The Explorer’s Log has been a concept floating around in my mind since Starfield originally launched. I wanted something I could use to record my discoveries and adventures throughout the game. After several failed attempts at properly logging my explorations, using apps, spreadsheets and just plain pen and paper, I put the idea (and the game) on the shelf for a few years.
The recent Starfield update brough the idea back to life and the Explorer’s Log was born.
Although the Explorer’s Log was created for my own Starfield tracking purposes, now shared with you all, the intent is to be able to expand it beyond it to other RPG’s like No Man’s Sky, Fallout, Oblivion etc.
Full disclosure: The Explorer’s Log is a vibe-coded application initially put together over a period of about three weeks through the use of OpenAI’s Codex as well as Claude.
