Astreon 0.4 - announcements

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope the holidays are treating you well and bringing some much-needed warmth and rest.

And now, I’m here with some good news!
(At least… I think it’s good news.)
Astreon 0.4 is officially on its way! Yay…

Release Schedule

Deathwatch Captain - December 30
Interrogator Tier - January 4
Guardsman Tier - January 9
Acolyte Tier - January 13
Public Release - January 16

Originally, the plan was to release version 0.4 publicly before the New Year, but for several reasons the release had to be delayed.
(P.S. To be completely honest, the update still isn’t fully ready, I need to finish the final scene, which I’m hoping to complete within the next couple of days.)

About the Update

This update turned out really well, and it’s quite a substantial one.

The focus is on the stories of three girls, with a deeper dive into the mysteries of the overall plot. I did my best to explain the characters’ motivations in more detail and, hopefully, make the heroines feel much more alive than before. (At least - I tried.)

The Numbers

20,200+ words
1,000+ images
10 animations
6,000 lines of code
100 SFX and music tracks

Dialogues & Characters

As for the dialogues, I’ve finally figured out how to write them in a way that doesn’t make me want to jump out the window while reading them. YAY.

Regarding the heroines featured in this update:

Kalestra, her backstory is short, but important.

Astoria and her sister: (Btw, on the render above, you can see both of them. On the right is Astoria’s redesigned version, and on the left is her sister.)

It turned out that Astoria’s old model was very outdated… and honestly, kind of terrifying.
So she had to be remade. Unfortunately, this happened almost at the very end of the update, so, yeah… Very few of them with new design.

And finally, the not-so-beloved, often-hated, but still very dear Lora.
She didn’t have it easy either. Then again… none of them did.

What’s Next?

Once I finish polishing this update, I’ll immediately move on to the continuation. There’s still so much left to tell.

That’s all for now.
Happy holidays, hugs, and see you soon!

Yours truly,
NoGlory
