This is a scenario I love, and it was super funny to me as I made it only because I was told he would be jealous over me having another character

Game “infinite stars” by @infinitestarsdev

but anyway i was too shy to put this in the infinite stars discord so here you go. my ramblings and ocs and probably wildly incorrect lore about the mah'abeu training facility and the painkillers kiaria doesn't like ^^

Hi folks, I have some very exciting news to share with all of you! For once, Merlin doesn’t bring you a vision of doom.

I've been talking with James from Infinite Stars, and I managed to secure Patreon trial access to their content as a thank you for all your amazing support! Your trial will allow you to access the Infinite Stars Patreon content at the Lieutenant tier, including the latest Patreon version of the game.

Let me introduce you to Infinite Stars, a science fiction visual novel with fantastic world building and a great story. You play as a "Mah'Abeu" shrouded in secrecy, sent on a secret mission to intervene and prevent the collapse of the fragile Human and Cephilusk alliance.

You can customise your Mah'Abeu over 600+ possible choices, and 114,000+ words of story as you choose your pronouns, your gender, and hundreds of other actions that subtly shape your character's personality and relationships.

To celebrate, we have some awesome things in store for you! You can play this short little scene where Merlin shares one of his curious visions about the future. What’s more, you can also customise your Mah'Abeu and play as Galahad du Lac's great-great-many-great grandchild, who still resembles Gally in appearance!

Aaaaaand as an extra little treat for everyone who’s been showing their love and support for The Bastard of Camelot, I will be making the very beginning of chapter 5 public! (Note: it’s not the whole of the Patreon/Kofi demo content, but enough to give you a taste of the new chapter and a look at Elaine!) On top of that, you can jump straight into it with the shiny and new quick-start character creation. Play the update here!

Give them a follow on Itchio, or download Infinite Stars on Steam (without the Patreon content.) 

If you like what James and his crew are doing, please consider supporting them on Patreon. 

Check out their tumblr here!

​Happy Friday! It's a cold one today.

But it's also a good one, because...

It's release day! ::whoop whoop::

The new public build is live on itchio and Steam, and patrons can find the PC|MAC|LINUX version here, and ANDROID over here!

The release almost didn't happen today. Our Patreon page was briefly suspended for a few (12ish?) hours yesterday. Just a small snafu on Patreon's side, which has now been resolved. (Shout-out to Sjal from Patreon's Trust and Safety team! They were quick to sort out the issue, without having to engage in a back-and-forth delay! ::virtual hug::)

But now that the release is back on track, I want to introduce you to a game that recently came across my radar when several Infinite Stars fans recommended it in their collections next to Infinite Stars: Killer Trait by Pri Karin.

The premise of Killer Trait is quite fun! You play as a cop who teams up with Oz, a serial killer. ::dun dun dun:: I could say more, but honestly, if that line doesn't pique your interest, I doubt an essay will change your mind. <3

It's a very charming game, with beautiful aesthetics and masterful use of sound effects. ::feels inspired:: and Pri Karin does a really cool thing with Fawna's anger using blue, green, and red flames. I won't spoil it, but I thought it was pretty smart!

Also, for a limited time, you can get a Killer Trait: Oz plushie, but only if the minimum order quantity of 30 is reached before the 8th of May. If you're a fan of Killer Trait and Oz, you might want to consider getting your very own angry plushie to cuddle with. He's over here, waiting for you, and glaring at you.

In other exciting news, our Keymailer campaign went live today as well. If you are a content creator, you might qualify for some really great freebies for yourself and your followers!

That's it for me! I'm surviving my wife's intense nesting compulsions (I love her to death, and do it with love, no shade on her) as we continue to prep for the little one's imminent arrival.

Devlog 2026-05-29

Happy Friday! It's been a few weeks since I've posted a devlog. Most of you know why, but for those who don't, my newborn baby has arrived and is keeping us busy. <3

I'm officially on baby leave and will likely be working at a much slower pace for at least another week or two, and I'm extremely grateful for all of my Patrons who make it possible.

In the meantime, Tae has finished up another gorgeous portrait that will be in-game soon, and she is still working on the 10 community-made characters.

I haven't been writing as much as I would have liked the last two weeks, but I'm giving myself grace to slow down. I planned to have the Matthias scene finished this month, but it hasn't happened. Priorities and the burden/privilege (depending on how you feel) of keeping an infant alive.

We have, however, made some minor progress on Veera's backstory, as it was pointed out that her current history is different but parallel to Kiaria's.

In other news, the toxic yuri jam is officially starting next Monday, and we haven't forgotten about the HRM workshop we need to schedule for all of you who want to create your own playable Infinite Stars side stories.

Being on 'forced' baby leave has allowed me to take a breath and re-evaluate a bunch of things. Ironically, it has also allowed me to catch up with day-job admin work that has been long, long overdue. All in all, it has made me realise that I am still very much excited about and working on Infinite Stars. I'm feeling inspired, much like I did when I originally started working on the project, which is a good sign.

Devlog 2026-03-27 (New public build)

Happy Friday! Strap in, this is going to be a big one!

I’m doing well, my family is well, (They had some flu earlier this week, but that’s over!) Dobby is doing well (He’s currently sitting behind my back with his head on my shoulder as he always does.)

Now that that’s out of the way, Infinite Stars! <3 (I also have a favour to ask a bit further down!) The huge public release is going out today. (It’s already out! You can download and play all the new content right now! For free! <3) It continues Episode 4 and paves the way for its climax and wrap-up. Depending on how good you are at avoiding FOMO and Discord spoiler tags, you might already know a few things about the content, but to summarise, it’s very different from what you’ve been used to, it has some big emotional punches, and it does a few new things. I was nervous about this at first, but the feedback has been excessively positive. That’s all I’ll say. Go try it!

I’ve also updated the Patreon builds. They have a lick of new content, and a ton of fixes, especially for the Android version, which should no longer have any UI issues!!

Next is the HRM contest we’re planning.

Anyone can participate. And it’s really easy. All you need to do for now is write a short story or scene taking place on the Tabitha. It can feature the Mah’Abeu, the established crew or your OC characters. (We’ve found a solution for implementing OC characters on the screen!) Your story can also take place off-ship, but you might have to settle for plain black backgrounds. Regardless, start writing! It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be ready when we have the next HRM workshop! <3

I've given the store page an update, you'll notice the gorgeous new cover image!

I’ve been focusing on marketing these past few weeks, building funnels and lead magnets, testing some paid ads, etc. This is where you come in.

Infinite Stars is free because I grew up in South Africa, and I know that for some of us, a $5 Patreon pledge a month is one cup of coffee less in our budget, but for most of the world, $5 is several hours of hard work. I don’t expect or even want you to support us financially if that is your reality. There are, however, other ways you can support us, like posting about or linking to Infinite Stars wherever you go! (Did you know we have a super secret ‘Fedaykin’ title with super secret rewards for when we notice a fan in the wild consistently helping out like that?)

Devlog 2026-05-08

Happy Friday!

It's another cold one in the Southern Hemisphere today, but our local temperatures should increase over the next few days to a more comfortable cold, rather than the current icy cold. My shrimp tanks (and my electricity bill) will be glad.

Just a heads up: I have one, maybe two more weekly devlogs before the newest addition to our family is born. I think I've blocked out most of the trauma from the first one (Trauma being sleepless nights and all that jazz), and there is a good chance that I'll be MIA for a bit. I'll continue working on Infinite Stars, though, as I do find it genuinely enjoyable.

Talking of Infinite Stars, we're getting close to wrapping up and starting on coding the monstrous new scene for Matthias. Personally, I'm aiming to have it be released before the end of this month. (And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for the meddling kids!) I think it's still doable, but I am giving myself some grace.

The story continuation content is also coming along bit by bit. Since inception, I've always wanted a system where your MC can 'adopt' a small colony and influence the well-being of all the souls living there, for good or for bad. The last bit of Episode 4 will finally allow me to do so! I'm very excited for it.

Tae has been drawing the ten new crew members created by your fellow community members from the promotion we had last year, and she is also working on two new Patreon portraits. (If you're a paying patron, I appreciate you so much. Your support allows me to physically continue working on Infinite Stars, a project I love dearly.)

If you've been joining any of the recent live streams on Discord, you should have seen the new comms station background that Stoffies has been working on. If you haven't, you are welcome to join the Discord and hop in on any of the streams as and when they happen. Anyone is welcome. The comms station is where Reyna will be found most of the time.

We've also been planning and messing around with concepts for the upcoming toxic yuri game jam, and I'm sort of, kind of very excited for it. As always, we use these game jams to try new concepts and ideas like the text-heavy interface we tried with Thalassaphilia (which has recently been taken off the shelf, with new backgrounds being done for it) and the mobile-first UI we tried for Unclaimed. Or the comicbook aesthetic we're using for the yet unreleased Project Syndicate. For the toxic yuri jam, we're exploring deeply flawed, terrible characters with a very distinct writing style.

Other than that, my time is mostly consumed with getting everything ready for the new arrival, getting work structured in such a way that everything doesn't explode while I'm gone, and stressing about all of it, as one does.
