Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles

 
Bug Fixes - v1.1.42May 9, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey Oracles, As I mentioned in this post from November 2023. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1755830/view/5849674468181968436 I (Leo) ended up getting sick and needed to work on Astrea post release updates slower to take care of my health. 🤒 Because of that, many bug reports ended up piling up. 😭 But I'm feeling better (not 100% though) and I decided to tackle a bunch of those bugs. 💪 So this patch is just a bunch of bug fixes! There are still more bugs to be fixed though, but they will be fixed eventually. Other than that, we are working on the v1.2, our next Major Update and I hope to have more news to share about it soon. Here is a screenshot with a little spoiler about the v1.2, can you guess what it will be? 🧐🧐🧐🧐 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41377658/4dc0c32c9ef976d0d46a5fb8b8c709293f765c65.png Patch Notes General Now when creating a mod there is no need to add "+" to the die name of Balanced, Risky and Epic versions, the game will automatically do that using the "DieTier" field.

An important note is that we created a system for non-programmers to be able to create mods without programming knowledge, using a simple text file (this method uses JSON, a text format). We called them JSON Mods. These are the JSON Mods supported right now: Create New Character Die Modify Die Create Starter Dice Sets Create Virtues Sets Create Blessings Sets Create New Sentinel Create Sentinels Sets Modify Sentinel 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 created a template for creating new actions. For more informations about mods, check out Astrea wiki Mods section https://astrea.wiki.gg/wiki/Mods Join our discord to talk about Mods (this link leads to the mods channel that we are using for discuss mods). https://discord.gg/Y5EZ4nV2pB Patch Notes General Mod Support Release!

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. https://astrea.wiki.gg/wiki/Mods May Astrea bless you 💙 ❤️ - Leonardo Castanho, community manager and lead dev of AstreaDevelopment Update: Mod SupportFeb 20, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHey 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. https://discord.gg/t9DNDxVSAy May Astrea bless you 💙 ❤️ - Leonardo Castanho, community manager and lead dev of AstreaOver 100,000 Copies Sold!!!!!!Jan 20, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41377658/a69642c29ab949be358e3dbc30187066f9249b72.gif Astrea reached over 100,000 Copies Sold within 4 months! 💫 🎲 🥳 🎉 🎲 💫 Thanks so much for your support!

May Astrea bless you 💙 ❤️ - Leonardo Castanho, community manager and lead dev of AstreaController Improvements, Localization Fixes and minor Balancing - v1.0.335Dec 14, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Oracles, As I mentioned in the last announcement we are developing the post release updates of Astrea a little bit slower, I was sick in the last announcement and I'm still sick now, one month later, sadly. My back still hurts a lot and my burnout is not better and when for some reason I get some inspiration to get back to work in the game, my back start hurting in 1/2 hours of work, really frustrating. I'm already taking care of myself and hope to get healed as soon as possible, hope after the holidays I will be better, I'm looking forward to work on the Daily Runs! I will be on vacation for a whole month now and the rest of the team will have 2 week vacation during the holidays, but we will be around in case any emergency happens or a cool discussion appears xD One last thing about this matter, I really want to thanks all the kind words that were posted on the last post and thanks for understanding that my health needed to be a priority right now, it really means a lot to me, I felt really relieved, because I was scared this could be a big problem for Astrea. Thanks so much for your patience. Felipe is still working normally on the post release updates and will do his best to improve the game with QoL and bug fixes. But because he is only one person we couldn't tackle as many bugs as we wanted. But he did make a lot of improvements to the controller itself, please feel free to share your feedback about the controller changes, if guys have other suggestions that we can do it we will do it =D Also in this patch I tried to make some balancing specially for Moonie since she felt too weak on high anomaly levels, I focused on buffing her starting kit, Enhance and Doom build, since the Hex build seems fine. We will keep trying to balance out Astrea until it feels super polished and all oracles and enemies feels fair. And one super important thing, this patch brings a whole new proofread to Korean and Traditional Chinese, those two localizations were clearly with big problems where lot of descriptions were impossible to understand, but now we hope to have fixed those problems and they should be in a better state now. Please feel free to give feedback about the localization on those two languages. Patch Notes General Added a highlight to the current action from actions descriptions that changes the current action depending on a condition (Example: Eclipse Blast from Sothis). Now the graphics settings is saved differently for each specific device. Controller Improvements Added a highlight to the current selection and improved controller navigation. Now it is possible to hide Bottled Aurora, Astral Calling, Void Seek and Precision UIs to navigate through the battle UI (dice on hand, virtues, enemies, etc.). Skip reward and leave shop button now changed to a hold input instead of having to move to the button. Now whenever you select a reward or shop item, the controller highlight will move to the confirm button automatically. Added an input for switchi...Nominate Astrea for Most Innovative GameplayNov 21, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey, Oracles! Steam Awards starts now and I want to pitch to you guys to vote for Astrea for Most Innovative Gameplay. Steam Awards voting starts now! The Steam Awards are a community-voted celebration of the best games on Steam, announced every year. There are many categories that we can vote Astrea for however it is best we unite to vote on one category for Astrea!! We're asking players to band together and vote Astrea for Most Innovative Gameplay. Dual damage that gives players a difficult choice to heal themself or damage the enemy with purify or vice versa with corruption. Virtues reward players who can balance their corruption levels and bring more tools to the oracle. Every run you choose the weak by reliable safe dice, or the powerful but possibly devastating risky dice when building a deck. These are just some of the sweet innovations that Astrea brings to roguelikes that we want you to vote for! -Riv Otter Astrea Post Release Development UpdateNov 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Oracles! How are you doing? Hope you are having fun with Astrea! So... I wanted to take a minute to talk about Astrea post release development and why it's been a while that we don't send a new patch. As I mentioned before we are only two programmers, where one is also working on XBox porting alongside some Astrea's features and the other one (myself) is also the lead game designer and producer of the game, which means that we have a lot to do and if one of us get sick, the development gets slower and guess what? I'm sick... I've been overworking/crunching in Astrea for about 1 and half years now, working way more than 40hours per week (my notes says 65 hours per week average, with some weeks working 100 hours), skipping many weekends and holidays, trying to make Astrea as polished as possible and with as much content as possible. Maybe I could have slow things down before, I don't know, but I never felt that it was an option, the feeling was that I needed to give everything that I had to it. I guess I knew that it was a lot of work for the size of our team and the amount of time we had and I didn't see other option since I didn't want to make the scope smaller =P But now this overwork is charging it's price. Since the release of the patch v1.0.197 that made the game much more stable my brain simply melted, I started feeling depressed and I've been struggling to even look at my work station since then. Honestly it was hard to even stay inside my house (I work from home). So I ended up working less than expected on the last weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm having a burnout right now, honestly... Then this week I started to get a little bit better and decided to work normally and guess what? I started having a lot of pain in my back, I had to go to the emergency because of the pain. Now I can't sit or stand for too long or my back hurts a lot. With all that said, I will need to slow things down and take care of my health (mental and physical). I'm not trying to make anyone pity of me or anything I'm just trying to be honest and open. I don't want anyone thinking that we abandoned the game or anything. We will keep working on Astrea, we want to bring more content, more QoL, bug fixes and balancing, but in a slower pace. I will take 1 week vacation now, will be back on November 27th. Other team members will be around in case you need help or have any questions. And I will take another vacation at the end of the year (this time the whole team actually). Astrea Post Release Development Update Now update about the development itself, these are our higher priorities. Controller Support Improvements Inoue (the other programmer) has been working on XBox porting, but also he is improving the controller support. The first thing he is working on and I think the most important one is the controller selection highlight, now there will be a highlight showing where the controller current selection is, here are three screenshots on how it is looking at the moment: {...Astrea joins Turn-Based Carnival + USB Cassettes fully fundedNov 17, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsHey Oracles, I have a pair of exciting announcements for Astrea!
