Adjustments:

• Several dialog lines edited to remove confusing use of \"cycles\" from early writing. (Some stay but are more clear about what they mean, others shift to the more-appropriate time words.)

  [/*]

• Investigating Oletko\'s background should say \"Proposal option updated\" instead of \"Proposal option unlocked\" when you manually investigate his background. Generally no longer let you propose to Jaxor if you have already been rejected by Oletko (may still be available in old saves due to where the flag is set) If Jaxor is unmarried but Oletko has already rejected you, Oletko\'s dossier line for him will read \'Jaxor is currently unmarried.\' rather than suggesting an alliance.

  [/*]

  [/*]

  [/*]

We have been approved for Steam trading cards and you should start seeing them drop now!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45423147/2a3aac4947ddfb9cd43c1825ad9c397c36a82a6d.png\"][/img]

The Steam servers are a little overloaded today so there may be some delay in backlogged cards dropping, but hopefully playing the game should drop them as normal.

And of course the Steam Award Nominations are still ongoing...

We hope you\'ve been enjoying the game so far and finding a few secrets along the way!

Would you consider supporting Zorana in the [strike]Imperial Election[/strike] Steam Awards?

If you haven\'t made up your mind which game deserves your vote, are there any quests we could undertake to show that we\'re the best candidate? (Just kidding. Vote for whomever you like!)

  [/*]

If you encounter problems please post them in the main discussion forums.

It took a long time to get here, but we\'re finally out among the stars!

[dynamiclink href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/3069630/Galaxy_Princess_Zorana\"][/dynamiclink]

Pick up the game for 15% off from now until Nov 29th (running just a tiny bit longer than the standard one week in order to cover Black Friday)

If you backed the game on Kickstarter you should have received information through that site on how to claim your Steam key - if you haven\'t heard anything, go take a look over there, sometimes emails go missing.

Also, if you saw a tiny update go through today? Trying to fix a launch issue on Linux. Should have absolutely no effect for Windows players. Of course, if you do run into any issues please let us know on the discussion forums!

There is a LOT of game to explore and a LOT of secrets out there to find. We\'re not publishing any guides yet, but a few early testers may have suggestions that can help steer you towards the achievements. Still, there\'s no need to rush! It\'s a big galaxy out there.

Good luck, have fun, and try not to die EVERY time. we_are_your_children

If you check our steam page - [dynamiclink href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/3069630/Galaxy_Princess_Zorana/\"][/dynamiclink]you should now see an actual launch date! Excitement!

We\'re eager to finally get some more players in to explore our universe.

As mentioned, launch will not be the end of content. There WILL be free updates later for things that were Kickstarter stretch goals. Nothing that is coming is intended to be DLC, it will all be additions to the main game that you\'ll get as automatic updates. New art is already in progress, but don\'t worry, there\'s already so much to explore, you will be busy for quite a while before you need anything new.

Thank you for following this project!

Since the successful conclusion of the Kickstarter we have been hard at work bringing Galaxy Princess Zorana towards launch state. The testing process for players with beta-keys is ongoing. The game is playable end-to-end except for the lack of the final epilogue, credits, and things that would normally be unlocked by completion (gallery, deaths list, achievements, etc). The in-game codex has also not been filled out at this point. Partly we're keeping an eye on player questions to see what else might need to be added.

Based on player input, bugs are being ironed out, additional text is being added, and UI is being tweaked. A few beta-tester streams exist, if you're curious (of course, these rapidly become outdated as new patches drop)

The first backer-designed character was added to the game in the last patch:

We do not have a specific launch date planned at this point. Yes, it's still very likely it will be out before the end of the year. It's also possible it will roll over into 2026 if we decide to wait until more content is added.

From the stretch goals list, the additional Romance Graphics and Aliens will definitely not be available this year (the art will take too long to complete) and will probably be added post-launch. The Rebel ending is more possible but unknown at this point.

The key point is - things are happening! We are very much in motion!

We know we've kept you waiting for news but now we have some exciting things to announce!

First off, if you check the Steam page, you should see that we have a brand-new trailer available which should provide an overview for the game and a few smiles.


Secondly, the game is now funding on Kickstarter . We will not be doing Early Access on Steam so if you want to get in on the beta level and make suggestions while the game is in development (or snag one of the special offers) this is the time to do it. But if not, don't fear, the game will get here eventually!

It's been a long road getting here and we're very excited (AND STRESSED!) and looking forward to being able to invite players into our world soon!
