I thought it would be fun to share the way that Infinite Stars has developed over the past few months. It's been quite a journey from place holder art to semi final art.
It's been an amazing journey thus far, seeing how everything comes together. We honestly can't wait to release the first ...

Everyone knows (or should know) that marketing a game is one of the most important facets of creating an indie game. I thought I'd share some information about our marketing efforts and shine a (somewhat dim) light on the process.
We are constantly improving our brand, evolving as we go. T...
Development has been continuing at a steady pace. Our artists are busy with the final pieces of artwork for the first episode. The Cephilusk characters are a bit more complex and takes longer to draw, but the end is in sight!
As usual, we've been busy in the background, working hard on the first release for Infinite Stars. We've had to make some adjustments to our backgrounds to ensure that the quality is on par with the rest of the project.
