Dexter will NOT have to rescue her, in fact, it may just be the other way around. And the “damsel in distress” trope will not happen in this game. In fact, Aurora, the main female protagonist in the story, will have a big role in solving puzzles.

The full game will definitely see some re-writes and additions. So, I couldn’t really fix the faux pas I made with her in the demo. I realized this while I was programming her part, but because my buddy that plays Dexter lives on the other side of the country, I wasn’t able to pull him in for any additional voice acting. The part about Gabriela not having any good lines and not portraying female characters well, is something I agree with. It’s awesome to get feedback and hear the things that you like, don’t like or the things you think could be improved. Apart from my friends who have helped act in the game, the only other person who has seen it is my wife (and now the people who downloaded it). I also, want to thank you for your insight. “Thanks so much for playing through my game. I posted the below comments on “foehammer’s” youtube video – but now I see that the comments in his video description were actually from this article. Thanks for writing this article about my game.

Dexter Stardust has plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign in the near future and we will be sure to update this review when the campaign goes live.ĭownload The Dexter Stardust – Adventure In Outer Space Demo Here (Win & Mac)Ĭategories Adventure, Beta test Program, Download, Funny games, Indie, kickstarter, Mac Tags adventure, Dexter Stardust, Dexter Stardust - Adventures in Outer Space, Dexter Stardust - Adventures in Outer Space: Night of the Hollow Moon, Dexter Stardust demo, indie, point and click Post navigation Still, even with its quirks and problems, Dexter Stardust is a promising title that, with some refinement, could make for a truly out-of-this-world adventure. The game could use a little more consistency in its art direction, as its decision to use digitized photographs during cutscenes doesn’t quite work. The UI for interactions is slick and easy to use, and the puzzles are well-thought out and fun to complete. In so far as novelty is concerned, Dexter Stardust doesn’t really introduce anything new to the point-and-click genre, although that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Both portrayals feel very jarring and lack the wit present elsewhere in the demo. Likewise, Gabriela, the demo’s only female character with whom you can interact, also gets the short end of the stick as your only possible dialogue with her consists of sleazy pick-ups lines.
Both Jedo and his cousin Carlos are downright cringe-worthy stereotypes that feel out of place in the otherwise fun space adventure. However, and that really is a big “however”, Dexter Stardust needs to seriously reevaluate its portrayals of its latino and female characters. Somehow the awkward voice-acting manages to compliment - rather than detract from - the flow of the game’s conversations and Dexter’s frequent soliloquies. The writing in most of the demo is on-point. From its space-western styling to its quippy dialogue, the world of Dexter Stardust feels believable while still not taking itself too seriously. Right from the get-go, it’s clear that Dexter Stardust draws inspiration heavily from sci-fi comedy classics like Space Balls and cult-hit shows like Firefly. You play as Dexter Stardust, an almost charming hula-girl salesman, as he tries to help his ex-girlfriend uncover the truth behind her brother’s sudden disappearance. Dexter Stardust – Adventures in Outer Space: Night of the Hollow Moon is a point-and-click adventure game that feels like a bizarre, slightly less adult, sci-fi sequel to the Leisure Suit Larry franchise.
