When Aster Falls is getting an update!

When Aster Falls
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Yup! After being released for over two years (!), WAF is finally getting one last little bit of polish!


I've been wanting to come back to When Aster Falls for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of the work I did at the time, but I've learned a lot in the meantime and I want to make sure WAF stands up to the other games I've made, and ones I'm yet to release :3

Here's a little changelog of things to look forward to!

  • Three (!) brand new sketch CGs for the middle section of the game - be sure to choose every hangout option with Aster to see 'em all!
    • These new CGs are by @Quirkyne, please give 'em a follow!
  • Updated UI, that still feels like the original, and with lots of bells & whistles like rollover sounds, OpenDyslexic option for dialogue text, and 3 different options for textbox transparency
  • Freshly proofread script, with a few lines rewritten for clarity
  • Aster's sprite has been polished (her horns redrawn to fit better with the rest of Shida's spritework), and there's new CC backgrounds
  • Lots of other little fixes like audio looping and other asset tweaks

There's only a few little changes to come, so expect the rerelease in the next few weeks. The best thing? It'll still be up for free, forever!

Get hype! And follow our twitter for updates ;3c
