Development news.
🕑 Added 2024-05-04 20:00:12 +0000 UTCHello there!
So, the time has come for that very promised evening news.
I think you all have already noticed that in the posts of recent months it is increasingly not Tatooine, where we all began, that appears, but the interior of the Imperial Star Destroyer. Why is this so?
Well, the Destroyer was actually planned as one of the game's locations for a fairly extensive stealth mission. But in the process of working on it, both the volume of the mission script and the amount of content created for it grew so much that it would be enough for a separate, albeit small, game.
Meanwhile, the state of the main project still leaves much to be desired. Plot inconsistencies and resulting problems with game logic, which is constantly being rewritten, prevent me from bringing the game to the state in which I want to see it. Also, the already known location of Mos Phalla on Tatooine, which still looks too empty, has already been remade many times and still has not achieved the required look.
Based on the above, I decided to temporarily suspend the development of the main project “Path of Lust” until all its components are brought into a harmonious combination. Don’t think, I’m not going to abandon this project completely, I just want to put its structure in order, and at the same time my own brains, which are already completely confused.
However! I won’t leave you without something sweet :) As I already said, the content created for the mission on the Star Destroyer is quite enough for a small game. Let it be so! Moreover, the demo version, and this is a PLAYABLE demo version of this game, is already ready and is undergoing final improvements and testing. In fact, I wanted to release it today, on Star Wars day, but alas, I didn’t have time to finish some little things. However, the game will be released in the coming days, approximately on Friday, May 10th.
What kind of game will this be? I will reveal the title and plot details a little later. In short, this is a stealth action game about a rebel saboteur who has infiltrated an Imperial Destroyer and is causing minor (and not so much) nasty things to the Imperials :) The plot part consists of a series of missions to break the Destroyer's systems, steal secret data, sabotage Imperial equipment, and more. The gameplay is a classic stealth game with secretive movements around locations, take down unsuspecting sentries and, as a bonus, the ability to spy on the personal lives of the imperial crew. Well, you know what I mean :)
And of course, if you let guards catch you, the game will show you in all its colors why you shouldn’t do this :)
As for "Path of Lust", its development will also continue and I will publish news about this project from time to time. Well, as soon as all the pieces of this puzzle come together into a single whole picture, a new demo will appear, which will no longer be as boring and empty as it is now...
So, this is the state of affairs today. I hope this news did not disappoint you and you are interested in taking a look at the new game. However, in the survey attached to the post, as well as in the comments, you can express your opinion, it will be very interesting to me.
Once again, Happy Star Wars Day. Stay in touch and May the Force be with you! :)

In general, I agree, but as an ADHDer, I often find doing something else for a while can give me better clarity when I return to the original project.

In fact, if this game turns out to be successful, I have plans to make a whole series of similar games, including with an imperial saboteur on a rebel ship and a CIS saboteur on a clone “venator” (some kind of Ventress, why not? :) ), and maybe even in other universes.

I can tell you from experience: "Keep doing one thing and keep doing it, until you are done" To have focus on one thing is important and helps your head to be more organized.

Any chance of an Imperial side demo at some point? Reason for asking is, most games seem to be based on rebels least those I've noticed. With the exception of SWG or the strat ones :)
