Crypterion Voyage Update!

Jan 8

Starting today from Jan 8-15 is the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest. Besides the heavy discount, I am working on a major update.

What it's about:

Crypterion is perfect for this festival! The primary goal of the game is make money. That money is then spent to make even more money... and then that money is spent on in-game treasures, building and acquiring assets, gifts, and unlocking memorable moments with your crew.

Crypterion is heavy on adventure, dialogue and choices. You go on T.V., become a celebrity, build a small business from the ground up, go on vacation, add paintings to a gallery, attend auctions, and make friends and enemies.

The Voyage Update:

Over a year ago, some files of mine corrupted. That was supposed to be part 2 of Voyage update (found in the old roadmap). In December I set out the daunting task to re-create that content and that is what I'm working to deliver next. These are the details:

The voyage update was meant to provide players with scenarios uniquely their own. As such, you may discover events that other players may not. To do this, I'm expanding the Sunny Dae newsletter to include 52 unique scenarios. Many of these scenarios will appear in the game world to find (most on the galaxy map)

In the current build, you will sometimes notice ships or other objects roaming the galaxy. Clicking these will give you experiences:

- Each event averages 6 pages of dialogue.
- Most events have choices leading to several alternate pages of dialogue. So even thought this will be a content heavy update, there is no guarantee you will find the event, or you will miss half of the content because of a choice you made.
- Events can have rewards

Known events:

These are the events I am re-creating from my lost data. Some events subject to change.

Self-destruct code
Replicator
Nanami on Camera
Pilot Pirate
Comet Hotline
Special unit Zilla
Improve anything
Not so local genius
Cooler than you thought
Food you can't resist
Any TV Channel
A sporofatic virus
An informed Informant
Someone with experience
We don't need a Doctor
Annihilation
The gladiator returns
Like a spider
You've been hacked
Unidentified, yet intelligent
+ a few more

Ice-Cream deception mystery *Really fun event!
^ This isn't the first time I've added hidden events. This one in particular is really fun!
Expected release date:
I wanted to get it done in time for the festival, but alas, if I keep my current pace it will be done this month. I also created a new function that makes it so hidden events will not repeat. So I had to overhaul my dialogue engine a bit.

Any updates at all?

I keep checking back here on both the Kickstarter and Steam hoping that there will be a new update or some information but it seems rather dead.

This small update introduces a few more things to do:

Added:

- 8 new events
- Changed dialogue for a few events based off player feedback.
- Rewrote Soro artifact event
- Three discoverable photos of a crew member when they were younger

Fixed:

- Not being able to select Nanami as your option for vacation event
- Other small bugs

Upcoming:

- Sometimes it's hard to know what triggers events, so I'll be adding a helpful feature to discover story moments.

Face to Face - Community questions

Nov 27, 2023

I'd like to include more T.V. content in this next update. One such show called "Face to Face", has our host asking questions to the crew members straight from the audience. These are "Your" questions that have been submitted to me.

Ask the crew anything:

For a modest fee of cryptos (in game currency), you can participate in the game show and earn celebrity points, which may be necessary later if you fail in the Mind Melt game show challenges. The topic of the question is up to you. Please keep it clean. Address your questions to the following Crew Members (listed in alphabetical order):

1) Astra
2) Erand
3) James N.
4) Juniper/June
5) Lora
6) Malthus
7) Millie
8) Moxie
9) Mr. String 毛球大人
10) Nanami(Suzumi)
11) Thurgium

You may post your questions in the forum. I'll create a new thread for this, or you can post them below. Follow the format so I know who the question is addressed to. Some such questions ask by the community discord have been these:

Crew: Astra
Question: How did you and your captain meet?

Crew: Juniper
Question: Where did you go to get your medical license?

Crew: Moxie
Question: If you had to choose another crewmate with whom to be stranded on a habitable planet, who would it be?

Crew: Lora
Question: If you had to choose any one sight you've seen before to see again what sight would you choose?

Don't hesitate to think outside the box. For example: you might ask Malthus to solve a riddle since he's a genius, or a question you don't think the game will ever provide you an answer for... etc.

In this current version of the game how many ending are available?

There seems to be more than one ending. I am wondering how many there are.
