Rivers of Astrum: Daughter of Darkness News

Progress Update!

Hey Everyone!

Here with a status update!

So, while trying not to be too long winded, or spoilery, here's where we're at:

  • This update structure contains a linear scene, as well as the first part of a massive free-roam. The linear scene is completely written and rendered, starting on animation work today ...

  • The
  • framework* for the freeroam segment has all been built (from scratch), mapped and rendered in full. I tested it yesterday, everything's flowing like a champ!

  • There are close to 20 events that branch off of it, though. I've got ~80% of those side events written, with 2 completely rendered, as well as a bit of the third. So, all in all, i'd say this update is about ~15% complete.


If I get this first path of the freeroam done in an acceptable amount of time, then i will include the second branch as part of this update as well. But we'll see where things land :) I want to try to keep everything within a 3 months release cycle, as best i can. (This isn't a guarantee, just a rough timeline for me to keep track)

Anyway, thought you guys might like to know! :)

And, if anyone remembers "Kiara" - the woman from that training yard, that stepped up to fight colt in training - She gets a face reveal. Due to how well she was received, and liked, I've decided to transition her from a one-off side character, to a recurring one. You will see *much* more of Kiara in the coming updates ;)

Post Launch Bugfix!

Hey everyone!

Missed a few references from the pre-launch scrub! Update available now!

Version 0.2.1.6b (Bug Fix):

  • Scrubbed 2 stray references to pre-steam Supporter content, that were causing the game to crash, if the Gallery was viewed from certain screens.

Official Steam Launch!

Hey everyone!

It's been a long time coming (on my end, at least), but Rivers of Astrum: Daughter of Darkness is now officially live on Steam!



Follow Kimberly Ashmoore (and her pet squirrel, Dee!) a young orphaned woman, as she journeys through the realm of Astrum, becoming embroiled in mysteries, plots and dangers that no one could have predicted!



The world of Astrum can be a beautiful and deadly place. The story can get fairly dark at many points. For that reason, the game contains nearly 40 in-game content filters for players to enable/disable content that doesn't suit their tastes. They can be accessed through the game's "Preferences" page. Please don't forget to use them! The story also has both heterosexual, and lesbian content, but since the story centers largely around a lesbian woman, the lesbian content cannot be toggled off. However, the hetero content can.



I want to take this time to thank everyone for their interest in Rivers of Astrum: Daughter of Darkness! Please feel free to visit the Discussion pages if you have any feedback, encounter any bugs, or just want to discuss the characters or the plot! I will make larger announcements here, but if you're the type that likes to get more real-time updates, then the game's Discord Server is where you want to be!

Best Wishes!,
