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.

We're still hard at work on The Astra Protocol but doing a lot of backend stuff means we've got nothing new to show

So why not see, or hear, something old. Last year we released a soundtrack for AP 2. Give it a listen!

This Friday we're dropping another piece of concept art for The Astra Protocol.

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...
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Thanks! Shows that we're moving in the right direction for the sequel!

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?

Thanks, still very early in development, but it hopefully shows the style we're going for

Thanks! It's actually a new one / the third in the series, but we've opted for Hollywood naming by dropping the number 3 and adding a 'The' to the start.

First #screenshotsaturday in a while, so here's an early WIP shot of the Navigation Screen we're working on for The Astra Protocol.
