Crypterion is an open-world visual novel in a distant future where anyone can rise to power—including you. As a new arrival in the Rimshot system, you are free to forge your own destiny, conquering space by mastery of trade, politics, celebrity status through galactic TV or... Other means.
Starting today from Jan 8-15 is the [b]Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest[/b]. Besides the heavy discount, I am working on a major update.
[h2]What it's about:[/h2]
Crypterion is perfect for this festival! The primary goal of the game is make money. That money is then spent to make even more money... and then that money is spent on in-game treasures, building and acquiring assets, gifts, and unlocking memorable moments with your crew.
[b]Crypterion is heavy on adventure[/b], dialogue and choices. You go on T.V., become a celebrity, build a small business from the ground up, go on vacation, add paintings to a gallery, attend auctions, and make friends and enemies.
[h2]The Voyage Update:[/h2]
Over a year ago, some files of mine corrupted. That was supposed to be part 2 of Voyage update (found in the old roadmap). In December I set out the daunting task to re-create that content and that is what I'm working to deliver next. These are the details:
The voyage update was meant to provide players with scenarios uniquely their own. As such, you may discover events that other players may not. To do this, I'm expanding the Sunny Dae newsletter to include 52 unique scenarios. Many of these scenarios will appear in the game world to find[i] (most on the galaxy map)[/i]
In the current build, you will sometimes notice ships or other objects roaming the galaxy. Clicking these will give you experiences:
- Each event averages 6 pages of dialogue.
- Most events have choices leading to several alternate pages of dialogue. So even thought this will be a content heavy update, there is no guarantee you will find the event, or you will miss half of the content because of a choice you made.
- Events can have rewards
[h2]Known events:[/h2]
[i]These are the events I am re-creating from my lost data. Some events subject to change.

^ This isn't the first time I've added hidden events. This one in particular is really fun!
[h2]Expected release date:[/h2]
I wanted to get it done in time for the festival, but alas, if I keep my current pace it will be done this month. I also created a new function that makes it so hidden events will not repeat. So I had to overhaul my dialogue engine a bit.
