Selara
A downloadable game
Hello! and welcome all new comers! I'm Sacred Sage and my current project is Selara. This is my second protect so I have learned a lot since I first started working on my last VN Reclusive Bay.
The main story takes place eighty years after leaving Earth when you wake up from cryostasis in the middle of an uprising. You are the new commander of a ship called The Herald. Now it's up to you to save humanity while also earning the trust of your crew members. As the story progress you find out that the uprising is the least of your worries.
There are no wrong choices in Selara. Also you can't succeed every choice. You will fail them too depending on stats. That is not a bad thing though. You never know what will come from a failed attempt, you may like that outcome better.
if you want to see some of the changes in Selara I have a video you can view below.
A big thank you for just showing interest in my newest project. ^_^
If you are considering to help support me. I encourage using Subscribstar since I had to cancel my Patreon and BuyMeACoffee.

Muting the voice acting doesn't seem to work. Tried both doing so during the scene, and muting them from the main menu before starting a new game. Tried both options (I assume Muted = white/selected, like the other options, but checked just in case). The only way to shut down the AI voices is to turn the voice slider down entirely.
I'll look into it as soon as I have time. Full time job currently sucking all my time away dealing with hurricane clean up.
** Post Edit**
It was easier than I thought. Just checked and tested so the next update I have out will have it installed. For Itch, not the upcoming update, but the following one.
Absolutely - take care of you and yours, dove. Real life comes first. <3 Stay safe.

I looked into it. And all my voices seem to turn off and on just fine. If you tried the muting of MC BEFORE you choose u name. It will play. Once the make your name it mutes. Thats because how renpy characters works in coding.
Tested it myself, but the voices can be turned off as soon as the Commander shows up on screen at the start of the game, before naming. It's just the unnamed prologue bit with the spaceship background that can't be deactivated by a toggle (nor the NPCs, such as the Saboteur that finds the Commander shaking off the cryosleep). In other words - turning off the Commander works great, even before he's named; turning off the unnamed NPCs and the untitled announcer at the start does not (presumably because there's no toggle coded for them).
That being said... one more toggle for "other characters" might be an easy way to set it up, if people just want the named characters to be voiced - just attach anything that's not coded for one of the toggled voices to that last category (including the prologue bit).
In all honesty, from what little I know of Ren'Py coding... going back through to tag all of those would be a living nightmare - and anyone that's going to go as far as wanting to mute that much of the voice acting is probably simply going to use the voice slider to mute the lot, like I did. My original post was just to bring up a potential bug, but I'm all sorted - thank you for looking into it, and thank you for such an auspicious start to a promising game! We're eagerly awaiting more (though, as stated earlier, real life comes first - it's worth the wait). <3
Sorry for the late response XD. I read your post and had my wheels turning a bit. How renpy works with how I did voices there is a voice tag. I think you may have a good idea here. I could have all minor characters under the same voice tag to mute them all. I have jotted this down and will make that change when I can. Probably wont be for a patch or 2 as itch updates lags behind for marketing purposes. So yeah, thanks for the feedback :D
Just to let you know , you might have forgotten to hit a checkbox or something. There is not a download for the Itch app
will we be getting the PC version today as well? there is only the mac version currently
it's a market version. It's both. Itch is wonky at times though.
hey do y’all know when the other part will be released?????
I release in small updates. Images, animations etc takes time. No regular schedule dates. Just when it's done.
I am really enjoying this game so far, except for one thing. I love having them actually talk, but the music drowns out their voices making it very difficult. There are no settings to adjust volumes. only mute individuals or all characters. Am I missing something?
You can lower music in the settings.
I found it now. Thanks. I wasn't aware of settings that weren't on the screen and I had to scroll down to see them. Got it now. Thanks again!
How do you open this game on Mac?
I imagine extracting the files the same way as on windows.
If the game is just a .exe, then you need wine wrapper in order to run it.
harem or one girl kinda story?
Sorry I missed this reply. Selara is not a harem. Some paths will be a relations with more than 1 girl though.
which girls are solo Li paths?
Any girl can be solo. and a few can be multi.
Is this game still being released on itch.io?
I checked the dev's subscribestar and it seems that update 4 was released a month ago.
It is. I have a 4 split path I am working on based on choices. and each of those split slightly as well. XD also I do work full time at my regular job. ^^
Ok, Thanks for the response. The game is very interesting so far and I am looking forward to more. I like the renders, story setting and choices.
Thanks!
мы избавимся от ужасной бороды?
There's a great banger song during the commander shower scene. A real groovy track with great guitars and a some bass-thudding. Is it yours? Or is it possible to find it somewhere on youtube/spotify?
Also amazing game! Keep it up!
All music can be found in the dedication file. you just have to open it up in a code program ;) it is not my personal music ^_^
