Thank you for this wonderful game. I played my first game this morning (and actually, this was also my first ever solo RPG session) and I wanted to keep adventuring because of how free I felt on that planet. Unfortunately, I had to pack up and leave the planet because I had a lunch to go to. Well, in real life.
I absolutely love this game. I started using it as a writing exercise and then got deeper into it. I’ve started creating a large group version of it to be played with as many players as you’d like. I can send you a copy if you want?
I played my first game today, and found it to be super rewarding. The rules are simple, and you can do so much with these small prompts. I wrote about two pages, and i got to let my imagination take the reigns. I am really excited to play again and figure out what comes next.
I had been thinking about writing my own games for a while, but it wasn’t until I played Alone Among the Stars that I felt a push to actually sit down and do it, so I’m really grateful for it!
It’s an incredibly evocative and ispiring game, thanks for creating it ❤ check my own hack of it on my page, if you like :)
Hey! I recently translated "Alone Among The Stars" to Polish. So i have a quick question. How would you like to post it? Do i post it on my account and you add a link to it, or you post it on the original page?
I wrote a hack of this called Alone in the Afterlife (https://gatesphere.itch.io/alone-in-the-afterlife) -- thanks so much for this wonderful, elegant game and encouraging creative remixing. You're awesome!
(Can't wait to back Stewpot soon -- looks like a blast.)
So, I liked your game so much I made another called "This is The Way" by WOTM™ also just bought that brand, and I'm making some Custom Themed Space Cards for "This is the Way" inspired on AATS... The only difference is in TITW I included a very simple battle system for Planets and more encounters too....Good AND Evil.... by the WOTM™. How can I send you my little system so you can check it out if you want? Before I put it out there.... which is pretty soon...Also not gonna charge for my rules, but I will make very special Hand Crafted Standard Playing Cards and include 4 dice 2 for the bad guys and 2 for the player or players. Also a coin and D66 throws for chances if the player wants in certain situations.
i could've gone the great lengths describing how come
this game is now one of my fav things in the universe,
but sharing my deeply personal experiences would only spoil it for the future fellow adventurers lol. game's endless, instantly approachable, easily hackable (=moddable). chances are you'll have a great time and will come back to pay for it feeling good about supporting an artist and feeling funny about putting a price tag on something priceless.
"rules" are not complex but deep and will take less than 4 minutes to read and memorise and begin

Adding to the list of ways to play Alone/Together Among the Stars, I've made a generator over on Perchance: https://perchance.org/alone-among-the-stars

I've been having a great time playing this once every few days. The words just flow.

As I say in my review, this is the game that introduced me to solo journaling games ❤
I love its simplicity and how few prompts help me to create worlds and adventures. I've been playing again recently and I had lot of fun!
I'm so grateful for this game, thank you so much for creating it and sharing it!
I just found a copy of this on my local library's zine exchange rack, and I'm looking forward to playing it and seeing what else you've got!

Were there any significant changes between V.1 and V.2? I can’t find my original download of V.1 *is sad*

it's so cute
Hi. I really like your game. It's so relaxing and simple. I really like sci-fi and space exploration.
Actually, I translated it to Spanish and made a zine with some drawings made by me. It's OK if I publish it here in itch.io?
this game is a machine to find beauty within you
