I'm here to announce the 2021 roadmap. I apologize about not saying too much outside of discord but I didn't want to announce anything until I was sure that I was ready. First, development for Astaria has never stopped, just slowed down here and there. I'm here to announce a few things.
Everything for for Open Core Alpha 1 is ahead of schedule. Open Core Alpha 1 is free for everyone. I'd like the community to vote on when OCA 1 releases and here are the options. OCA 1 releases 01/22/2021, some content will be cut but released every few days until 02/12/2021. Squire, Acolyte, Swash and Archer will be available. Chemist a few days later. OCA 1 releases 02/12/2021, all content will be included. Full list of what's included into OCA 1 will be available next week. Please vote via the Discord to let me know what you guys would prefer!
Astaria - Free Test before Early Access and Delays
Hello all! I've tried my best to make it happen for Steam Early Access but we're not at a stage I can comfortably release into EA.
With that being said, there's some of you who wonder about Astaria in it's current stage. Instead of wondering, you're welcome to come and just try it out yourself in our public test server. This server has about 1/3rd the content the development server has at the moment. As the days come by, I'll be releasing more and more content to test.
This is all for free. You don't need to buy the game or anything to test. You can either request a test key from a discord moderator or myself. Or you can download our non steam client linked on our discord channel.
Please understand, this is a very early build. Earlier than early access.
As for the delay, I'll post an announcement with the new date when I feel it's ready.
Steam Delay - Aug 2, 2019 @ 6:00pm PDT
Delayed to Aug 2, 2019 @ 6:00pm PDT.
This is our final steam release! The client could've released today but with some bugs and some more content pushes, Astaria will be pushed back 3 more weeks to ensure that our client is working as intended.
