I'm currently working hard on the story mode for Astrosphere, which will guide you as a player and add more structure and purpose to the gameplay. My first focus is on developing the story for the beginning of the game, ensuring that you have a smooth and immersive introduction.

In the next phase, I'll be gradually adding more story elements for the mid and endgame, offering exciting twists and challenges as you progress further into the game.

I kindly ask for your patience as I continue to make improvements. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me, and I take it seriously. Together, we'll keep making Astrosphere better and better.
