Hello everyone. Last update I said how were hard at work on the in-game lore for The Chaser’s Voyage, which would take the form of a Crew Journal. Well, here’s some screenshots of what the Crew Journal will look like.<\/p>\n

As you can see, not every category will be unlocked at the beginning of the game. As you progress through the game, making it further and further into your adventure and unlocking insignias, you’ll learn more and more about the history of the galaxy and just how all the pieces line up and affect your voyage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The banners were made by me using both original assets and repurposing those already in the game. Stylistically, I’m pretty happy with how they turned out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your crew will also be providing insight by leaving comments on each entry. These little dialogue exchanges can expand on information presented in the main entry, talk about something tangentially related, or reveal a little bit more information about themselves.<\/p>\n

We hope that everyone uses the Crew Journal as a way to measure their progress. It’s the main tracker of meta-progression we have in the game and acts as a non-gameplay-affecting reward for players who keep playing on their voyage to improve and try out all the game’s features.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With most of the general layout completed, all that’s left now is to further polish it, design the layout for the entry selection screens, and implement the text. And there is a lot of text.<\/p>\n
