Astatos v0.6.4 - Exchange Part 2

To the Crown Mages,

This update includes some minor balance tweaks, bug fixes, and this month’s new Hero Skin. While this patch is light on content, we’re currently working on revisions for Chapter I of the story, including the addition of Story Trials.

After discussing with the community on Discord, most felt it was better to wait until everything is complete rather than release many small patches. We hope that our players will be ok waiting a little longer! For now, you can find a brief preview of the changes below.

For the detailed list of changes implemented with Astatos v0.6.4, please read on below.

[h2]Upcoming Changes[/h2]
[hr][/hr]

Coming soon is a variety of changes to the story mode of Astatos including:
  • Story Trial gameplay, featuring nearly 2,000 additional lines of dialogue.
  • Additional story scenes for Chapter I.
  • Sprites for all named side characters.
  • Additional backgrounds.
  • Additional music.

While the artwork, music, and the majority of text is complete, we’ve still got lots of scripting work to do. We’ll be doing our best to get this out by the end of the month, but we’ll keep everyone updated on our progress!

  • Astatos now supports Steam Rich Presence, allowing your friends to see if you’re in a multiplayer room, participating in the Trial, or reading the story from the Steam friends list.
