Our hard surface artist @brickwork.bsky.social has some important words to share.

Faith • Narrative Producer — 15:16 Alright so, @Receiving needs to hear this, even though it's not strictly a Stardust update. As you know, we are in post-production now for our first release and that's a huge milestone for us. It's a big chunk of storytelling, between three and four hours. We have lots we want to share and even more we want to do. We had an extended preview lined up to release on Ash Wednesday, that I was excited to get to you. But I have to be honest, that was predicated on the idea that I could use my own discretionary income to augment our meager budget and keep things moving along. With the federal government invading my hometown and threatening protesters and bystanders with violence as they kidnap and murder our neighbors — and now with a court ruling that gives them carte blanche to do that — things aren't looking great. There's a general strike on Friday, the first one in a century. What few resources I have to keep the project going at a regular clip may need to be temporarily rescinded in whole or in part. That puts self-imposed deadlines out of reach. Things are bad here in the Minneapolis area. Whatever you've heard, as a lifelong resident I promise you it's worse, because the national and international news is clogged up with the President's deflections on the world stage. (Minnesota Public Radio is a good local source if you are curious.) I really do think we are barreling toward open conflict. I really can't make predictions for the future right now. I haven't decided what I'm going to do for myself yet. It's impossible to know. If I can stay, I will. If my life is directly threatened, I'll have to pack up the car and run to the border. We'll see. Know that the rest of the team here — all the purple and blue names — work incredibly hard on putting this silly queer space adventure together. I'm so proud of them. It's not going anywhere. I've given Alexis the go-ahead to release what she can in the event I'm truly incapacitated, …

I have white privilege, so I don't want to oversell this, even as a queer woman. But things are dire in my hometown right now. The constitutional crimes the feds are committing against Minnesotans are only escalating. We may be headed to civil conflict. Our @sublightgames.com fans deserve an update.

A mostly clean black and white poster in silhouette. Ashlee and Teresa hold hands and look up to a cracked planet in the sky as space fighters fly past. Their trail is the transgender pride flag. The poster reads: "Queer love will prevail. We are all stardust."

Happy New Year's, Voidfriends! Enjoy your celebration of a new orbit; we'll see you on the other side. 💖

A comedy vignette of Teresa getting fussy with a barista and returning a sandwich for her girlfriend, Ashlee, who is very out-of-character and demure in this joke.

The same scene but the girls are now drawn as pickles.

We have fun in our Discord server. Thanks to John for the pickles! 💕🥒

Ashlee and Teresa tenderly embracing in the snow, each wearing warm coats. They are wrapped in a scarf that looks like the lesbian pride flag. Ashlee asks, "Where did you get such a long bacon?" to which Teresa replies nonchalantly, "Long bacon store."

The economy is crashing and I didn't do consumerism this year, so I got you space lesbians. 💕✨

A season's greetings message from Sublight Games. Ashlee and Teresa rest in front of a campfire while Windsong sits under aurora in the background.

Yuletide's Blessings & Season's Greetings, Voidfarers. It's been a rough year—we've been experiencing it there right alongside you. We hope your last two weeks of 2025 are warmer, filled with hygge, merriment, and companionship. ✨

Big things are coming from us in 2026. We can't wait to share.

Stardust is proudly human made—at 𝘢𝘭𝘭 stages of production.

And you help us make it. 💛 voidfarers.sublightgames.com

I’ll tell you what frustrates me: the attitude that I’m a problem to be solved. Being told what I want—no, what I need—and how I should carry myself, all so people can continue ruthlessly compartmentalizing human experience in convenient ways that assuage their own self-absorbed fears about the senselessness of existence.

"To be underestimated by those who would see you harm is an incredible blessing." — Captain Ashlee Rinn Jensdottir

Welcome to Lorespotting, highlighting unsung details in the art of Stardust.

Astrilish is a major language of The Bary, albeit among the most regional. It is spoken by approximately 3 bn people and is the official language of the Sibylean Commonwealth.

Welcome to Lorespotting, where we highlight unsung details in the art of Stardust.

Radiators are a necessary and important means of heat dissipation for 'shear drives.' Strike craft engineers attempt to minimize their use, favoring arcjet advection (open-cycle cooling) and ejectable heat sinks.
