One of the big areas we've been improving on in Starstruck Vagabond the last few months of development is the environmental art to make planets feel a bit more unique!
Wishlist Starstruck Vagabond on Steam:
Yes, you can recruit a bear to be on your crew in Starstruck Vagabond.
Not sure it's a good idea to try and pet it though.

No, we're not ready to share a release date yet before you ask that a bunch of times!
Here, have a wallpaper for Starstruck Vagabond.
In return, you can wishlist the game on Steam today so that you're prepared to deliver crates all over the galaxy when the game launches.
Since the project has gone commercial we cannot post updates on The Escapist going forward, so we’ll be sharing soon where you can find continued updates about Starstruck Vagabond.
We know you want to watch the Starstruck Vagabond trailer again, so here it is on YouTube... on the Yahtzee19 channel... yea, we remembered the password.
It works kinda like Persona - you build up a relationship score with a crew member, then when it reaches a certain point, you unlock a special cutscene to advance their story to the next stage. I would like to stress that there is no gift giving involved. (cont)
Review Requests for Starstruck Vagabond are now open!
We'll be announcing the release date very soon.

As well as Nick helping out with production, we have an original soundtrack from Sam Houghton and Joe Collinson (the BPM guys) and some additional art by El Cheshire (who does a lot of stuff for Adventure is Nigh) -

Core gameplay loop is what drives everything. Broadly speaking, the story is mainly about telling you to where to go to see the next important event and letting you drift over there at your own pace. -

@YahtzeeCroshaw
will the story consist largely of unique “events” like boss fights, missions with special rules, etc. or will it mostly be the regular core gameplay loop with cutscenes adding context?
Yep, that's health. It's what you start losing when you're out of stamina and keep trying to work, or breathe where there isn't any atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend doing either of those things because health is a lot harder to get back. -

@YahtzeeCroshaw
I haven't seen the red bar being used so far. Is it health? If so, what could make you loose it? Considering combat is not planned
Current team is Yahtzee and then
@nickjcal
(I run this account) who is handling marketing, publisher pitching and some help with producing!
@CheshireIlustra
is also helping with art now!
@SSVagabond
@YahtzeeCroshaw
It's "we" and "us" now - so how big is the team behind this currently? Only Yahtzee and a community manager, or some more peeps working on some parts of the game itself?
