If you just stumbled upon this, I am Adrienne, also known as insertdisc5! I’m the developer, writer, artist, main programmer, etc of the game. The game being In Stars and Time, a timeloop RPG, which is also the next and final game in the START AGAIN series, following START AGAIN: a prologue (available [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691420/START_AGAIN_a_prologue/]here[/url]!). You can find out more about In Stars and Time [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677310/In_Stars_And_Time/]here[/url]!!! So many things happened this month!!! Let's go in order. In Stars and Time was showcased at The Mix, a games showcase in LA! Or, well... That was the plan. [img]https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42149522/8a4ff97a20eb55c07443ae6fa63b74b2cc4a3948.png[/img] The Mix got canceled. Which sucks. But!!! Thankfully, Jirard the Completionist acted immediately and streamed a bunch of the demos over on Twitch! You can watch my producer Dora and marketing coordinator Ariana present the game to Jirard over [url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1841576924?t=4h7m6s]here[/url]! Thank you for playing so many demos, Jirard!!! After that, we showed a new small gameplay trailer during Future of Play! It includes two little scenes you may not have seen yet :3c As well as a little announcement! [previewyoutube=9Jx4M_TE_T4;full][/previewyoutube] Yes, you saw that right. In addition to PC and Nintendo Switch, [b]In Stars and Time will also be coming to Playstation 4 and 5 at release!!![/b] YAHOO!!! And then. Steam Next Fest. Steam Next Fest is one of Steam's events where a bunch of devs can show off demos for their game! And ISAT was in it!!! Steam Next Fest is over, but [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677310/In_Stars_And_Time/]did you know you can still play the [b]ISAT demo[/b]?[/url] DID YOU KNOW?!? One week is not enough time to experience all the games Steam Next Fest has to offer, so we’ve decided to keep it online a bit longer! Go play it! Go!!! [img]https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42149522/3b643d467f60d71cfa8842f6d26683d26984ee39.png[/img] We have gotten so many compliments and messages about how people loved the demo, and I couldn't be happier!!! I think I watched all the times people streamed the demo, and it was so fun to see people's reactions... It made my heart feel so warm... [b]Thank you to everyone who played the demo, wishlisted the game, or said the game looked cool!!![/b] (And yes I've been taking notes and I will change some stuff in the full release. I promise Sif won't say there's only one stool in a room when there's clearly three!!!!!) As part of Steam Next Fest, I did a livestream of the demo for one hour!!! I got to play the demo, answer questions, and talk with a bunch of lovely fans <3 It was so fun, it made me want to stream more... One day, perhaps... If you missed it, you can watch the recorded stream here! [previewyoutube=0tbNmeeE6N4;full][/previewyoutube] And on the development side, the console ports and the localization are chugga-chugga-chuggin'! We are working hard to fix some little bugs and add some small QOL updates. And, oh! Someone over on Tumblr asked me about how I did the battle AI in the demo, as well as attack patterns. Here's a little passage to wet your appetite: [img]https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42149522/c4efb2a6d6c8a5e64024441ea00d6d56c4041f4c.png[/img] You can read the whole thing over on [url=https://insertdisc5.tumblr.com/post/721139331314679808/possibly-odd-question-im-trying-to-prepare-to]Tumblr[/url]!!! And as a last little note, START AGAIN: a prologue, ISAT’s prototype, is on sale over on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691420/START_AGAIN_a_prologue/]Steam[/url] and [url=https://insertdisc5.itch.io/start-again-prologue]Itch.io[/url]! It’s not necessary to play to understand ISAT, but mayhaps… You’d like to play it anyway…?

Let me know if you have any questions, or if there’s any aspect of the game development struggle you’d like me to talk about! See you next time!!! AND DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM ALSO IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE STEAM’S ALGORITHM IS MORE LIKELY TO SHOW OFF GAMES WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF WISHLISTS THAT’S THE REASON WHY GAME DEVS ALWAYS ASK TO WISHLIST!!! OKAY BYE!!!!
