Hey Oracles,

We are researching some oracle plushie options for Astrea and I really wanted to get the community consensus on the idea and see which oracles you would be interested in being a plushie.

If you want to vote, join the Astrea Discord and vote for which oracle plushie you would be interested in coming to life in the #announcements channel!

Hey Oracles,

I'm happy to announce that we are starting an open beta for Mod Support.
We are looking for beta testers to help creating mods and testing the tools.

We created a system to make mods from JSON (a text file), this way non-programmers can also create mods without previous programming knowledge.
These are the JSON Mods supported right now:

• Create New Character Die
  
• Modify Character, Sentinel and Enemy Dice
  
• Create Starter Dice Sets
  
• Create Virtues Sets
  
• Mute Dice and Blessings
  

Also for those that want to make deep changes to the game, we already added the BepInEx for creating mods. But we are still trying to make modding as easier as possible for modders. For instance we are creating a template for creating new Dice Actions.

In case you are interested, join us on our discord https://discord.gg/Y5EZ4nV2pB, this link leads to the mods channel that we are using for discuss mods.

To get access to Astrea Mods Beta follow this steps:

• First of all you need to get access for Steam Workshop, right now it is private since we are on beta phase. To get access to Steam Workshop, you need to enter this Steam Group https://steamcommunity.com/groups/AstreaModsBeta. After that you will be able to enter the Astrea Steam Workshop. There are already some mods there created by players from our discord;
  
• After joining this group, it is time to get access to the mod beta branch on Steam. In your library right-click on Astrea game, click on "Properties", go to the "Betas" tab and use the following password there "astreabetamod", click "Verify Code". Done, now you are on the beta-mod branch, wait for the update and you will be able to start Astrea in this new branch;
  
• Open Astrea;
  
• Click "Mod Settings" button on Main Menu bottom right after pressing start;
  
• The Astrea ModLoader will be the only item in the list. Click "Install Mod". Astrea ModLoader, is necessary to make mods start working;
  
• The game will ask you to restart the game to apply the changes, accept it, after the game closes, open the game again and everything will be set.
  

We created a section on Astrea Wiki explaining how to use the JSON Mods.

Hey Oracles,

I have some exciting news, we've been working on adding Mod Support for Astrea and we are looking for modders to help out create new mods.
💻💻💻

First thing that we are developing is a mod for virtues sets, a mod where the modder would be able to create custom virtue sets for the oracles and upload it to Steam Workshop so that other players could play with it.
We also want to add mods to change dice values/dice actions and make it easier for modders to create new actions/dice.
🤩🤩🤩

Those are a few things that we have in mind, but the idea is to find modders to collaborate so that we can make modding as easy as possible.

If you are interested we have a dedicated discord channel for Modding where we can discuss the next steps.
