Hand-to-hand with KY-L3, shooting with Khadar, or knives with Nerissa? The combat specialisation you've chosen for your Traveler will affect the mentor you train with in Episode 8.
Depending on your previous choices, they'll either be impressed with your combat capability or will be able to give you the boost you need to take on the crew's newest mission: eliminating Wren.
Which mentor is your Traveler on track to train with, and will you be playing through multiple ti...

Since most people were curious about Nerissa's feelings on Damon in particular, here's a snippet of the scene!
After seeing how happy MC's LI makes them, Nerissa can't help but feel happy for their sibling in turn (as any good sister should!). You'll find that most of the scenes go the same way, though Nerissa does have more of a reservation towards one person in particular (I'm sure we all know who that is).

A sneak peek at one of our illustrations for Episode 8! In the next Episode we'll be featuring the resolution of Ryona's story arc, and this peaceful moment with her dad seems like the perfect way to wrap it all up.

Our playlist from Episode 4 will take you back to Cursa, and the first meeting with Alisa and Zane!
Which track from the playlist is your favourite? (we're particularly fond of Exotics!) 🎧
2023-10-10 05:41:56 +0000 UTC View PostIn the next update, you'll most likely notice a couple of different tracks throughout the game being switched out by new ones. One of the tracks is Back Alley Backbeats by Tim Kulig, which will be featured in Episode 4 during the scene where MC runs away from the fight with the K'Merii.
We like this track's slow, subtle cybe...

The younger sister of Fenris and Gabriel, Salla enjoyed growing up in her role as princess, knowing with two older brothers she would never have to take on the responsibility of the throne. She was close with her mother, Elena, the two of them sharing a strong bond.
At the age of fourteen, Salla's father, King Magnus, and his heir to the throne, Prince Gabriel, were suddenly and shockingly killed when their ship malfunctioned during a return trip from the Neso System. The throne was the...

Hi everyone!
We can't quite believe we're at the end of September already... where has the time gone?! Our update this month is much the same as the last one, we're still quietly working on Episode 8, and currently focusing on pulling the first few scenes together to start off a beta for our Patrons to get their hands on.
There's been a lot of planning going on this month as we start heading towards the end portion of the game, making sure that the outline for the...

The first of our CG's for Episode 8 is complete! In this final version of Zovack's mini-CG we've added in some last-minute touches, including scarred gills on his neck, and deepening the yellow tone in his eyes, both of which you'll also see reflected in his final sprite once we're done with it.

WIP of one of our CGs for Episode 8, a mini-CG of Zovack himself!
This will be the first glimpse MC gets of our villain, who will be showing up on screens system-wide to address the people of Seleota.
Stay tuned to find out what he has to say!

A little bit of Zovack, just for you 😋
Now that you've got a better glimpse of our big baddy, how do you think MC will react to seeing him for the first time?

Tea is busy working on one of our new backgrounds, the gazebo!
This background will be one of the date spots in After Dark, and we will also add it into the main game, to give more of a dynamic to the scenes that are located in the gazebo.

• In the world of Andromeda Six, the ship is classified as a 'cruiser', which is built to house multiple people and travel long distances (in this case the A6 can house a total of eleven people).
• Rooms consist of a Captain's Quarters, six individual rooms, and an extra room with four bunks.
• Vexx sleeps in the bunk room, with Damon having temporarily moved in to keep an eye on him (he even let him have the top bunk).
• The CQ and some of the individual rooms h...

Tea is doing some concept work for a surprise character we'll be introducing in Episode 8! Our new character is a bit of an easter egg and someone you'll only meet by choosing certain choices in the game...
We'll share some more info about him soon, but for now enjoy the visually stunning collage Tea has put together for his introduction 😆
Hi everyone!
We don't have too much news to give this month apart from letting you know that we're still hard at work! Most of our work so far has gone into Episode 8, and we're hoping to have a good chunk of that done before delving deeper into After Dark.
As we're working on a character creator for AD, something we've never done before, we've got our hands full with creating all the assets and fun options we want to make available for it. We'll also be opening a...

Alisa (full-name Alisa Armbrust) grew up in District 3 on Cursa and was raised by her mother, Angelica, a beautiful and intelligent woman who was determined to provide for herself and her daughter by any means. They had a close relationship, and Angelica would teach her young daughter many things about the world, encouraging her to be both intuitive and independent.
While the family of two were no strangers to the struggles of Cursan life, Alisa was a resourceful child, much like her m...
At the beginning of Episode 8, you'll be able to see the parallels between your current situation and waking up on the Andromeda Six back in Episode 1. Things have changed greatly for MC in such a short time.
While there have been many dangerous and uncertain situations during the game, and maybe many more to come, we hope you'll enjoy this small moment of peace with your LI...

With Episode 8 being set both on Tilaarin and the Andromeda Six, we'll have no brand new backgrounds for the next episode, though will have some updated versions of existing ones.
The first to be updated will be MC's bedroom! We love adding new knick-knacks and decor to the room with each update. We asked on Twitter what you would like to see added to the space, and the majority of answers were more plants and a chair for the little desk space.
The other update we'll be doing is t...

The boys parents had left both their planet and their two sons behind when they were only young, desperately seeking another kind of life. As the younger son, Zane didn't remember much of his parents, and that never bothere...
