Guess who just bought the prologue for ISAT because it was on sale. This girl!!

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

This literally sums up the way this fandom snuck up on me.

ough... i don't know, chat. it's just that lately i've been thinking abou

what the fuck was that

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

This actually answered a couple of questions that I had.

✨ The In Stars and Time Spoiler Q&A ✨

it's time. MASSIVE IN STARS AND TIME SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT. IT'S GONNA BE SO LONG. LET'S GO

I hope you are aware of The Secret Final Boss because I'm also gonna spoil the crab out of that. If you haven't,

1. Did you know the events for interacting with your souvenirs are randomized for some of them, and also change depending on how far you are in the game.

2. Did you know there's a way to show souvenirs to a certain character.

3. Did you know you can go back to Dormont during the Epilogue.

Figure that out, and come back here! Or watch a let's play online. You can also do that.

I will also try to adopt a ~mysterious cool voice with no exclamation points~ for Effect. Come with me on this journey.

Now. Questions time!

✨ Will you ever make a sequel to ISAT, or make a game in the same universe?

Nah. This was always intended to be The Story. This is your turn to imagine things now.

✨ But so what happened to the Country? What was its name? What about the wishes? What about the colors? What did Siffrin say as an openphrase to open the door to the King's room? What about--

I will not answer those. It's your turn.

✨ BUT THE COUNTRY AND THE COLORS AND THE WISHES

Ok fine. Here are some facts that I alluded to in-game, that I am confirming now.

-The Country disappearing and the events that made colors go away are not related.

-The colors disappeared a loooong time ago, which is why knowing they even existed is a relatively new find.

-A wish made everyone forget the Country.

I will ALSO say that ISAT's map operates on Final Fantasy/General Fantasy rules (i.e. in-universe locations are based off of real ones when it comes to culture, but are not one to one parallels, especially for geography), so no, the Country isn't based on the UK oh my god please do not say that to me again or im deleting ISAT out of your computers and putting legos at the foot of your bed. It's based on another place. You can figure it out, I believe in you.

✨ But why won't you give more info on what happened :(

Can you imagine if I did answer. Wouldn't that be a bummer, whatever my answer was. Sometimes things need to stay a mystery. And also, I don't want to answer <3

✨ Does the world Loop came from still exist after they left? Or is this a get mystery'd situation?

There is only One Timeline and it's the timeline that goes from the prologue to ISAT. Every timeline that gets rewound does not exist anymore, and that includes the prologue's timeline.

✨ What's the deal with Siffrin's dream at the start?

It's Siffrin's dream, but that doesn't mean our Siffrin is the main star.

✨ Is [specific missable game moment] canon?

Every moment that you personally experience in the game is canon.

✨ Is there a reason Siffrin remembers their name but the King doesn't?

What makes you think Siffrin does?

✨ At the very very end of the game, if you look out the window behind the Head Housemaiden, Sif mentions seeing an island in the distance. Is that his country?

It is. It's always been there, for the whole game. You can see it in the distance, too.

✨ Who was the King, before?

He was just a guy!

✨ With the King left remembering in the end, does that in any way change the redaction effect for other people in the world going forward?

That's a fun idea. Maybe!

✨ One thing that never really clicked for me is: Is the sweet smell Time Craft or Wish Craft? Or is the sweet smell TIme Craft and specifically the burnt sugar smell is Wish Craft? Other way around? Does this question even matter since without Wish Craft you can't attain Time Craft in the first place? (To me, yes.)

Wish Craft smells sweet. Time Craft doesn't have a smell per se, but it does do something.

✨ Does Mirabelle retain her immunity to being frozen in time after the events of the game or does it go away after the Head Housemaiden is saved? Or does it persist for a while and eventually fade away?

I imagine the immunity slowly faded away. But no one's left to do Time Craft, so it's a moot point anyway.

✨ How was Odile able to stop Siffrin from looping back during the fight against Siffrin?

In the Discord channel I stated that it's because "she's just that cool", but really, she does have access to some skills that heighten the efficacity of Rock/Paper/Scissors attacks, so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine she could lower the efficacity of Time Craft as well. In this last loop, while listening to Loop and observing, she could figure out Siffrin was looping way earlier than she could in even the Sus Quest, so she made plans. She is Very Smart <3

✨ Will you ever share everyone's full names?

That's artbook content <3

✨ In the ending, what happened to Siffrin's hat?

Flew away. It's gone now.

✨ Looking back at the original comics, and seeing how comic!sif has both eyes at the start of their loops, but in ending sequences is shown with his eye patch...did you ever consider making that concept of sif losing their eye a part of the main loop in either of your games? and if so, was there any reason why you decided against it?

Early on, I did think about making that whole event an event that happens during the loops, but quickly let that go since 1. it would be a pain to write and code (two different sets of Siffrin portraits!) and 2. if it happened, the player might want to look for a way to NOT make that happen and so 3. it would be a pain to write and code

✨ How was Siffrin's homelife before?

Pretty good!

✨ How old were Nille and Bonnie when they ran away? How old was Sif when their home got zapped?

Both were teens.

✨ How old IS everyone?

Siffrin is mid-late 20s. Mirabelle and Isabeau are early-mid 20s, with Isabeau being slightly older. Bonnie is a preteen. Odile is Too Old For This. Petronille, Bonnie's sister, is late teens-early 20s. You can ignore whatever I said in the prologue's artbook, whoever wrote this was Wrong!!!!!!!!!!

✨ Regarding the book that talks about someone who crafted a copy of themself using wish craft: is that meant to imply someone we know is the author (and/or the copy), or is it not directly related to any of em? or is it a "who knows ;)" situation where we can just speculate and theorize either way?

Please check the book again during Act 5! This applies to most items/map events by the way, like the pendant. You can check those during Act 5 and 6 for some fun new dialogue!

✨ Why are Siffrin's clothes so warm looking?

The Country got cold at night.

✨ What's up with Siffrin's pins?

They're made out of a special material. And also, they make Siffrin look cool <3

✨ I want to know the story behind Loop’s different eye shades!

They're blind in one eye. Also, fun foreshadowing <3

✨ What determines whether someone is paper/rock/scissors craft? Is it assigned naturally at birth or something else (and how do you find out)? Does it make you more inclined to use that specific craft or is anyone generally free to use whatever craft they want?

Astrology rules, It Just Is A Thing. Being Rock Type means it is way easier for you to do Rock Craft, but that doesn't mean you can't learn other types of craft, although it's way harder. Doing Craft of your type is instinct, doing Craft of another type would take some time and resarch.

✨What crimes has Odile committed before. I need to know.

Odile just smiles.

✨ Why did the King specifically target the House of Dormont?

I had a reason in mind, but adding it to the game would've added a layer of Explanation that really didn't need to be there. It's just a nice House.

✨ Who was Odile's hatecrush...

Dunno. It's your turn.

✨ What is loop's body situation. like is the surface of their "skin" solid? they did poke siffrin that one time, and we know they aren't cold, but...

I have some idea. But it's your turn!

✨ Would Sif still have looped if they hadn't made the wish he made in the beginning? As in, would Vaugarde's combined wish have made him loop until managing to beat the King?

No. But without time powers, you can imagine what would've happened next.

✨ During the Loop Hangout, how did the rest of the team make it all the way to The King? What about during Act 5?

During the Loop Hangout: with difficulty. During Act 5: Loop was there to guide them.

✨ Is Loop: 1. Actually comfortable with both he and they, but only gave the one pronoun to emphasize the distance? 2. Only using they/them because a large life event led to a shift in identity/ how they'd like to be perceived? or 3. time lops stole he from they they :(

Mostly that first one. But all three of those reasons have a bit of truth to them.

✨ Who cooked crab in the House of Change???

This is a very funny question! I've never thought about it. It's your turn.

✨ What are the Orbs that open the gate? Did the King create the Gate or was it there before?

(did not think about the orbs or the gate beyond "plot that proves there was a journey before") Stop Asking Questions,,,, It's your turn,,,,,,

✨ Bonnie's dialogue is *extremely* accurate to how overexcited kids talk, which is really rare to see. Was that something that took a lot of effort to achieve, or did it come naturally to you?

Thank you <3 I'm just that good. Really, Bonnie is an adult with no filter, and less general knowledge. I'm very glad I managed to write Bonnie well, especially since. I haven't talked to a kid. Since I was one myself

✨ The Spoilery Concept Art. Blease

oh yeah. here have it all. this is what I gave Mimi to do the animated trailer!

✨ So. What's everyone's favorite shade.

FINALLY the question. Plus I can say shade names now. White = darkless, Black = lightless. Light and Dark is like light grey/ dark grey. Oh my god I'm checking my notes and I wrote a small event I never used about hair dye colors like "midnight dark", "tomato grey", "snow light" past me that's so fucking funny

Anyway, Siffrin loves darkless, Mirabelle is more of a light shade lover, Isabeau loves that lightless (BECAUSE ITS FASHIONABLE OK), Odile likes darker shades, and Bonnie also loves that lightless (BECAUSE ITS AS DARK AS MY SOUL OK)

✨ Are there any bugs you found during developments that you've made into features?

Two! The first one was the ability to ask Loop to just silently hang out during Act 4. I messed up the code and the game softlocked there, with Siffrin and Loop sitting there silently. I thought it was very sweet. They deserve a little quiet time.

The second was in Act 5 - the House map had a lot of issues with the Act 5 map bringing you back to the normal House map. So one of the testers got brought to the normal House map and didn't notice, and interacted with the Mirror on Floor 3, and it gave them the normal interaction with everyone seeing the mirror and taking a picture, and when they went to look at the picture in their inventory, it gave them the actual Act 5 picture. A little bit after they realized the game bugged out, and told me about it, and begged me to keep that in because they were very unsettled by it. So here it is! Beforehand, it was just Siffrin silently taking a picture, so I'm glad I changed it.

✨ Did you ever have emotional difficulty writing the more sensitive parts of the script, like Siffrin’s intrusive/negative thoughts, for one reason or another? Moreover, did you worry the script may be darker than your initial vision for it anticipated?

Not really. The Mirabelle and Odile hangout scenes were the hardest scenes by far because I really wanted to get them right, but everything else was about the same amount of difficulty. And actually, I wanted to go a little bit darker for the script, but I was worried it was going to be too dark... When it comes to the dagger event, I had a whole tangent about Siffrin thinking about the best way to strike, so to speak, but I deleted it because it was getting A Little Too Detailed. T rating come back to me

✨ For the questions you WON'T answer, did you have your own answers while making the game? Or were they left blank?

Some of them I do, some of them I don't!

✨ I loved this game and I want to replay it but I don't want Siffrin to go through everything again!

Here's a little fun fact I decided: if you hit the credits, you helped a Siffrin escape. If you start a new game, you are creating a new Siffrin that you can emotionally tortu-IIIIIIII MEAN, a new Siffrin that you can help. Do not worry about your Siffrins they are fine

✨ A lot of those answers ended up being "It's your turn", huh.

Yea <3 The answers to some of those questions ARE there if you look. Some just aren't. But you can imagine whatever you want. It's your turn! I finished the game! I'm done working! It's your turn!!!

✨ I loved ISAT and it made me feel so many feelings!

Thank you so much. I'm sorry if you sent a message or ask and I didn't answer it. I read every single one and cherish it! Thank you for playing and thank you for writing me a message!!!!! When I get a little down I look at all of those and I feel better. Thank you. I'm sorry I can't answer them all.

✨ What will you work on next?

I have a project I'm currently in the preproduction stages of. I don't want to talk about it until I feel like I have some stuff to show. Plus I still have to make the ISAT artbook and some other stuff, so it won't be for a while. Nonetheless, I hope you will enjoy it!!!

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

When Siffrin gets to the King, he's hoping that the King might be normal. Nope. The King's now singing his misery out.

Siffrin's genuinely thinks he's losing his mind.

Guys, guys, hear me out again for another ISAT AU:

ISAT but it's musical. Like Siffrin wakes up, and everyone's suddenly singing. Everyone he talks to is seriously breaking out into song, and, when Siffein mentions it, no one understands what he's talking about.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

I went to bed and woke up to find ISAT and A03 trending. Honestly, they both deserve it.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

You can't help but wonder how Loop felt when they saw your (our?) friends. Were they upset that they wanted was before them, but would never be theirs?

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

It's crazy to think that In Stars and Time is a year old! I'm dad that I didn't hear about this game till last month, but still happy that I got into the fandom. Honestly, the game is awesome if you haven't played it yet, and the story, characters, game design, and mechanics will draw you in. There's also so much to this game. You could honestly play it several times and learn new information each time.

Anyway, happy birthday/happy anniversary to In Stars and Time, and congratulations to insertdisc5 for making what might be one of my favorite games!

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

Continuing this post:

Siffrin might dump Bonnie with the others as soon as he's confident that they are not going to die.

I've decided to call the Villian AU - King's Friend AU.

So, I've been thinking about Bonnie, and how they come into it. Basically-

Shortly after Siffrin ditches the group, he's traveling around when he runs into Bonnie. Bonnie's tired and exhausted from walking all the way from Bambouche when they collapse. Siffrin's there to catch them in the nick of them. Siffrin takes care of Bonnie and helps them to recover.

---

You kneel on the ground, carefully tending to the fire beside you. When you're done, you turn your attention to the small child lying in your only sleeping bag. They've been asleep for a while, and you've used several of your stashed away potions on them.

What's the point of helping them, an ugly thought says in head. When they're only going to end up frozen with the rest of Vaugarde?

You ignore this thought. You've ignoring a lot of thoughts like that.

Instead, you reach down and touch the child's forehead with the back of your palm. You're frowning at the warmth still present there when the child squirms and blearily open their eyes to look at you.

"Who are you?" They whisper, their voice nearly gone.

You draw your hat more over your face and turn away. "No one important."

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

Continuing the long hair discussion, I like the idea that when Siffrin shrinks back down, his hair is still like crazy long. You can't tell me that Isabeau and Mirabelle would not freak over Siffrin's hair. Mirabelle would practically beg to comb and style Siffrin's hair. (Like, you know, doing a long braid). Isabeau would, you know, want to touch Siffrin's hair so bad.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

Hear me out: This.

But Siffrin's hair grows out like the King's. (Because I really like the idea that when the King grew, his hair grew too. Also, I really like the idea of Siffrin with long hair.)

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

More about the Villian AU:

I like the idea of the King sending Siffrin to spy on the Saviours of Vaugarde, and Siffrin dyes his hair to do it. So, Siffrin watches Mirabelle met Isabeau and Odile. He often reports back to the King about what they're doing and sometimes tries to slow them down. During this time, Siffrin, unknowingly, finds himself becoming exposed to the group's family-like nature. One day, when Siffrin's spying on the group, he notices that they're about to be defeated by a Sadness. Before he realizes it, he's stepping in to save the group.

Siffrin slices through the Sadness, and he remains on guard until it fades away. He suddenly realizes that the group's behind them, and he quickly turns around to greet them. "Hey," he gives them an awkward wave. He didn't really talk to other people besides the King. "Knife to meet you?"

Following this, Siffrin briefly travels with the group. But, with reminders from the King following him everywhere he goes, he eventually runs off.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

I'm definitely not going to do something with this. Nope, not me, at all.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

New Part: 10 Lethal Injury Ideas

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

If you want to explore writing burns, read here.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

So, I might re-write this; you know, spruce it up and make it a little more angsty.

You flip through your notebook, carefully, eying the words you've written throughout your travels. The words are there, written delicately on each page, but you don't really pay attention to them. Instead, most of your attentions focused on the small body sleeping in the bed next to you.

Siffrin lies on his back in bed, the covers pulled up to their chest. His pale face - paler with everything he's been through - is bright with fever. Every now and then, he shifts in his sleep, whimpering and whining against things only he can see.

You sigh, and hopelessly flip another page in your journal. Ironically, it mentions the first time you met Siffrin, the mysterious and suspicious traveler.

Siffrin had collapsed in the midst of the celebration in Dormont for defeating the King. His fever, which seemed to have dissipated earlier, had returned with a ferocity.

(Isabeau held them close to his chest, his usual bashfulness with Siffrin's closeness overridden by his concern. "Do you think they used Craft again?" He asked, his eyes watching as you pressed a hand to Siffrin's forehead.

You frown. "It's possible," you state, pressing your hand to Siffrin's burning cheek. Your heart definitely did not break a little when he leans into your touch. "It wouldn't surprise me. Siffrin's not know to follow directions."

Isabeau smiles weakly, and he draws Siffrin ever closer to himself. Then, he freezes and looks down at Siffrin again. "What?" You ask, observing as Isabeau stares down at Siffrin.

Isabeau doesn't answer, but the color draining from his face unnerves you. "Isabeau," you press. "What's wrong?"

Isabeau shifts Siffrin in his grip, and he holds out a hand to you.

His digits are covered in blood.

Isabeau gulps. "Sif's bleeding.")

You annoyingly read the same page three times before you pull your glasses off and rub your tired eyes. You're pushing your glasses up on the bridge of your nose, when you hear muttering coming from Siffrin.

When you look, Siffrin's tossing and turning in his bed. You watch the rag that was plastered to Siffrin's forehead fall on the bed beside him. You sigh again, this time not of out of annoyance. Gingerly, you rise to your feet, head to Siffrin's bedside, and re-wet the rag.

"Calm down now, young one," you find yourself whispering soothingly. You place the back of your hand against Siffrin's forehead, brushing aside his sweaty darkless strands, and tsk at the warmth that's still there. You gently brush the rag against Siffrin's face, ignoring he tries to move away. You're careful to avoid the scarred skin around what's left of Siffrin's left eye.

As you work, you find your eyes drawn to the bandages wrapped around their chest. Without thinking, you find yourself drawing a jagged line over Siffrin's small bandaged chest.

(Siffrin - tiny Siffrin, who was the second smallest in the group - stood above you all, staring down at you with shade you've never seen. Your heart beats loudly in your ears as you watch Siffrin wail and throw the Head Housemaiden to the side.

A quick burst of fear twists your thoughts and, before you could stop yourself, you bring up your hand and summon a Paper Craft and -

You blink, and Siffrin's crying out in absolute pain. He staggers back, grabbing at his chest as his blood - a horrible new shade - bleeds through his cloak. You stare at your outstretched hand in shock.)

You clench your fist so hard, your fingernails dig into your palms.

There's a sudden sharp sob that drags you from your thoughts, and you immediately crane your head to look at the source. Siffrin's face is screwed up tight and wrought with fear, and small tears fall from behind his closed eye.

"Oh, Siffrin," you mutter in concern, and you gently wipe the tears from Siffrin's face.

Siffrin mutters.

"What?" You lean in closer.

"I'm sorry," Siffrin babbles, incoherently. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Your heart twists tightly in your chest, and you hush him as best as you can.

"No, Siffrin," your eyes begin to water. "I'm sorry."

------

You think Odile ever regarded slashing Siffrin in Act 5?

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

TW: SELF-HARM, as well as blood and negative thoughts. (Especially near the end).

You're alone in the House.

For the first time ever - since you met your family - you're all alone. You miss their warmth. You miss their voices. You miss them, not these actors you're stuck with.

You stick your hand into your pocket to check for the key for the next floor and prick your finger on something sharp. The pain is tiny in comparison to the exhaustion and fatigue that coats your entire body and mind. You pull the sharp object out and stare at it.

It's a sharp piece of glass.

You hold the glass in your palm and watch as the light bouces off it. Then, slowly - like you're no longer in your own body - you raise your left arm. You peel back the sleeves of your lightless shirt until your pale darkless skin is exposed.

You stare at the unmarred flesh on your arm. Distantly, you're aware of your right hand raising up, like it's attached to a string; like you're nothing but a puppet. Then, you stab your flesh over and over and over-

[Stardust! STOP!]

A familiar voice rings out throughout your head, and it drags you out of your thoughts enough that you stop. You drop the glass, and you hear it shatter by your feet. Suddenly, you're aware of the pain. The white, hot pain that thankfully drowns out everything else. You glance down at your arm, and you watch as your blood drips down and down and down.

You should be horrified by what you did, but you're not.

You're not! You're not! Why are you not bothered!? What's wrong with you?!

Instead, your eye focuses on the tiny dots that litter your skin now. The more you stare, the more realize that they all look like little-

"Stars," you mutter, and you think they look pretty.

----

Apparently, in Act 5, when you choose the piece of glass, Siffrin does some very-not-okay things with it. Also, Siffrin says this after you defeat the King.

[sonicthehedgehoglover2]

Seriously, is this game a horror game? Because Act 5 was something.
