Holiday with Gwen - Development Update 2

Hi everyone.

It's been a while since the last update on the current game. If you recall, this new game project takes place in the Snares of Ruin universe. Hank and Gwen are on a special mission in an exotic country, but there are plenty of chances to do fun activities and develop romance too. The game is a visual novel mainly with some dialogue choices.

The development is still going. It was slower than I hoped in the last few months, but it is still going. For this reason, the game is unlikely to be ready this summer as originally expected, but aiming to have it ready sometime this autumn. The exact date will be confirmed later.

Thank you all for the continuous support, comments and reviews!

Here are a couple of new screenshots from the game.



Next project development update 1

Hello everyone!

A big thanks for the support and feedback relating to 'Cold Verdict' and 'Pegasus: Broken Wings', both of which came out late last year. In this update I wanted to shed some light on the next project I am currently working on. I already briefly mentioned this one in one of the past updates, so some of you will already know what I'm talking about.

So this project will be a visual novel as well, in the same gameplay style as 'Cold Verdict', but in terms of story and genre entirely different. In fact it will take place in the 'Snares of Ruin' universe and will follow our two main protagonists - Hank and Gwen. The two detectives are sent abroad to an exotic country for a special assignment. But of course, while there, they are also going to enjoy themselves - visiting the beach, the swimming pool, the historical town areas, fancy cafes, and so on. There is of course going to be a hefty amount of romance here, and since the only romantic interest here is Gwen, there will be plenty of scenes (in some previous games, having multiple possible romantic interests, it meant players would only experience a small portion of them, so each romantic interest had a small number of them).

So there will be some detective work and action scenes and also plenty of down time, romance, and fun.

As with 'Cold Verdict', all the 3D images will be done in Daz3D. Here are a couple of screenshots.





Thanks again for all the support and stay tuned for further updates!

What's next from Astronomic Games

Hello everyone.

First of all, thanks to everyone who's already tried out Pegasus: Broken Wings that came out back in September. It's been interesting hearing what you thought of it. Some seemed to love it, while others thought it was worse than the first part, which is understandable.

I wanted to make this update to announce a couple of projects I've got in the works. As you've seen already in Pegasus: Broken Wings, I've been making use of Daz3D software to make some 3D scene images in the game. I decided to go full on with this to make some visual novels in Renpy software. It's something I wanted to try since last year but decided to finish Pegasus sequel first.

At the moment, I have two visual novel projects lined up.

The first one is a psychological thriller. Five people wake up in a dark room of a strange abandoned building and try to figure out who put them there and why. This one is going to be fairly short in length - about 1 - 2 hours, so a bit like the length of a movie. I've been planning the story of this game since the start of the year, so been putting it all together in Daz3D and Renpy over the past 2-3 months and it's nearing the end of development. If all goes well, I should be able to release it closer to the end of the year. There will be further updates on it.



The second project is only in the early stages so far, but will go full steam ahead once the above psychological thriller is fully done. This second project will take place in the Snares of Ruin universe and will involve two of the leading characters - Hank and Gwen. The two have been sent on a mission in an exotic country, but while there, they can have as much fun as they want - visit the beaches, swim in the pool, look around the old town areas, and so on. This one will be relatively light-hearted and will focus quite strongly on romance with Gwen (seeing that she's been quite the fan favourite). Once there's more on this project, I'll post some updates too.



Thank you for reading till the end and all of the support. It's much appreciated! I hope the new direction my projects are taking will not disappoint (but I will surely be reading all the feedback).
