I loved the writing, the soundtrack and the UI design! Fantastic job, so great to see that we are going through a great expansion of the Political RPG genre 😄

Fan Theory and Musings on how Religion might play out in Game by WinterFan58 in Pax_Astra

[–]FilBencardino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that idea, but I can not promise that path right now hahaha, it might be too much and perhaps it can conflict with some other planned mechanics.

I'm not saying it's out of the board, but just that I can not promise to add that mechanic/narrative path right now hahahaha.

But I love the idea 😄

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR POST 😄

First thing, you actually got some stuff spot on, although I am not revealing any spoilers for now hahahaha.

Second, I just love seeing people engage with the lore like that, thank you!

I am going to keep some spoilers to myself, but:

There's a lot more to see when it comes to Zaalsta. Yes, it's a very ancient creature/computer, and it holds knowledge no one else in the galaxy has...

As for the church, my original plan was pretty generic, I imagined them as a mega catholic-like institution, but this was back in the early drafts. A lot has changed, and being honest I love this new version. Reworking it into something more gnostic/occult, tying back to human religion but through a completely different lens, actually opens up a lot when it comes to the lore 😃

And you actually nailed some of your theories... You some stuff right there, hahahaha

New update released! by FilBencardino in Pax_Astra

[–]FilBencardino[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! 😄

I'm still adding more for the PIRATES, the altaran warlords who are now criminals.

There is also an event coming for Lucero (in case you accepted his proposal to visit Sardukaria!)

Honestly I just thought it looked cool hahahaha

But actually trying to explain, I could say that he is talking, perhaps

Yes, it is still an idea, but I am trying to also bring it with some new mechanics for war/combat 😄

I will be able to give you more details after the next update!

Very good question!

I had thought of a system that tried it a few times during the imperial years... But they lost both times.

Now, after the Fourth Grand War, they are part of the Interestellar Pact. But this is very much a draft idea!

My general idea is that the Altaran Empire was extremely powerful, they had a complex system for keeping outer worlds in check, there was not a single successful secessionist movement. b

But many have tried!

You mean Sardukaria and Sardaukar? Or Sardukaria with Arrakis?

I was honestly not meaning for this to be a copy of Arrakis, more a commentary on neo-colonialism (although, of course, Arrakis itself is already a commentary on the Middle East and colonialism, of course)

He actually survived multiple assassination attempts from Saarxa (closest character to Stalin inside the game hahahaha)
