[p] [/p][p]We recently participated in the G-STAR game show held in Busan. Many people played our game and provided us with a lot of valuable feedback. Thank you very much.[/p][p][/p][p]Regarding our future plans, we intend to organize the feedback we received and implement improvements into the game accordingly.[/p][p][/p][p]We plan to create a new demo version incorporating these improvements and update the Steam demo in the near future. Once this is complete, we will work on the next chapter and proceed with development towards Early Access.[/p][p][/p][p]We will continue to keep you updated on new features and changes throughout this process via these community announcements.

[p][/p][p]Hello everyone! This is the “Astra Village” development team. 👩‍🌾✨[/p][p]Today, we’re introducing the renewed tutorial map.[/p][p][/p][p]First, please take a look at the video.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Please note that the content is under development and may differ from the final release. Thank you for your understanding.[/p]

[p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]✔ Tutorial Video[/h3][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]The UI looks quite different from the existing Steam Demo version.
First, various small props have been placed in what used to be an empty background, and weathering/grunge details have been added.[/p][p][/p][p]It expresses the idea of following a path,
and the repeated, similar scenery creates a mysterious space.[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve also added features to help players understand the controls better—
for example, letting you eat an onigiri over multiple bites and placing a ghost that shows how to do farm work.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]✔ In Closing[/h3][p][/p][p]We plan to update the Steam Demo version in the near future.
We will be participating in the G-STAR game exhibition starting on November 13.[/p][p]
We intend to collect feedback there, make improvements, and then release the update. Please look forward to it![/p][p][/p][p]“Astra Village” is live on STEAM and Discord.
We’d be grateful if you could add it to your wishlist and follow us.
