Hello holographic friends and starlight dreamers! We’re so happy to talk with all of you again.
Prepare your best intergalactic outfits, as we are celebrating! Today is the ONE YEAR anniversary since A Long Journey to An Uncertain End launched on PC! 🎉 Time really does fly! We’re celebrating joining the Steam Summer Sale, where you can jump into this out-of-this-world adventure with 50% off!
It’s definitely been a long journey: from a successful Kickstarter, to PC launch, to Nintendo Switch launch. We’ve been able to go down this path thanks to our friends and found family. All of you, travelers from the stars, have allowed us to fly so far. We’re grateful to have such a lovely community, thanks for your love and support. And if you’re still looking for ways to support, drop a short Steam review letting people know what you think!
Of course, this is not the last adventure for the Crispy Creative team. We’ve been venturing into a more… haunted journey.
Stay tuned for more news in the future, as this is not the last you will be hearing from us!
As usual, follow us on our socials if you want to learn more about what we are working on!
Whew, what a week it has been. We launched on Nintendo Switch (!), we held a corgi cam livestream (SUPER FUN, by the way), and we also started a new Discord game!
It's called Truly's Space-gotchi Caretaking guide and is a linear branching story featuring the crew taking care of Truly's Space-gotchi. It's canon that Truly is a gamer haha, and in the character art, you can see there's a lil Space-gotchi on Truly's arm.
To participate, join our Discord and then head on over to #trulys-space-gotchi-caretaking-guide under the Community category! If you'd like to get Discord notifications on when the game updates, please select Travelers role in the #roles-n-pronouns channel.

Hi spacefarers,
The air is crisp with autumn, the spaceship's pace is brisk... and we are asking you to whisk your votes into the Steam Award Nominations! We'd love it if you'd nominate our queer narrative space opera in the "Outstanding Story-Rich Game" category!
As defined by Steam, "Outstanding Story-Rich Game" means games with supernova-level, galaxy-licious stories - just as grand as Matias (your in-game crew's resident drag queen) and his pyrotechnical drag show productions. To be more precise, the exact description says, "Some days, only a narrative-heavy game will hit the spot, and this one packs a wallop. It's as gripping as any soap opera, and as well-tuned as a prestige-TV screenplay. Bravissimo -- for making us feel things!!"
A Long Journey celebrates freedom, self-expression, and inclusivity. If our game with a diverse cast of characters and an empowering story of escape from an abusive relationship moved you, we hope you consider nominating us.
Oh and also, our game is 25% off as part of Steam's Autumn sale! A Long Journey is perfect for a cozy fall evening when you're in the mood for friendship, self-discovery, and one heck of an adventure in space.

Get to know about Aylah!
Hello intergalactic travelers! This year we are part of the Visual Novel Festival! A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative-heavy game, with an eclectic cast of characters that accompany the player in their adventures through the vast space. While it’s not exactly a visual novel, players that enjoy visual novels will enjoy our space opera game!
What drove us to create a narrative game were the inclusive themes we could explore in a game like this. The diverse crew joining the player in their journey is a great example. All our characters were inspired by people our development team has met in real life. A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is an homage to the diverse people that have influenced our lives: Today, let’s dive into one of the game’s main characters: Aylah Tress.
Aylah was heavily influenced by two people that Creative Director Kylan Coats knew: the first, a friend, former hairstylist, and flamboyant storyteller, and the second, an intimidatingly brilliant former boss. “My former hairstylist, a gay Jewish man from Brooklyn who was in his early 20’s in New York City during the AIDS epidemic, always had some wisdom to share; some response to everything,” says Kylan.
The second person, Kylan’s former boss, was “one of the few mentors I’ve had who really catapulted my personal and professional growth. I’d watch her navigate outright hostile work situations with a degree of empathy and shrewdness I haven’t seen since. Within all of this piercing intellect, there also seemed to be a bit of hippy, flower-power energy from somewhere long ago. This was an ardent, hopeful energy that had stood the test of time somehow.”
Aylah Tress is the first human crewmember to join the player in this Long Journey. Maternal but tough, strong but caring, Aylah is a hopeful advocate for a better world.
If you have not played the game yet, A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is on sale right now! You can meet Aylah and the rest of the wonderful cast that will join you as you travel through the galaxies!

First Light: Patch Notes 07/07/2023
Hello Cosmic Voyagers,
Firstly, a heartfelt salute from the bridge to all our brave captains who have embraced A Long Journey to an Uncertain End. Your support has given us the fuel to keep this ship rocketing through the cosmic narrative we've all come to cherish.
As with any daring voyage into the unknown, there are always a few stray asteroids that need blasting.
C.O.R.G.I.'s been listening in and ze helped us stomp some of the reported bugs. Here's a look at what's getting a tune-up:
Fixed time progression issues: Timer wasn't pausing when the game was paused , when the Settings menu was open , nor when the crew screen was open.
Adjusted music default volume to start at 60% instead of 100%
Fixed pronouns displaying for NPCs
Small credit fixes
Keep those observations, bug reports, and improvements coming - they're the key to making this game the best it can be. For those eager to share their experiences and ideas in more detail, hop into our Discord channel, the perfect space station for in-depth conversations on the game.
A hearty thank you, Captains, for your commitment to this interstellar adventure.
Fly safe, Crispy Creative
