Astra - Chapter 3 (Part 1): Read Only Available Now!
Added 2021-11-16 22:09:02 +0000 UTCEDIT: Original version had a problem with romance points (especially Luna path!), please download V2 version attached now which has the fix!
Hello Patrons,
Firstly, thank you so much for being incredibly patient with Astra's development! We are being quite thorough in our approach with continuously making adjustments, continuity fixes, expanding on motivations...etc so that the final game will really be a new benchmark on what we can do!
Chapter 3 was growing really big so we decided to split it into two separate parts. This is Part 1 and will read a bit strange cause there won't be as much 'slice of life' content. The first half focuses more on the episode mission while the next part is more fluffy / romantic stuff. On another note, there is A LOT of branching paths that originate in subsections whether you were only pursuing one girl, pursuing multiple girls but unsure who you picked, picking a girl but not being clear, whether you want to keep pursuing or lock it into a friendzone, whether you pursued a girl but then hooked up at the bar...etc.
In other words, playing it outright will likely feel short as the brunt of content is from the 'horizontal' word count of branched choices and the latter half of the episode is being split to the next release! We wanted to get this in your hands ASAP so you can guys see how the game is progressing and also see how much branching there is if you are feeling adventurous. :^)
Attached is the READ ONLY version of chapter 3 (Part 1). Please note that since it is read only, everything else (gui, graphics, audio, interface, prompts, text size...etc) is currently not in and subjected to change.
PLEASE NOTE >> Previous saves are not fully supported. Yes it will load but we retroactively adjusted a bunch of episode 1 & 2 content and the new scenes may get confused due to variables being possibly 'missing'.
As always, it would help us greatly if you could fill out this survey after you are done reading:

Any feedback is also very helpful especially since we are using a more agile development process and can make larger changes (if necessary) and also make tweaks as needed. Please be brutally honest because feedback right now this early can be utilized much greater than when the game is further along in development.
Thanks again for your continued support, the team and I are excited to get your impressions on chapter 3 (Part 1)!!
Happy reading!
