Had an unexpected surprise to see that Steam had performed a Steam Deck Compatibility Review for Astra Protocol 2. We're now listed as 'Playable' on the Steam Deck. Take this with a pinch of salt as you still require a keyboard to input commands #indiegame #spacesim #scifi

I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies Happy Alien Day 2026 Alien was a big influence on Astra Protocol 2, so we're celebrating with 70% off the game this weekend store.steampowered.com/app/2026750/... What's your favourite Alien quote? #scifi #lv426 #indiegame

The feature design document for Astra Protocol 3 (working title) is finally complete. Gloriously typed up on an Amstrad CPC 464, it's too big to fit on a 3" disc, comes in at 32 minutes of cassette tape and over 10 meters of listing paper #gamedev #retro #amstrad

An update on the next game in the Astra Protocol series. We're hard at work on the feature document, seeing what we want to keep from AP2 & what new stuff we'll add in. For authenticity, we're writing it on a computer from the 1980s & have already maxed out the memory of two files #gamedev

Alright Captains. Astra Protocol 2 has had Steam achievements for over a month now, and here's the most & least common ones that have been unlocked The most common involve self destructing your ship and crashing into a planet. We need to boost these numbers! #indiegame #scifi #spacesim

Spring into the Steam Sale with 75% off Astra Protocol 2
