An edit of the 'I miss my wife' comic. The wife in the photograph has been replaced with Mackenzie Cathays from Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog whilst the face of the man in the remaining panels has been replaced with the profile image of user Walitmedes. The sacks have been marked 'supporting game devs'

We miss her too, guys, and we're hard at work so that we can all see her again.
A comic that starts with a photograph of Cassandra Quinn from Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog held in a man's hands. In the second panel the man is looking at the photo looking sad. In the third panel he tucks the photo into his pocket and adjusts his cap. In the final panel he's carrying two heavy looking sacks marked 'GAME DEV'. The Stories from Sol elements were added over the original comic.

A rough piece of concept art for Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog showing a rough UI, piece of character art and background next to a scribbled circa with overlapping colour saying 'Just make it exist first'. Below that is a full screenshot of Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog showing a final UI, background and character sprite next to a perfectly drawn circle with colour that doesn't exceed the line and the text 'You can make it good later'.

Every so often we get someone who discovers an old post containing Chief Mackenzie Cathays and when they share it we see a surge in new followers.

So do your part for Space Colony Studios today by sharing this image of everyone's favourite muscle-bound, hyper focussed Chief Engineer!

Pack it up. An AI generated article about Gun-Dog has a better plot than the one I wrote. The machine future is here.
An AI generated article about Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog. It falsely states that the plot of the game is about being the ship's AI and ferrying different passengers.

AI could never.

You fools don't know what you're doing.
The picture contains a sprite of Vanessa Lord from Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog in a smug pose with her hands on her hips. She has a menacing red glow around her eyes and is surrounded by screen captures of Blue Sky users showing their appreciation for her with comments like 'I could fix her but I wouldn't' and 'She is just a lil' mew mew'.

If you haven't bought Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog whilst it's on sale now is the time!

It's an INDIE VISUAL NOVEL / ADV with potential YURI ROMANCE, a choice for a NON BINARY PROTAGONIST, an 80s MECHA ANIME aesthetic, it's set in SPACE and pays tribute to classic SCIENCE FICTION.
