[b]Hey everyone,[/b]
We have [b]a lot to talk about today[/b], and we want to be completely transparent with you about what has been happening behind the scenes.
[hr][/hr]???? What Happened Behind the Scenes
[p align="start"]As many of you may know, [b]most of our art team is based in Iran[/b], while I (the main developer), one concept artist, and the animators are located elsewhere.[/p][p align="start"]Over the past year there have unfortunately been several major events in that region:[/p]The [b]war in June 2025[/b]
The [b]protests in December 2025[/b]
And now [b]another ongoing war this month[/b]
But development [b]never stopped[/b].
[p align="start"]We have been working very hard on the next update, and we are [b]extremely excited to finally show what we’ve been building.[/b][/p][hr][/hr][b]????️ What Did We Work On?[/b]
[p align="start"]This upcoming update is [b]one of the biggest updates we have ever made for Astrometica.[/b][/p][p align="start"]It includes:[/p]Major system redesigns
New gameplay mechanics
Huge environment remakes
Large narrative expansions
[b]???? Save System (Completely Remade)[/b]
[p align="start"]The [b]entire save system has been rebuilt from scratch[/b].[/p][p align="start"]This took nearly [b]two months of development[/b], but the result is much better.[/p][p align="start"]New features include:[/p][p align="start"]✔ [b]Multiple Save Slots[/b][/p][p align="start"]✔ [b]More stable saves[/b][/p][p align="start"]✔ [b]Future-proof system for updates[/b][/p][p align="start"]⚠️ Unfortunately, because the system changed completely, [b]old legacy saves will not work with the next update[/b].[/p][p align="start"]We know this can be frustrating and we sincerely apologize. However we promise this will be [b]the last time saves break due to system changes.[/b][/p][carousel autoadvance="true"][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44119378/6fae62641989be32d27bf42d34561b443e77cd88.png"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44119378/8b2c3683278b8faf8631509c3e441f715dc1b84d.png"][/img][/carousel][hr][/hr][b]????

Astrometica now includes a [b]full objective system from start to finish[/b].

• [b]Main objectives[/b] that guide the core progression • [b]Side objectives[/b] discovered during exploration
Some side objectives also contain [b]their own mini storylines and outcomes[/b], which can unlock important progress or reveal hidden parts of the Astrometica universe.
This system helps players better understand [b]what to do next while still keeping the freedom of exploration.[/b]

[hr][/hr]???? Stacking Upgrade System
We added a [b]new device that allows you to upgrade item stack sizes.[/b]
Using this system you can [b]increase the maximum stack size of items[/b], making inventory management much easier.
This means:
• More efficient storage • Less inventory clutter • Better resource management during exploration
