Progress on Next Adastra Update (Delayed to the 26th)

So first of all, there's going to have to be a delay again. Instead of the 24th, the demo will release two days late on Sunday the 26th. I once again apologize and I realize this has been happening too much lately. I had a bit of a family emergency come up in which I had to do a lot of babysitting on my day off, the day I planned to do the majority of the coding. This isn't really an excuse and I'm thinking I need to change the way I work on these updates which would involve trying to have it...

Howdy folks, McSkinny here. For the first time in maingame Echo, we have expressions. Just for Carl and Jenna and just for the new content, but it's there. This is all thanks to Kardamon, our background artist, and Stardustpup, the original sprite artist for Echo from friggen five years ago. I'm excited to see how these new expressions can breathe life into old scenes down the line. For n...

Howdy folks, McSkinny here, it's finally done! Route 65, the little prequel for Echo has received background art for all scenes, new music, new character sprites (with expressions), and a whole buncha typo fixes. It's almost like one of those "finished products" you used to hear about back in the days before Patreon and Kickstarter were things. Anyway, I'm real happy with how it turned...

Adastra - Promo Art

Here we have Cass and Alex having a light-hearted moment together: Cassius enjoys showing a lot of affection toward Alex, even in public. As you can see, the cat finds it all very embarrassing, though he very much enjoys the attention.

Howdy folks, McSkinny here. Here's a Flynn update with brand new art from Kardamon, new music from Abyuse's new album, and quite a lot of dialogue choices/variables. Also, Patrons, make sure to tune in later this month as we're gonna be trying to get out our polished Route 65 update, with all photo backgrounds replaced with actual art, character sprites with actual expressions, new music, and maybe some additional content if we have some time.

Quick update on TJ's route...

Hey guys!

So as I've worked on the TJ update over the past few days, I realized that there isn't much left before the end. Because of this, I'm thinking that what I'm going to do is delay his route update until next month so that you'll have a decent chunk of story along with the final scene of his route. On top of that, we should have a new illustration from Kardamon to compliment it as well! 

Flynn's update will still be released for the public tomorrow night, along with an...

Slight Delay...

Hey guys, so due to some unexpected personal issues, I'm going to have to delay the release of the next demo for patrons by a few days. It will now be coming out this Tuesday. As a bit of an apology, have a (strategically cropped) look at one of the new illustrations by Haps that will appear in the next update!

Adastra - Back Off (NSFW)

Haps just completed the illustrations for the next update! There are a few variations to the image above that will appear in the demo. Also wanted to give you guys a heads up that the release will likely be delayed by a few days, probably until Sunday. I'll be sure to make a post in the next day or so (for all tiers) to let you guys know for sure. As an apology, have another WIP of one of the variations below!

Adastra Build 0.3 - A Day at the Beach

In which you have a fun day at the beach with Amicus and Alex...for the most part. 

Hey guys! So first of all, I had to change some labels around in the script and I think this might mess with old save files. This was a one-time thing and I apologize if this causes problems. Just remember that you can use the skip function to quickly get to where you last were. 

We also have new sprites and an illustration from Haps (who also did the promo image above!) in this update, a...
