I'm not going to lie, I toyed with the idea that the third and final chapter of Stellar Mess would involve a trip back in time, suggesting that the previous two chapters were an elaborate hoax orchestrated by Diego's father and his production company to get Diego (their star creative writer) back, who after being forced to write sequel after sequel of what he considered his most important work, he escapes to Argentina.
This can be seen in several shared screenshots of the game in development.
But the thing is, I've never really enjoyed science fiction movies/games that end with the idea that everything is a hoax, a dream, like a drug-induced optical illusion produced by mental illness or something like that. That's why I decided to steer the wheel toward a pure science fiction story and follow the direction the story was taking, that is, rescue the princess, help the rebellion, and become an anonymous hero for the entire galaxy.
Now a new problem arises: What to do with the “post-credits scene” of Stellar Mess: Operation Kush (ch.2)?
Shoul I go all "George Lucas" style and change the chapter and hope nobody notice the difference?
Even better! Let's go with the idea that this scene is a VHS reproduction that Claire shows Diego at the base of the four while Data prepares their transport to the northern part of the city, and let's leave this post-credits scene as an “idea” that Claire has for making a movie about her adventures with Diego and Data (idea that is not widely accepted by Diego).
Great! now I can continue
Till next post!
