The planned length for ASTRIA is still yet to be set in stone, though I'm hoping the final product will be a couple hours long on a first playthrough.
The demo we released in 2024 was made in 3 weeks and does not accurately reflect the game as it stands today.
Be on the look out for the TEST FIRE, releasing August 7th.
Hi, finally got around to reading your review. I'd figure I drop my response.
- The discrepancy between the music and visual style is intentional, though it wasn't supposed to be "Sega Genesis" style. We're trying to evoke an early digital synth vibe with the soundtrack, using DX7 and early ROMplers, our initial idea was a "demo tape" vibe akin to Hirokazu Tanaka's "Lost Tapes."
- Worry not, rebindable controls will be in the next demo.
- The game as a whole has been reworked and overhauled to a significant degree, the demo you had played was a mere "technical demo" that I threw together in 3 weeks.
- We will not be "fixing" the letterbox "issue," the game is designed with a 3:2 (256x240) aspect ratio and screen resolution in mind.
While the upcoming demo is rather short, too, we hope you enjoy it more. Thank you for your feedback. - Lilith
Hey! Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, we're still working on this in our spare time, development completely rebooted last year since we weren't happy with what we had. We have no plans to release a new build anytime soon, though plans may change.
We're also holding off on sharing much as to not build internal pressure and outside expectations.
