Adastra Public Build 0.1
🕑 Added 2018-12-14 23:17:52 +0000 UTCSo here it is! The first build of a new visual novel that I've been working on in between Echo updates. It's a single-route (for now), romantic, sci-fi adventure with some political intrigue mixed in. Tell me what you think!
The wonderful sprite art is done by Haps. You can find him on twitter @GotSomeHaps
The also wonderful background art is done by BlackSun. You can find her under the name BlackSunDi on Furaffinity.

Wow! Very intriguing.
Just wanted to tell you that I pledged after this demo. It's really something great! Glad you'll keep working on it.
Jordan Kale
What you have so far is excellent. You could keep it on a single route and it would still keep me hooked. Please keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed the demo!

Just found out about Adastra through watching a YouTuber I like, having done a video on it. I love Amicus. He's adorable.

Just logged in to say i liked the game! The artstyle is cute and hot, story is right up my alley (escapist fantasy) and i can't wait for more amicus updates! The only drawback seems to be that there's no choices and the scare animations (amicus flipping out) seem instant, but maybe that's WIP.

Just got to playing it, and I'm loving Adastra so far! Amicus is very likable and relatable and the writing flows very well, I can't wait to see more!

You can support us through this Patreon! The funds go towards developing three visual novels; Echo, Adastra, and the upcoming Echo prequel 1915. Adastra and 1915 will become the main focus at the start of next year once I finish writing for Echo.
Howly
It will become a main project alongside 1915 once I'm finished writing on Echo, probably around the spring of next year.
Hi, i'm liking it so far, and the art is pretty good, the cartoony style is very lively and expresive! also, how do i suport this particular one?
Will this be the main project for you once Echo is completed?
I like it a lot, the reaction of the principal characters was really natural, and the characters are really cute. I am hoping to see where this goes.

Ha! Putting the Roman in romance, am I right? Seriously though, this is pretty cute so far. Please go on.
Man, I'm really hyped to see where this goes. Great job!
DreCate
Great work! Somehow it feels like in this VN the MC has more agency than echo, but it's probably because of a difference in genre.
This is really great so far love the attention to detail for the charters can't wait for next update
SatanicQueen

Shirokami
Im looking forward to more updates. This is good so far.

Hey will this be a one off Visual novel or could there be the possibility of a sequel at some point after it's finished? i know it's still to early to think about that, but so far this already has a lot of world development and it would be cool to continue expanding it.
Howly
It's up!
darien barnes
will there be a android version
Evandill
I'm excited to see more of this, it gives off a great first impression as I really got into the interactions and the world it sets up.
Grawl
So far, it might be one of the best first impression of a VN I've had in a while. Art is amazing, love the interactions between main character and Amicus and the backgrounds are beautiful. Can't wait for the next version!
Howly
We will be releasing an android version in the next few days.
Howly
Thanks! Hoping for a January or February release of the next demo!
Emmanuel Greene
Looking forward to more of this, i do hope we get an update soon.

this reminds me of what we do to animals or more pokemon but roles reversed. as a trainer we cause harm to these creatures and abduct them from their habitat to come with us. we think their intellect is lesser than our own. the pokemon/animals never question why we hurt them and kidnap them from their homes, most just are still happy and be our source of food/battling pets. but when it happens to this human, they actually ask why this was done to them. the alien in question never even considers this prior treating said human on the same level of respect as them, assuming they're lesser hence being a pet. also its amusing the alien's brother has a prince albert piercing lol.
Welp i don't have my own pc maybe i wait for the android ver.
Kilik Odagawa
This is a LOT of content in a debut release. O3O I loved every minute of this.
I just got done playing this, and I can say that I had a blast. The writing is great as always, the art is great imo, and can't wait to see what comes next!
bloodylion
when's the next version of this game i really want to continue it it's really lovely
CameIlia
This is wonderful, you open the game and already you're hit with awesome art and some loooovely music. The writing is as good as I've come to expect from you, and I would happily pay to help the development of this vn along if you ever end up contemplating that. You're doing good work mate :>
bloodylion
wow new game .. i nee to try it
SilverS
Man, that was a really good first release. Haps did a real good job on the sprite art, Amicus is adorable in all his forms. And that ship background detail, wow, go BlackSun, geez. It's interesting to note (and I don't want to be rude by saying this), but I think the sci-fi topic style works better for you as a writer than the horror mystery style of Echo. But that's just me, opinions may vary. So, are we allowed to get any hints on what other character routes there will be and what type of characters? Cassius is possibly a route, though he may just be an all around antagonist. What other sorts of characters will there be though?
North Grizz
That's now my favourite picture of Amicus.

Must pat head, must rub tummy, must hug fluffy boy, must comment about how cute he is there
