I really love the card game. I find adult themed games with good mechanics that much more pleasing. Keep up the great work!!!

 

[Ferghus]

0.2.5 beta is out for patreons.
looks like he's been busy with this battle card crap.
I liked this game somewhat, but i hated the battle card thingy.
Now the the game will be dead to me. ffs, its a adult/erotic/porn game. not friking dungeons and dragons.

A card game focusing on cards? Surprise Pikachu face
Maybe you'll pick a game you don't obviously hate the mechanics for next time?

Maybe you'll pick a game you don't obviously hate the mechanics for next time?

Where does it say this is a card game?

Overview:

You have awakened to a world you no longer recognize, filled with unexplainable darkness and overwhelming madness. A terrifying apocalypse has given birth to monsters whose mere presence will strip the sanity from what remains of humanity.
To be God is to be mad.
~ Aharon

In a world where death is just the beginning of your misery, how can you be sure what good and evil even mean? What pulls the strings in this puppet theater of madness? Take a peek behind the veil of reality and realize how truly ignorant you actually were!

Also did you read what i wrote?
I said i hate parts of this game. not the entire game. but this card bullshit is a real killer for me.
i didnt like it then. nor will i like it in the future. improved or not, its not my thing.

And yea. i have many other games on my list

Those cards on the preview images have been there since the thread was made. You're either blind or a bleedin' idiot for thinking that would shield you from being called out.

So you went into the game, 10 minutes in realized it's a card game, and kept going even though you hate card games, and now you're upset the dev wants to refine the card game mechanics, is that right?

 

[ibuk111]

the card game is not even that hard. i just wish they would release updates more often.

Add a Chinese what?

 

[Ismjahson]

Add a Chinese what?

I feel like the word translation was quite heavily implied there

 

[Dragon59]

I feel like the word translation was quite heavily implied there

In which case, shouldn't they be asking for an English translation? It's already in Chinese.

 

[Penitensary]

"Add a Chinese" as in add a Chinese character then? There aren't any asians in the game if i recall.

 

[Dragon59]

"Add a Chinese" as in add a Chinese character then? There aren't any asians in the game if i recall.

That's why I was asking. Of course referring to a person of Chinese descent as "A Chinese," is considered rather disrespectful.

Hello everyone

I'm really sorry for the wait. My previous video editing software stopped working, so I had to find a new one. And gosh, that was so hard. Nothing was doing exactly what I was looking for. In the end, I recorded the screen with OBS Studio, edited it with Microsoft ClipChamp, and converted it to a smaller size through an online tool.

Area-based Exploration ️
In the latest version (0.3.0) of the game "Astral Lust," a captivating new game mechanic has been introduced that enhances the player's exploration experience. Moving away from the previous random exploration system, the game now features a more immersive approach called "Area-based Exploration."

Upon selecting the exploration option, players are now presented with a map showcasing various distinct areas within Asthar. Each of these areas is thoughtfully designed and tailored to host specific exploration events, ensuring a more coherent and engaging narrative. As players unlock new areas through their exploration efforts, they gain access to a range of exploration events unique to each area.


The mechanic also extends to the storytelling aspect, as story events are now intricately tied to the areas they take place in. This dynamic connection between the story and the geography of the game world adds depth and authenticity to the player's journey.

To unlock new areas, players must strategically explore the surroundings of each area. By venturing into neighboring areas players gradually expand their horizons and unveil new areas to explore. This mechanic promotes a sense of progression and encourages players to thoroughly engage with the intricacies of the game world.

The first area unlocked under this new system is the "Residential District," serving as an entry point into this revamped exploration mechanic. As players delve into this district, they will uncover exploration events and story segments specifically tailored to it.


Incorporating the area-based exploration mechanic adds a layer of strategy and anticipation to "Astral Lust," inviting players to not only immerse themselves in the captivating story and events but also to strategically plan their exploratory endeavors as they unlock the mysteries of the various distinct areas within the game world.

Thank you for reading!
Talk soon, Victorius

) 0.2.5 will have new content (as for exactly how much he didn't say), but by the looks of things 0.3.0 is focusing on gameplay not story content:

Announcements:

• 0.2.5-Alpha1 was released just before this post. All Alice's events now have NSFW sounds, with over 80 unique sounds added,
• 0.2.5-Alpha2 will be released within a week (it's almost done),
• 0.2.5-Beta will have RE: Village cosplay outfits added for Alice, Mina, Grace, and Lexi,
• 0.2.5-Beta will have story events for all the main girls!
• The next release will be 0.3.0 - and will include big changes, including the greatest combat rebalance I ever did, and give the players options at picking their own Extraordinary Pathway (class),
• The first DLC for supporters - The Black Emperor will be released along with 0.3.0. The description of it will come out later.
