Just a another artwork of Noel. This time doing one of his favourite things. ReadingDoes Noel really wear reading glasses? I don't know. He's wearing them here though. Because. Mm hmm.As always you can find several different resolutions down below.

Yren Wallpaper (Shiny Pants Edition)
Hellooo everyone!Just uploading a new wallpaper - Yren and shiny pants. The general consensus was that it would be nice to include all the extra art I've done in the music room gallery. I haven't added any of it yet but I kind of wanted to do vague "sets" of similar art. I have this set of images where the characters are wearing very shiny pants or else are in moody/neon lighting. (Or both if you are Raif) So I wanted that to be m...
Early Access and Beta 2.3 Update (new CGs)
Hi everyone!This is just to let you know that I've updated the current Episode 2 EA and Beta versions with the 2.3 version that has some error fixes, typo fixes and the final two CGs for Noel and Yren.The bonus scene should now reflect the proper skin tone now as well.That's all!
Question about Music Room Gallery
Should I include all the extra art I've posted to Patreon in the game as unlockables in the music room?That's it. That's the question.I've posted a fair bit of character art here and I was wondering if I should include cropped, smaller version as part of the music room gallery and let players unlock them as they play. The full sizes would remain available here on Patreon only.

Hello everyone! Time for this week's updates! This is showing up very late in the day because certain people who live in the same house as me can't not interrupt me non-stop while trying to write up these updates.I won't name those people but you know who they are.

04/01/2024 Patreon Check-in
Helllooooo~oooooo everyone! Patreon update coming to you from 14 km away from the usual location.Which is a nerdy way of saying that I have moved locations and am typing this from the new house which currently looks like a cardboard and suitcase apocalypse but has functioning internet. A functioning tea pot. And locatable tea in the cupboard.All the essentials.As you can imagine, I did not get much done dev-wise this week....BUT. I did actually d...
Planet Lore (Ecelin)
The third in the planetary lore series - Ecelin, Daaz's homeworld.Daaz is one of the few characters actually born on the homeworld of his people. Many of the other characters (Asher, Noel, Raif, Wil, etc) were born on colony worlds instead.As always you can find a PDF version below for those who want a text version.
Planet Profile (Mylora)
A new planet and species profile - Mylora. You can find a PDF version below.One fun fact about both Raif and Yren is that despite the two of them being the oldest LIs, they are both considered quite young in the context of their species. Even Raif - who is 67 UC standard years, would be viewed by most Myloriens as being similar in age to Asher, the youngest of the LIs.Yren, in particular, despite being older than Noel, is viewed as barely even an...
Episode 2 - Patreon Early Access
Hi everyone!Welcome to the Early Access version of WSC Episode 2.PLEASE READ:I wanted to let you all know that this version of Early Access is missing two CGs (one for Noel and one for Yren) as I simply did not have time to get them finished before I really needed to release this.Additionally, the bonus scene is not yet beta tested and likely has typos in it. Again, I just did not/do not have time to do a testing run of it.It looks like I will be...
Planet Profile (Earth)
I decided to post up the profiles of various planets and species that appear in the game starting with the most basic of basic..........................Earth. Ha ha.Well, everyone is pretty familiar with this planet but it's nice to start with the familiar since it gives a baseline for the other planets I'll be posting down the line.You can find a PDF attachment below.

Hello everyone! Sorry for the slightly delayed update. For those on my server, you know it was a really rough week. Ha ha.They are doing construction two houses down from us on both sides. Putting in a pool on one side and demolishing a house on another.It's been incredibly loud early every morning which is a bad combination with insomnia.End result, I'm exhausted. Well and truly.It's been hard to work on things because I'm so tir...
Inyudhi Vocab
Here is a vocab list for Iyudhi, Daaz's native language. Ecelin doesn't have a global language like Mylora. Inyudhi is spoken primarily on the Night Side of the world but isn't the only language used by the Kuyu.This language is also spoken by fluently by Gates.Daaz doesn't use this language a whole lot in the game but there are a few phrases that come up here and there.You can find this list in PDF form below. As always, these lo...

December Q&A (Answers)
Here are the Q&A Answers for December!Isn't it dangerous for The Ophelia to let Asher go down to the dark world they're investigating at the beginning? If something unforeseen had happened to him, would they have been able to get out of the black hole? I can imagine it would be difficult to stop him, but from a logistic standpoint, isn't he their only way to fold space?Short answer:Yes they would have been able to get out of the black...
Ny'Fuian Vocab
Hallo! Here is a short list of Ny'Fuian vocab words. Ny'Fuian is the global language of Mylora and is spoken natively by Raif and Yren. Gates also speaks it fluently.You will catch a few Ny'Fuian phrases here and there throughout the game.Mostly you catch bits of it in the form of Raif cursing though. Ha ha.You can find this image in PDF form below.As always, these lore posts are Patreon exclusives - please do not repost them off this...

Beta Update

But I have made a lot of corrections and also corrected the error that was causing the Chapter 4 flowchart to crash when zooming.It's also not lagging any more.Asher has a new CG and I think I implemented a Kav CG right after the previous release.There is a new background that shows during...

One time. I drew Daaz.And he was very shiny.That's it. That's the post.(I'm very tired this week. Too tired for typing. Ha ha. But not too tired to post character art).Okay I lied.The story behind this one is that I started this and got it sketched out but then didn't like it and drew something else instead. And then one day I discovered all these half-finished sketches of Daaz. And I decided to finish them.And this is the first o...

Episode 2 Sneak Peeks
Here are a couple of clips from the start of Episode 2. Most of the characters do not have facial expressions yet. So everyone but the MC will just be staring judgementally. But you do get a glimpse part of the first meeting with Kav from the next episode.WhenStarsCollide - 20 October 2024 - Watch Video(In this clip, Wil's expression will seem to get stuck for a bit but that's because a CG is going to go there so there's not a reason ...
