- Initiating Starfall Protocol🌠🚀 - 6 July 2023
🚀🌌Greetings, Galaxy Explorers! We have an exciting announcement to make! As part of our broader effort to better align the game's identity with its evolving narrative and gameplay, we are changing the name of the game from Nebula to Starfall Protocol!🌠🌌 This transition has been on the cosmic agenda since the beginning, and we hope that you'll find the new name just as cool as we do! When we first started working on the game, ‘Nebula’ was a code name that we used for the project. Although it stuck with us throughout the Kickstarter period, we’ve always found the name a bit too generic. Unfortunately, ‘Nebula’ is shared among multiple other video game titles and movie characters, which can lead to confusion. Rest assured, this renaming doesn't affect the game itself. We believe that Starfall Protocol is a unique and fitting name that will help us stand out and better represent our gam…

- New Art Style, Music, AI, Inventory, and Operations - 1 February 2023
Hey, Galaxy Explorers!🚀🌌 We hope this update finds you well. We've been hard at work on the development of Nebula, and we're thrilled to share some exciting updates with you! GRAPHICS🎨 We've been working on updating the art style of Nebula, and we're happy to announce that we've found a new aesthetic that aligns well with our vision for the game. This was a challenge as the game's nature and camera perspective required certain conditions to be met, introducing creative and technical limitations. Artists had to find a good balance between having assets that are too detailed and hard to read from a distance and assets that are too simple and boring when the camera is zoomed in. After much experimentation and exploration, we are thrilled to share some prototype assets showcasing the new style with you! There is still a lot to do including the characters, but our talented artists are wor…
