The Star Legation is finished (for PC)!
It's been a long journey, but it is finally complete! The Star Legation is going to release for PC on February 4 in less than 2 weeks. The game will be available for $14.99.
That's the good news!
No Mac version, yet...
The bad news is that I have had to delay the release of the Mac version, indefinitely, while I work to solve issues with the export. The short explanation is that the game engine I used to build the game was updated and it now has an export issue for the Mac. I can't roll back to the previous version of the engine because that version wouldn't export games as large as The Star Legation. I'm currently trying things with a work-around, using the Japanese version of the program (which is in Japanese). A colleague is helping me with this process because it all has to be done with a Mac, and I don't own one. So far, the game has been successfully exported, but there are errors. Some re-coding has been done and we are currently trying the new version out with a Mac beta tester. Until I am confident that no further errors exist in this export, I'm not unwilling to release the Mac version. This process may take some time, since I cannot test and confirm things myself. The Mac version will be released if a bug-free, stable build can be confirmed.
Full Original Soundtrack will be available on release day!
I have put together for you a 99-minute OST (original soundtrack) with 40 unique tracks of scifi music that I've composed for The Star Legation game. Included with this soundtrack are 9 pages of composer notes and the cover art for the album. The music is synthesized techno with some classical elements, and includes a variety of moods such as:
* rave-like techno rock
* emotional, pensive and melodic
* bizarre, intense atmospheric
* cultural, rhythmic and brooding
* mysterious, dark and foreboding
The OST will be sold alongside the game for a price of $9.99.
