New features we're working on for Astra Protocol Remake includes improvements the routing & pathfinding.
In the original the enemies would fly anywhere.
For Astra Protocol 2 they'd only avoid planets.
Now we're working on them avoiding anything that causes damage.

This Friday we're dropping another piece of concept art for The Astra Protocol.
Introducing the H Shipπ
We wanted to create something which had an obvious silhouette when viewed on a monitor. What do you think to the design?

To move forwards, perhaps we should look at our past?
Prototyping Astra Protocol in The Astra Protocol engine.
That's the first game (Astra Protocol) in the new game (The Astra Protocol)'s engine
This naming convention won't cause confusion...

New vs Old
A very early WIP for the helm module in The Astra Protocol vs that in Astra Protocol 2
We've removed the compass and incorporated it into the main view. In the space that was left we've added a radar.
Which style looks better?
