How big is our ship

Sorry for the huge delay in my response! This is a really good question.

The easiest way to answer is that the main ship is big enough to contain several hundred people (at enough people for a stable colony population) in cryostasis, as well as a skeleton crew. There are also several smaller ships, one of which will eventually become yours.

If you're looking for a numerical answer, I'm not sure yet. I haven't done the math. If you'd like a comparably fictional example, the inspiration was the Hyperion from Mass Effect: Andromeda.

ASTERISM the artificial intelligence

ANAIS

Short for Autonomous Neural Artificial Intelligence System, Anais is a revolutionary artificial intelligence. One of a dozen that were concurrently created by the Stanton-Grant Corporation in an experiment that would change the world, Anais was coded in a lab by a group of engineers, scientists, and psychologists. Once the experimental subjects were chosen, she was brought online and introduced to you, her partner.

Communicating primarily via text and voice, you and Anais became very close over the ensuing year. After all, you were about to become a part of one another. If you didn't get along with her, the implants would likely fail, or at the very least, cause you both extreme distress.

But the integration want smoothly, and now, you can't imagine life without your partner.

In Apotheosis, who are the optional romance encounters? If it is something you are willing to share? Also I am already in love with the stroy!!!!!!

Excellent question!

With the caveat that this may change as I continue writing the story, at this point they are:

A healer who helps you recover from your injuries near the beginning of the game (and may show up later).

A blacksmith and enchanter who offers to create the Guardian's new weapons (who happens to be Nasir's master's rival).

I'm super excited for Asterism! Honestly both your games look cool but I've always thought that first contact situations that don't devolve into immediate violence were just so interesting. Most of the time, stories with positive relation to aliens start well after first contact, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the situation evolves (and romancing the aliens of course).

Oh thank you so much for your interest!

I adore first contact stories, so I'm really excited to finally write one. Romancing aliens is definitely a bonus, I feel.

And while there may be violence involved in Asterism, it's very much not the main focus. Though how well the different species get along is very much up to the player!

july 2024 update;

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on this blog. I'm so sorry about that! Life has been busy — I have a new job, a new major in school, and I'm still hard at work writing both stories.

I plan on opening up beta slots sometimes in September/October, but that could easily change. Keep an eyes out here for more updates!

I have a few questions in my inbox — I'll get to them soon. Meanwhile, if you are curious about anything, feel free to send and ask.

Coming next: Character introductions! Through the rest of the summer I'll be releasing character descriptions and outlines for the romance option in both Apotheosis and Asterism.

january update:

I've been extremely busy with school and very much lacking in regards to inspiration. writer's block sucks. so I've mostly been researching coding.

I'm considering making the switch from ChoiceScript to Twine, though I'm really not sure. I do want to decide before I have to rewrite too much, however.

Asterism and Apotheosis both have about 500 words so far, not counting coding. I'm still working on the overeaching plots of both, though I have a lot of bullet points.

finally, thank you so much to everyone who has followed and interacted with this blog! I've gotten much more interest than I anticipated, and I've been a bit shy about it. But I'm still here, and stil writing. if you want more updates, you can check out my personal writeblr, @morphaeus.

while i understand why a lot of sci-fi has humans being shitty to AIs while the AIs are like “i am just existing what the fuck” I think it’d be fun to do the opposite. Homo “will packbond with anything” sapiens DESPERATELY trying to get the favor and friendship of an Artificial Intelligence that is mostly indifferent to them. They want the ship’s computer to like them sooooo fucking bad!!

From the furthest reaches of the Milky Way to far beyond, you play as The Captain, one of the few humans who have volunteered to be partnered with an Artificial Intelligence System by way of neurological implants. You work for the U.N. in 2XXX, and your ship, The UNIS Inquisitor, is in deep space, searching for more natural resources for an ever-greedy humanity.

Soon, however, all of that will change.

Farther from Earth than any ship has ever gone before, your ship's sensors pick up something impossible. A ship, and not a human one, is approaching your trajectory.

As the ship's ranking officer, it's your responsibility to make first contact. But you don't just find a lone ship. You discover a massive galactic community that has been thriving for centuries.

But the crew of the Inquisitor soon discovers that AI are outlawed by the Alliance, and your connection to you AI might doom humanity’s chance to join the galactic community as equals — and cost you your life. Ordered by Earth to keep her a secret and use her abilities to infiltrate the alien society, You reluctantly becomes humanity’s de facto representative.

With a whole new galaxy to explore and cultural miscommunication abound, You will soon become torn between your duty to your people, your ideals, and the amazing worlds you discover.

Play as The Captain, negotiate first contact with aliens, and explore the newfound galactic community. 

Customize your character — choose your gender (female, male, non-binary), pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them), appearance (height, weight, skin color, hair color, scars, tattoos, & piercings), and backstory.

pages pack by @taezs​. includes: member page, about page, and tags page.

i received an anon request for a character/network page with a matching about page, but i’m a sucker for tags pages so i threw one of them in there too. note: you do not have to have different colours for each section, this is just a design example. instructions & tips on editing the pages in the codes. 

all three pages heavily feature the honeybee icon font by @suiomi, because it’s gorgeous and extremely versatile. this pack is a bit cosmic inspired in the icons used so if that’s not your style then you’re welcome to change them to other honeybee icons - instructions in the code and also on the honeybee website. it’s pretty easy to follow and make your own. also be sure to check out the “customisation options” filter on the members page to see other styling options.

icons featured on the characters page by @acuite, icons on the tags page by @leethompkins​. all other creds here.
