Hey folks. I’m kind of working on this at my own pace at the moment.
Shattered Stars: Echoes of War is a game dealing with the fallout of the First Galactic War (just the Galactic War in lore at the time period this game takes place), and navigating political and infrastructural challenges associated with the managing of a colony focused on reclaiming a lost world. Dozens of tangential but related ‘quests’ are planned, and currently the demo is around 10,000 words ACAPI. I’m adding more as things go along.
There are also 4 potential characters other than the MC and characters that are always included, 5 characters that can’t be romanced (do not the dog), and an additional 16 characters who can be romanced (all potential optional characters have romance options) for a total of 25 unique characters, not including characters with no code associated with them.
Will you be able to lead your colony to greatness? Or will you fumble the opportunity granted to you and end as a footnote in the appendix of history? Let’s find out as we explore an alien world together.
I’ve got a few plans for this game and hopefully it’ll be pretty big once it’s done. Technically even with 10,000 ACAPI, we’re not even out of the character creation section yet.
There are a few sections that aren’t done. If you see ‘UNDER CONSTRUCTION’ and nothing else, that means that there’s nothing past that point.
I’m still hunting a few bugs too. Any help is appreciated.

7/28/2026 Update:
The last few pages of the coming update are being added tonight. They should be finished either tonight or tomorrow evening at the latest (ideally). Please keep in mind, I have not tested this code yet which may delay its launch by another day or two.
Planned additions to existing conversations include flavor text for the bar scene, additional conversation options for Miller and Clark (though both remain functional) as well as additional conversation options during the bar scene with everyone (though many variables are set by current conversations, we’ll definitely add some things if you guys want to make suggestions).
After “chapter one” (which is really just the necessary choices and such to introduce your character) you’ll be let out into the world properly. You can expect:
- Distinct zones that can be visited and revisited. In fact, revisiting will sometimes turn up additional things in that zone that weren’t there before. And sometimes revisiting can introduce new threats too…
- Multiple unique “quests” per chapter (jobs, exploration, whatever you want to refer to them as) which will expand your knowledge (in and out of character) of Foxlon, its people, and other towns, homesteads, and settlements that exist out there.
- Multiple planets in your star system to visit. Most of them won’t have their own zones, but you’ll be able to settle outposts on these worlds to rake in extra resources, do quests on their surface, explore them, and try not to die in the process.
- Further character exploration is planned as well. Mostly the ‘one on one’ scenes that many games have, though group conversations will likely be the staple of the game.
- The introduction of an optional character in the first chapter… a surprise tool that’ll help us later.
Hope you guys will enjoy the update tomorrow (tonight? I’ll let you know when I post it) and hope you’re having fun with the demo.
on my project, because, goodness, it’s so weird.
