Young Suns hit 1.0 on XBox!

I mentioned earlier this year that I wrote some characters for Young Suns, a sci-fi life sim by KO_OP. Well, I did another contract for the team this year, and the 1.0 release has more of my material in it!

I really enjoyed working on this game and with its team. There's really nothing better than arriving on a team which has provided you with everything you need to frictionlessly sink into the project and jam out as many stories as you can! I don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but my dream projects are just games where I get to turn off my higher brain functions and just write, like, three hundred jokes in a row. I spent much of this spring and summer doing exactly that.

The characters I wrote are Caleb, Simon, Andrea, Nora, Coyle, and Dian, and each of them has a substantial amount of daily story to collect over the course of a month-plus of regular check-ins. (Young Suns has a day clock similar to Animal Crossing, where logging in each day refreshes some of the activities you can do with your in-game neighbor characters.) I really appreciated working on a project where I could do Joke-Dense Material!!

The Steam release, coming later this year, will have even more stuff I wrote in it. I will be perfectly honest that I do not have an XBox, so I'm personally waiting for the Steam release to begin my "personal," non-dev playthrough. If you're in the same boat, please stay tuned for whenever I post about that in the future!!
