We’ve moved! Published by James on 14/03/2026

As of this afternoon, I’ve completed the process of moving the Star Heretic website over from cultofgalaxy.com to starheretic.com – making starheretic.com the new official home for all things Star Heretic!

Expanding combat encounters Published by James on 28/02/2026

I’ve spent the entire month of February working on some of Star Heretic’s most crucial features, but with Chel having been really quite busy with the character animations, I’ve had to tackle these on my lonesome thus far. What matters for now is that they work, and it’s progress…

Abilities and items Published by James on 31/01/2026

It’s often remarked that January feels like the longest month, and it definitely has felt like it this year. Was New Year really only a month ago? Still, if we’re a full month now into 2026, then that makes it time for another monthly update on all things Star Heretic and Cult of Galaxy!

2026 is here! Published by James on 31/12/2025

It’s that time of the month again, and it’s also that time of the year, which means it’s time for another monthly, and also yearly, update. 2025 has been yet another really big year for us, and 2026 looks set to be even bigger as we continue to work towards sharing with you our next demo!

Looking ahead! Published by James on 30/09/2025

Although it’s been a year of both ups and downs, we’ve made some really great progress on Star Heretic’s development since we released our first playable demo. Now that we have a game design document, we’re finally able to actually think about a timeline for the release of our second demo…

Cult of Galaxy Shop temporary closure Published by James on 02/08/2025

This is just a quick notice to announce that the Cult of Galaxy Shop has been temporarily shut down. Since we’re not actively promoting our merchandise at the moment, the Shopify monthly platform fees have been costing us more than we have been earning back in sales…

Announcing ‘Star Heretic’! Published by James on 31/07/2025

It’s been a while since our last proper blog update, but between the ongoing development of our game, the redecoration of our office, and some exciting changes in how we’re going to be structuring things going forward, it’s been a busy time for the Cult of Galaxy team…

‘The Birth, Rise, and Fall of Galaxy’ – read now! Published by James on 11/06/2025

Chel and I are both happy to announce that you can now read all five pages of the ‘Birth, Rise and Fall of Galaxy’ comic here on our website! The production of this comic has been a mammoth undertaking, but at long last, it’s the realisation of a story that we first wrote together nine years ago…
