Hello everyone!
It has been a long time but I just pushed out a patch to update the introduction! Why? I changed some things with the lore to fit a prequel I have written and begun development on called The Architects of the Universe: The Orbital Wars
I am a solo dev and the last year of my life has been very busy in a good way, but things are settling and I can get back to my creative endeavors.
I have an entire universe timeline that I have been pecking away at for roughly 15 years. The Orphans was far and away the most fleshed out, but it is just one of roughly eight planned stories.
As I develop more of the others there could become more and there could be less.
If you want to see the updated lore, just start a new game, go through the opening cut scene. Then talk to Mother, use the dialog option "How did we get here?" and talk to her about The Orbital Wars.
The rest you'll have to find out when I finish that game.
