the jam, in fact.
Definitely not pressured, there were many things I wanted to do but couldn't due to time constraints. I can't say what it if I'll change everything I mention here, but there are definitely a lot of things I've gotten feedback for that I agree with, mainly to do with explaining things just a tiny bit more. I do plan to expand the story more, without making drastic changes to plot.
