[h2]A new look for Astatos is here![/h2] [hr][/hr]

After hearing player feedback, we’ve refreshed the game’s logo in collaboration with the designer Kilcat. The new logo retains a similar aesthetic to the original, but improves legibility greatly.

You’ll see it already in most places in-game and on Steam, but it may take us a while to update it everywhere! We hope everyone likes the new look.

[h2]Sticker Pack III is out now![/h2][hr][/hr]

We’ve added a new sticker pack to the in-game shop, featuring six new stickers drawn by HAPS. These new stickers feature story characters from Chapter I, including Vitus, Volesus, Janus, The High Priest, The Thinnest, and Reece.

[We’ve also updated the Astatos sticker pack on Telegram here]

Note: The above additions have been released as a hotfix patch to v0.7.19 of the game, and should be automatically downloaded by Steam.

To the Crown Mages,

The latest update for Astatos is here! This update includes Regulus’ new skin, along with new game improvements and a development update.



This past month we’ve been working on upcoming content! For Cascade Trial, we’ve been building interface and progression gameplay systems— including implementing real-time 2D animation for the campaign selection menu. With luck, we will be able to release a base version of this game mode in the coming months!

We have also been working on story content for Chapter II— including scenario writing, editing, and translation. We completed another 20k words of scenario script and are nearing completion of the chapter!

Next month we hope to be able to complete the scenario and make progress on the Interlude scenes for Chapter II as well as additional CG.

For the detailed list of changes implemented with Astatos v0.7.19, please read on below.

• Various user interfaces have been redesigned— including the main menu, notices, and information windows. These designs should more closely resemble that of the shop menu and other recently added menus. Further refinements are planned in future patches!
  
• The design of Hero Ability Descriptions have been made easier to read.
• A new Hero Skin has been made available as the monthly reward. The previous month’s Hero Skin has been added to the in-game store.
