AstraX Release Plan 2023: Where it's going
AstraX » Devlog
Since this game is growing, I've created this rough release schedule for the next half of a year and will try to stick to it. It should illustrate the direction it is heading to and is very likely to change.

Thats a tight schedule for implementing so many different things. Looking forward to the 0.3 update. I'd love to test out new features and provide feedback.
Did you also get inspiration from No Mans Sky?
hey there, thanks for the comment! There's going to be an announcement once the new version is finished (there's an UI update that is currently in the works, iirc).
I try to stick to that schedule it as much as I can, it works if I am in a productive phase. The game is currently in a hiatus, I guess. Sadly I can't say how long that will last, but it's in the back of my head :)
I haven't actually played No Man's Sky. This game is technically a remake of my very first one (started in 2011). It sadly never saw the light of day, but AstraX will.
Hi,
Thanks for your response. It's perfectly fine to take a hiatus. Nobody can keep up coding 24/7/365. Surely that wont do the quality of the code any good either.
I will check back frequently. I think itch.io will send me notifications when there's an update on this project.
