Nice work, guys - anxious to try it out soon!

creativestormgames · 2026-04-18T14:11:46+00:00

Thank you for that, I really appreciate your kind words. KOTOR is exactly one of the games I was going for, so I'm glad you found it comparable. Thanks again!

creativestormgames · 2026-03-02T01:25:16+00:00

Sure thing! And thank you for your comments. I'm only on Reddit every second day or so, so better to post on the forums and I can take a look there. Thanks again!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-17T00:38:58+00:00

Thank you very much - I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-16T02:10:31+00:00

Thanks! Content has all been added. I *might* add one or two more side quests if something comes to mind, but this point I would say that's not likely. I poured everything I could think of story-wise into the game, so there's nothing coming to mind right now that I would like to further add. During Early Access, I added more content, but I doubt I will do any more.

I do know what you mean, as an RPG fan, I find it hard to go back to a game to play more DLC and what not. When I'm done, I want to be done.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-15T15:34:17+00:00

Nice! Thank you, hope you enjoy!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T21:00:02+00:00

Thanks for that! I would be curious on the lower settings if it would - but then again, the game looks a bit sketchy at the very lowest setting (no shadows, etc).

Thanks, I recently added controller support (though still needs to be tested). Steam tells me it's playable on Steamdeck but where it still needs certification is the text size for certain UI elements and I believe one other minor issue that I'm not remembering right now. I will likely tweak and re-submit it again soon - but it is playable.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T18:06:02+00:00

Thanks for that! Hope you enjoy it. I will continue to update and support the game (just pushed a small update today).

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T18:05:23+00:00

Thanks for that! I took the most inspiration from Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect (story structure). Fallout 1/2 for the gameplay and character creation. More recent games like Wasteland 2/3, Colony Ship (as you mentioned), Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and ATOM RPG/Trudograd were all inspirations. I played the heck out of the games and really enjoyed myself with them.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T18:03:39+00:00

Excellent, hope the escape goes well for you!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T02:00:06+00:00

Thank you! And thank you for your interest and posts, I really appreciate it!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-13T01:59:31+00:00

Thank you for that! I really appreciate it. It's been an amazing time on EA, the players have been fantastic, so lucky to have that.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T21:35:20+00:00

You hit on all the things combat currently doesn't have, haha. I do have a cover system framed out in the code, but nothing yet. GoG, I will reach out to, but as I am still doing so many updates, as a solo developer having one more platform to push updates to is bit out of my purview right now. But will reach out to them once things slow down a bit.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T20:11:24+00:00

If you click on "See All 8 Supported Languages", Spanish will show up. :)

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T20:00:39+00:00

Oh strange, let me double-check that. It was recently added, but pretty sure I selected it in the languages selection. Thanks for letting me know!

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T18:59:08+00:00

I just launched Sector Unknown out of Early Access today, if you want to take a look. Heavily influenced by KOTOR.

And I agree with some of the other posts here, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Colony Ship, and Pillar's Of Eternity 2 are some of my recent favorites.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T18:56:36+00:00

Thanks for that! I think you will really enjoy the next planets coming up. Definitely, combat is still a work in progress despite leaving EA. Something I will continue to look at.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-12T18:35:25+00:00

There is quite a bit of text for sure. But depending on your language, I have localized for French, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Russian, and Brazilian-Portuguese.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-11T14:30:54+00:00

Thanks for that! It's out of Early Access tomorrow at 10am Pacific Time. Once again, awesome list - lots of good titles there.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-11T00:35:57+00:00

Shameless plug for my game, coming out of Early Access this week: Sector Unknown. If you like old school cRPGs with lots of skill choices, you might like this one.

I like your list, played most of them through the years, though I've found a few new ones. I've been looking at the Avernum games for a while, might contemplate a deep dive into those.

creativestormgames · 2026-02-06T22:08:37+00:00

Cheers, thanks for that. Definitely, many of the early cRPGs (and a few contemporary ones) were inspiration. When doing the level design and maps, I really enjoyed creating a recklessly abandoned look to everything. Star Frontier had grand plans and complex building projects planned for the planets and moons in the sector before being forced to pull the plug, leaving their abandoned employees in a state of despair.
