Let's Take a Look at Astral Game Studio!

I usually only look at
indie games, although it is very interesting to look at the studios as well! I
do not do this as much because the studios are typically too busy making the
games themselves, which makes it easier for me to go over said games!
Occasionally I will come
across a welcoming studio, and in this post that studio is Astral Game Studio
out of Brazil! This studio, which is headed by Leonardo Lindoso, is fueled by a long growing
passion for game development shared with other team members!
As indie game development studios often do, game jams were the start for
Astral Game Studio, but this was not the end by any means! After months of hard
work, and games like “Fix this, dude.” And “Inkreatures, the studio is working
on their biggest project to date: “Asyren”.
It is not easy by any means for a six person game development studio to
make such great game, but they are doing a great job! If you want to get the
full story I will include the interview after I share these screenshots!
Asyren:
Fix this, dude:
Inkreatures:
Here is the interview I
had with the head of the studio:
1) What inspired you to create your studio?
Well, game dev has always
been my passion since I was 12 years old and since then I knew that making
games is the thing I want to do in life. So, when I got to College and met some
people, who also had this passion, we created Astral Game Studio as a chance
for us to really work on this passion.
2) How many team members do you have?
We started with 3 members
and in something like 8 months we doubled the members number. Now we have 6
members.
3) What does each team member do?
As a small team is kinda
hard to each member to work on only one type of task. So, we have four programmers
and two artists, but we all work as Game Designers when it comes to designing a
new stage, or a boss fight. I am a programmer, but I work as an Artist and as a
Game Designer too, for example.
4) Can you briefly describe your most recent game?
Asyren is a 2D
metroidvania with a few RPG-like mechanics. It is set in a fantasy world where
an excluded goddess called Unn'a is trying to take control of the world in a
search for power. The player takes the role of a renegade female priest, who
were once deceived by Unn'a. Now she must stop the goddess and save the
continent of Asyren.
5) What other games have you made?
Asyren is our first big
project. We have worked mainly on Game Jams. Our last two games were "Fix
this, dude", an IT Professional simulator where you have to fix your
co-workers' computers by solving minigames, and "Inkreatures", a
local 2D co-op game that combines "Capture the Flag" and "King
of the Hill" game modes in a paintball arena.

this studio as much as I am, here is how to find their other work:

CreatorCrate!
Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying your day! Today I have a promising game to showcase to all of you. This game is in a early development stage so be warned that it will naturally contain bugs and glitches until the final release which is confirmed to be sometime in 2020 (which is relatively near). The developer gave me a key for the closed pre-alpha of the game, which I am beyond grateful for. Unfortunately, the game is not in a stage where it is ready to release, but you can always put the game on your steam wishlist, follow the developer on one of her many social media accounts or bookmark the webpage for the game! In addition to a game key for personal use, she also gave me plenty of press resources to share with all of you! So, without further delay, allow us to delve into the details of the game: Developer Provided Write-up on Her Game "CreatorCrate: Reproduce your way to freedom A 2.5D physics platformer on a procedurally generated space station".
Claire's First Minecraft Post.
People have been making storage systems for years. But there is only really one used. Why is that? It just works. The one I am going to show you is simple enough to make the only limiting factor iron. At this point in Minecraft who are we kidding, you have an iron farm already. If you do not you will soon. Follow this simple tutorial and you can have an infinitely expandable system. Step one is simple enough: find the space for it. For this I'm going to show it all in a super flat world to make it easier for you to follow. Step two: The first layers are just chests and hoppers. I am making this one five chests high but you could make yours as little as one chest or go all the way to world height! There are two ways to place the chest or chests, way one is with all the hoppers in the back, this is ok but once the bottom chest is empty its empty till more items are added. The second way is alternating the chests and hoppers. This is better because items will always flow down keepi
