Astral Heroes news & patch notes

Would you like to have Astral Masters game on Steam? We've launched a fundraising campaign for that - https://planeta.ru/campaigns/166321

The participant of the duel number 10,000,000 was War3z, so he got the award: 1000 gold plus 30 days of premium. Congratulations! It was a scenario battle against the Goblin Leader (which War3z unfortunately lost). Additional 300 gold gift goes to participants of the duel 9,999,999: -LORD- and Seytan_Socrates

The amount of duels in the game is approaching 10,000,000! This value will be reached next week, and we wanna make a gift to the participants of the anniversary duel #10,000,000 - 1000 gold and 30 days of premium.

Astral Towers is a card game with "one turn - one action" mechanic - like Spectromancer. This is mostly an adventure game: there are 89 missions at 2 difficulty levels. The original game was made in 2011, it was English-only and designed for 1366x768 screen resolution, which was OK for WinXP, but looks ugly on Vista and above. Now the remastered edition has improved graphics designed for up to 4K screen resolution. Other changes are:

• Improved UI and visualization.
• Full support for Russian language.
• Improved campaign balance based on actual stats.
• Steam achievements.

I hope you'll like it and post a review! :-) Game page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/983450/Astral_Towers/

The Game Server's source code is published at GitHub: https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusEngineExamples/tree/master/AH-Server Now anyone can build an own server, add 1M gold and play alone with bots, taking 1-st place in the ranking :-) This release was the 2-nd goal at the Patreon campaign. The next goal is to release the source code of the game client, so the whole game will be open-source. Become a patron to make this happen: https://www.patreon.com/ApusGameEngine

The game engine behind Astral Heroes game is made open source and published at GitHub: https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusGameEngine I've also published source code of some projects including Astral Heroes website, game backup/analytics tool, game auto-updater. They're available at the GitHub too: https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusEngineExamples This became possible because of support I've got at Patreon. Now we're very close to the second goal: the source code of the Astral Heroes game server will be published. Just become a patron to make this happen: https://www.patreon.com/ApusGameEngine

All our games (including Spectromancer and Astral Masters) are based on our own game engine (actually, its just a common part of these games). Until now this engine was just an internal library, but now I'm going to publish it and make it open source. However, this requires some additional work to make it useful - documentation, examples, tests. I've launched a page on Patreon to gather some funds for this work. As a goal bonus, I'm going to publish the source code of the Astral Heroes game (client, server and more). And everyone could see if the game is fair or not :) Please support me - become my patron at https://www.patreon.com/ApusGameEngine $1 - isn't much, right? But each $ is important.

Now it is possible to get in-game gold for free with Goodnight app. Goodnight app mines GOLD using the power of your CPU (when it is idle). The more powerful your CPU is - the more gold you get. The app is safe for PC, it doesn’t reboot it and doesn’t significantly increase the power consumption. You can run the app whenever you want. Get a 50 gold bonus for the first launch. How it works:

• Download and install the Goodnight app.
• Sign up with your email address used in the game.
• Press "Start" to start farming gold and get 50 gold bonus. You can withdraw the gold to the game at any time.
