Hello dear reader,
Welcome to Ocean between the Stars, this little project of mine that the combination of ADHD and Corona induced sitting at home has brought forth.
To play the WIP-version, click here
Description: It is the year 2778. You are born into the reign of Emperor Heiron August IV., it is mostly a time of peace, although war and conflict is never far of, as the Empire is always threatened by hostile aliens on the outside and the backstabbing machinations of the imperial court on the inside. It is a cruel and heartless place, as uncaring to those at the bottom as it is to those at the top.
On the forefront of the imperial defence stands the Imperial Navy, an old and powerful instutution, whose mighty fleets are always the first to challenge those that would threaten the Empires continued existence.
This is your story. The story of how you join the Navy to make a name to yourself, serve the Empire or protect your fellow humans from the horros lurking in the ocean between the stars or hiding within your own ranks.

Some quick addenda:
Please read:
Is this as grimdark as the description above?
Not really, it just sounds better. Currently it is planned more Star Wars-ish, although without magic monks. There will a exploration of the more heavy themes that come with an expansionist, authoritharian monarchy but these are still somewhat off.
Planning status/update frequency?
I have a general idea of where this story should go and a detailed plan of the prolouge/chapter 1.
Updates will not be regular. University takes up a lot of my time and I have some other hobbies that are very time consuming. To keep track if I am currently working on this consult the Working status indicator.
RO/Game mechanics/background decriptions?
Will add them when these things are certain, currently the ROs are only mentioned in code, I am still irresolute about wether there will be stats at all or not or if your abilities are more defined by yes/no variables.
Feedback:
Please read
What can you do dear reader?
Tell me what you liked.
Positive feedback sustains me.
Tell me what you did not like.
Without criticism one can never improve, specifiy what you did not like and why.
Spelling and grammer mistakes.
English is not my first language. I made so many mistakes that I would say donāt bother telling me of them except they are especially severe. I will try to catch most of them when the current WIP-chapter is finished and in the rework-phase.
I wrote about something in a bad way or in bad taste.
I am probably just uninformed, not malicious. Tell me what exactly I did wrong and how I could improve it.
You have ideas?
I would love to hear them, although I reserve my right to decide what is added and what is not.
Found weird flow or a pronoun that does not match?
Copy the text so I know where to look and give a description.

ROs:
Summary
Riley Keller
1.75m/5"9", blue eyes, blond hair. Offspring of the Keller-family, a sideline of the Imperial family, but the relationship seems strained. Keller has a degree with perfect grades from the Imperial Officers School and has won the Wargame-Tournament every year they were at the School, as well as an impressive general education.
What they gain in book smartness they loose in practical application. Their overly rethinking nature and undecisiveness holding them back considerably.
Have fun reading and, of course, have a nice day.

- Finished writing prologue chapter.

25. August 2020 Small emergency update
Changed the way the player chooses height.
keep on the good work, and at the beginning, It read Prolouge 
The setting and the flow of the game looks great to me, however I found multiple spelling errors at the first 10 pages of the story and so on. Something like misplaced words: to - too, be - bee; and etc. Nothing serious. Also, when we meet Captain Van [something, sorry Iām just terrible with names], the pronounces keep switching back and forth.
