I’ve been slowly slogging through my labor of love, “The People of the Frontier”
Demo Here: CoGDemos
SUMMARY:
You will play as a Captain of a Carrier Battleship in the Terran Federal Republic Navy. A multipolar galaxy sits in cold war stalemate as powers and ideology jockey for advantage and a rebellion sits in the frontier. The MC is in the perfect place to be pulled in all directions, from chaebol corporate families, young upstarts, political factions, and foreign agents. Make choices, build relationships, choose sides, or try to stay neutral in a heavily polarized world where choosing sides is both a safety and a cost.
ROMANCE:
Planned ~ 6 RO’s
CONTENT WARNING:
Alcohol
War crimes
Profanity
Violence
CUSTOMAIZATION:
Male, Female, Non-Binary. Most choices purely aesthetic as of now. Will update as things progress.
MISC. INFO:
I have been working slowly, but surely on the world alongside the book. I’m open to suggestions and feedback on anything about the project.
I will be working on it steadily.
2 Chapters available
UPDATE LOG:
SEP 26, 2026

5 minutes in and already receiving threats from a commanding officer. I sense a stressful future ahead.
Really interesting demo so far, I look forward to seeing it continued.
Maybe let non-binary PCs choose how the crew address them? The mx feels a bit stiff in that context to me.
Thank you for the feedback. Ill definitly add that
I personally think that the opening text should probably specify that it wants your first name, as it’s presently a little unclear.
Do you mind enabling saving or a back button to help with playtesting?
Small thing: hit enter for this line to divide the paragraphs.
“Another day,” you say to yourself.
You pop in the stiff mouthpiece as the scrubbers clean your teeth, then spit the blue foam into the sink before placing the device in its washing stand.
I like the imagery used. Immersive.

Back button is enabled at the top when I was play testing through the link. I’m not sure why it isn’t showing for you.
And thank you, I have a number of those visual hiccups I’ve noticed
Some of the buttons appear to you in your own games if you’re logged in on cogdemos, even though they’re disabled for someone else. If you’re unsure, log out and refresh (or use incognito mode) to see how it appears for others.

Yep, it’s there even when not logged in. I’m unsure how to to fix that if it isn’t appearing for others
For those who have given a read, thank you first of all, but how did the characters and dialogue feel? I also tend to struggle with writing prose that isn’t filler
i finished playing it and i really like it but i would like a codex or something to describe the alien species because i cant imagine how they look, sorry if its my reading comprehension other than that i cant say because its still just the introduction
Good luck
