Wondering about the direction of the game? Fetishes? Planned routes or ideas? Ask them here!
You wake up on a spaceship filled only with women travelling to another planet, unaware of how you got there. · By
With the next update there will be well over 20 girls in the game, but not all will have specific fetishes/kinks.
Here's what isn't in the game that's been asked before: NTR, Futa, Watersports
What is or will be in the game is a very long list. If there was a specific fetish you were wondering about let me know.
Indeed, I would describe it as a semi-realistic harem game. The base eight days are more of a "setting the stage and story" kind of release.
The next release, out in a few weeks, has triple the sexual content.
I appreciate you taking the time to leave your detailed thoughts.
I know there are some people who want a greater degree of control, i.e. less of a kinetic novel with Stranded in Space.
It's not that Stranded in Space doesn't have choices; right now in the coming update there are around 5 total scenes that you can uniquely experience, depending on the choices made in the base eight days. This number will continue to grow with the next update after that.
The way I try to summarize it is: Stranded in Space is a game where you have sex with a lot of different girls. Your relationships with some of them, the ways you treat/they treat you, and what kinds of kinks you have/kinds of sex enjoyed- are all the kinds of decisions that can be made, to some extent, in the game.
But for some people this isn't enough, and that's fair. In the base game I had a few people wish they could reject Marissa, on account of how she acts towards the MC. That will never be the case, in Stranded in Space. Now, does Marissa have a few choices coming in the future? Yes. Does she have a story arc? Yes. But fully rejecting her, or having deeper control on a per-girl bases like that? That's just not possible for me, logistically. Stranded in Space is a kinetic novel, mostly because there's 20+ girls, but also because it allows for slightly better storytelling, in my opinion. Side note: in the next update you can skip sex scenes, so if you really didn't want to see a scene with Marissa, as example, you can skip it.
But I hear what you're saying. Believe me when I say I'm trying to give the player as much choice as possible, within the framework of a kinetic novel. Just based on what you wrote, I doubt there will be enough choice/control for you, but I hope you give each update a try nonetheless. Thanks again for leaving such a thorough comment.
Ah, I wasn't aware this was a kinetic novel. I assumed this was a normal visual novel. That explains the lesser amount of choice. So knowing that, that you're making something different from what I thought, your decisions make a lot more sense.
I appreciate you reading and taking to heart what I've said. I have enjoyed your game so far, so I will happily see where your story goes
Hm, it's good to find this out before getting into the game. Deciding which girls to pursue or not instead of having your avatar quasi-raped by a love interest is probably the most basic function I'd want in a game about relationships and sex.
Now, you do you, it's your game. I'm just glad I found out before getting invested, although I must say I'd prefer it to be in an upfront warning rather than by chance in a random thread I was just lucky enough to see.
I am having the hardest time with this, possibly cause I'm on android, but nice to see an example of how it should look. Like I feel like I'm going insane or Umiko lied to me about the first one, haha
When the next update comes out (Days 12-13), There will be eventually be a free version released that includes days 9-11, though no $5/$20 bonuses will be present, of course.
I'm trying to get Days 12-13 out by the end of the month. I can't say with 100% certainty that it will be out by then, but my fingers are crossed and I'm working hard.
I never considered the situation you described with upgrading from the $5 to $20. If you're interested in that we can figure something out.
Each update that comes out will unlock the previous versions on the same tier. If you get the Days 12-13 $20 version, you'll get Days 9-11's $20 version automatically with it.
I also wanted to know if there was a discounted upgrade price to upgrade from the $5 to $20 version without having to pay the original $5 plus the extra $20 for the full version, as i have already bought the $5 version and played it and was thinking of upgrading and re playing with the Vespera Story added.
If you do ever add the upgrade ability, i think there will be lots of other people that would enjoy upgrading without having to spend $5 more than everybody who just bought the $20 version to start with instead of having to buy both versions seperatly for $5 more.
An upgrade patch to add the extra features into the original $5 version might be an option for a certain price like $15 so we can all pay the same price for the same game if we choose to upgrade or buy the full $20 version from the start.
I would love to know your thoughts on if an upgrade patch for each new $20 day update version would be feasable and could be made to work.
I love the game and i am eagery waiting for the next update to be released.
Yeah, I can respect that for sure. The most common complaint about Stranded in Space comes from its kinetic/not-open-world structure.
That's intended as you pointed out. I will say that similar to the three major decisions in the base 8 days (neighbor choice, girl waking up, locational memory recall) there are 3 more coming in the next update, Days 12-13. There will be a ton of routes/different scenes when the game is fully finished, which is kinda cool, right?
But it will still be a kinetic game. I did add the ability to skip sex scenes (in the Preferences section) if you really hate a character, but that's definitely as far as it'll go. I'm glad you still enjoy the game, and if there's ever another game that I make, it will be a counter to Stranded in Space's structure. Meaning it will be open-world/choose-your-interests based.
The other two suggestions I have: Make sure nothing else is in the game folder. On my phone I had an old patch still in there - Make sure the only file in the game folder is the game_scripts.rpa file.
Also, of course, you need the Days 9-11 APK. Elysium or Endurance edition. The old Days 1-8 APK won't work.
I'll keep that in mind, Samanosuke. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed the update!
No official walkthrough, I posted those tips in a stickied thread, but if you tell me your items/things you haven't made use of, I'd be happy to help.
well the things i havent used is the hammer the rest i need to find but i gotta admit its a nice puzzle but sat for 3 hours trying to figure out where the hammer is useful and the rest i need to find like the thing for that panel with a green and red button where you need to remove that thing if that makes sense
God damnit now the Zara choice too fuck I thought the Reagan one would be last! Ahhhhh I don't know what either of the entails I'm conflicted. Like I know the basic premise. 1: she basically becomes addicted to my d!ck and I feed into that. But I don't know how the others will perceive that or if that's even a factor at all. And 2: I help her cute her addiction but that's not even guaranteed at all. So much uncertainty! This choice caught me off guard I wasn't prepared lol.
I appreciate the conflicted feelings, lol. Most of these choices will be continually fleshed out with each update, so there is no doc walkthrough on what each choice creates -- for now.
With that said, all routes will lead to roughly the same amount of sexual content - just different ones in their entirety, for the most part.
One route shows Elsie with Sasha... I'm sure you can imagine what the bisexuality route of Elsie will entail.
The other route is Enlightenment with Gaia. Remember: There's roughly the same amount of sexual content in each route.
Choose what you want - there are no secret consequences. These major choices were made in a way to specifically avoid people who want to maximize sex scenes, and thus will choose against what they'd really prefer just to get more scenes. If you want Elsie in bisexual, three-way scenes, choose the Bi route. If you want pregnancy content, choose to impregnate Raegan.
It's dependent on the major choice, but nothing too negative, as this is a harem game.
Feeding Zara's addiction might lead to a sex scene with Alina - going the other route might lead to a sex scene with Gigi. Both of these would be without Zara present.
^ That's not a real example, but the major choices will sometimes lead to different content with other girls, just nothing majorly negative. The game's overall direction will always be to have sex with all the women all the time.
What about the other woman you didn't wake up? Are they going to eventually be in the game?👀 Heh even if you don't answer that question thank you for responding and clearing that up for me I appreciate it. Also wanted to say I'm really looking forward to how this game progresses and I'll be playing every release until it's done. It's one of the few games I check weekly to see if there's an update haha
Choices are also meant to create different routes - unique content. The other girl won't wake up, she's not part of the game if you didn't choose her. Same goes for all other choices - picking Lira as your neighbor means no Camila neighbor/her room scenes -- ever. Nothing unchosen is ever reused or arrived at later on in the story... like I said, major choices are meant to create unique content based on your decisions.
First, I just want to say thanks for the kind words. I work hard on this game and when I see someone enjoying it, it keeps me motivated.
1) The Elysium version of the game ($20) adds several scenes to the game - Earth flashbacks with the MC's first girlfriend/his time working in a strip club. Every update adds new scenes and new characters. The next update (Days 14-16) adds three new Elysium content scenes.
2) I'm about to finish the first "block" of Stranded in Space - I would estimate sometime in very early 2023 I'll likely be releasing something else, but for now, Stranded in Space is my first and only game.
3) Could Sasha be the culprit? Hmm...
4) The second block of Stranded in Space will add new features to the laptop section and "main" parts of the game. I'm really excited to release the first iteration of that, as I quite like the new features. There's a lot of great stuff in the works that will add value to the game and help me to manage scenes for 20+ girls.
5) You may be onto something...
Throughout Days 12-13, there are multiple Paige Codes that can be discovered/unlocked - these are then input in that ? on the Laptop.
One is found in the Escape Room, another within the Laptop bio page section during Day 13, and the last is found within Day 13 itself, early before the laptop session begins. These codes unlock bonus pictures for the laptop album section. More will be added to this with each update.
I appreciate the compliments about the spelling/grammar. Glad you're enjoying the game!
It isn't required to experience the different choice content- however, once you've played through a conversation on the laptop, when you play through it again there's an "S" at the top left of their picture (in the PM window) - you can skip through laptop chats by clicking this "S" - it'll either skip to a choice that needs to be made in the laptop chat or to the end.
They're all optional, you don't need to do any of them.
I may eventually add a method for making each new puzzle type easier, but that likely wouldn't be for a while, as I'm already in the midst of rendering the next update.
Some quick tips that might help?
Sliding puzzles with the 16th piece missing (such as all the ones in the game) are best worked on from top to bottom.
Match game you could screenshot, phone pic it, or write down the positions.
The final puzzle is more about knowing the game. Some of the questions are easier than others... through trial and error you could eventually memorize most of them, but again, it's probably not worth the effort.
Stranded in Space will be broken into multiple parts.
The first part will be 21 days. The next update will be Days 17-18, then 19-20, then 21, the final day. Then comes the next iteration of Stranded in Space, which will have a ton of improvements, changes, and better features. The total amount of days for the next iteration is yet undetermined, mostly my focus is on creating a worthwhile, satisfying amount of content per day.
In relation to your preference of waiting for a good chunk of days to play through—I get that, but each day is pretty long, especially beyond Day 12. Day 16, from a script length, is the longest day released so far (at 12k script lines). This is assuming you play through the different choices, like Elsie's bisexuality/Gaia scenes, as an example.
To answer your last question, I would love it if this next update (Days 17-18) could be done in 75-85 ish days. I can't guarantee anything but I'm trying!
Thanks so much for the fast response and the insight into your process. Wasn't trying to rush you or anything, honestly had no idea how much time it took as I don't really play these often. I'm actually pretty invested in the story, so I don't want to reach the end of current content yet and have to wait too long, but also don't want to stop, haha! I'm trying to figure out... yeah. Won't spoil here in case. But trying to figure out who is fun.
Any time you see a four-digit number, you should try it as a Paige Code. Here are a few clues below.
For instance, in the group chat of Day 16, a certain someone gives the MC a specific rating...
In the Lexi flashback on Day 15, Paige asks the MC what time is displayed on his watch.
She also talks about her PIN number during the Tiffany/Raegan threesome.
Leetspeak.
First, I sincerely appreciate the interest... if the Steam release does well there's a lot of cool stuff I have planned.
I'm in the process of adding sound/image improvements/writing improvements to the game as we speak. Once that's done, the exact Steam release date will be locked in.
I would say within the next month or two.
Thanks for replying. I hope Daz didn't torture you too much. So that's how you got this spaceship feel like a real place as well, that's interesting. You made the story very immersive with your efforts. Thank you very much for that.
The free version of the game didn't tease Kasumi, which begins around Day 11. With the paid version, you help her with the computers on Day 13.
Bro why isn't day 14 and above available for us android users bro u literally cliff hanged me at day 13 now am busy wondering who was that mysterious woman
I would actually really love to pay for it if it was available but that's another problem my county doesn't use dollar's , so I don't know how u can help me man I really need to know what happens next I've never been so excited about a game like before , please try to hit me up as soon as u get this much love
Steam doesn't support Android as a platform.
It's possible they'd be OK with you putting up the Android version as a free-for-purchasers downloadable extra (as some games do with soundtracks, art, etc), but I suspect they'll say no. I've never seen a game on steam do that, and I doubt I'm the first person to think of it. Plus I've already thought of a couple of problems with it, so yeah, I don't think that's happening.
Well, on September 1st I'll be releasing the game on Steam. It'll have Days 1-18, Elysium edition. Buying it will provide future days as free updates, of course. If you wishlisted it, I'd really appreciate it.
Stranded in Space on Steam (steampowered.com)
The incoming major choices that are left in the first game (Stranded in Space) are situational (or case by case), meaning you can freely choose which path to take when the time comes. The flashbacks and the way the MC acted throughout his amnesia year aren't just for backstory, though. It all has a purpose.
I'd describe it like, "Hey, this is who the MC was during his amnesia year. Do you enjoy this version of him?" If so, then make the decisions that lead him to being a bit more like his amnesia-year self if a major choice allows for such a distinction, which some do, and some future ones will, too.
The history ending, as you mention it, has a future major choice attached to it, it's just not influenced by any other major choices you've made.
Well, playing them from the main menu will work. I only added that warning because you open to a scene with you and Paige talking about stuff that would be super confusing if you were a first time user.
The scenes begin on Day 9, but you could definitely just play them from the main menu. The last scene naturally occurs on day 17.
No more content updates on Itch; have you joined the Discord? I've given out around 400 keys so far. Most are for longtime supporters + people who've bought the Elysium version over the last few updates, but I don't like that Itch players are missing out. It really wasn't in my plans to stop updating on Itch.
I would've loved to keep the game updated on Itch. Sadly, due to Itch's actions against me and my game, I can't. Sorry.
