Stellar Cartographer

A work-in-progress space exploration game which seeks to present a somewhat simple, puzzle-like experience akin to most space exploration games, whilst presenting a variety of planets to discover, anomalies to analyse, and events to experience. 

From the alpha release devlog: "An alpha release is an important milestone, but I do not wish to present the game as more than it currently is. Right now, it is more of a foundation - everything works, but the intrigue to keep the player engaged is not quite there yet. I estimate that it has about thirty minutes to an hour of playtime before it becomes dry (not including the tutorial) - beating the game takes two hours, so I definitely have work to do."

Current development outlook: I'd like to release version 1.0.0.0 before the end of 2025, as significant changes in my life around that time might leave the continued development of this project in question. In order to achieve this, I will have to lean heavily into creating dialogue and gameplay, and creating systems and practices to better optimise writing dialogue.
