Blog: 2025
It’s that time of the month again, and it’s also that time of the year, which means it’s time for another monthly, and also yearly, update. 2025 has been yet another really big year for us, and 2026 looks set to be even bigger as we continue to work towards sharing with you our next demo!
It’s December tomorrow, which means it’s time for yet another monthly update on all things Star Heretic. Without further ado, let’s get into what Chel and I have been up to over the past thirty days…
Happy Halloween, Kinoko fans! This month on our blog, whilst I continue to work towards some of the fundamental features of our next demo release, Chel’s kindly stepping in with some of her own recent work, over on the art and design side of things!
Although it’s been a year of both ups and downs, we’ve made some really great progress on Star Heretic’s development since we released our first playable demo. Now that we have a game design document, we’re finally able to actually think about a timeline for the release of our second demo…
This is just a quick notice to announce that the Cult of Galaxy Shop has been temporarily shut down. Since we’re not actively promoting our merchandise at the moment, the Shopify monthly platform fees have been costing us more than we have been earning back in sales…

Chel and I are both happy to announce that you can now read all five pages of the ‘Birth, Rise and Fall of Galaxy’ comic here on our website! The production of this comic has been a mammoth undertaking, but at long last, it’s the realisation of a story that we first wrote together nine years ago…
This time last month, I used this blog to write about succumbing to burnout immediately after releasing our first playable demo. I mentioned that I’d put on nearly 30 pounds in weight since losing my brother, and all the things I had begun doing to try and shift it so I could get back to the game…
This time last month, I used this blog to formally announce the release of our first public, playable demo… and since then, I’m afraid to say that I’ve barely worked on it! It was always the plan that I’d take a short break from developing the game, but I guess burnout finally caught up with me…
For anyone coming to our website who doesn’t already know, we finally released the first public version of our playable demo on 1st March, via our Discord community. Today, we’re making that demo publicly available right here on our website – so go and grab yourself a copy!
