March Update: Astral’s Super Awesome Epic V2 Alpha Experience!
Hello, Astral community! (I feel like we need a nickname for you all… how about… Astralnauts! Er, needs work…) As a quick introduction, I’m Ashley, the new tech witch — I mean, marketing director — here at Astral. I’ll be tag-teaming platform updates with our CX Wizard, James, from now on and you can always poke either of us on Discord if you need anything!
Our team is very excited to announce what our beta team has patiently waited for… drumroll…
Astral’s Super Awesome Epic V2 Alpha Experience!*
(*Working name. We’ll just call it V2 for now.)
Starting today, beta users now have access to the V2 alpha build, which has a ton of new AND improved features. This build is exclusive to our beta team as we gear up for a big launch in the very near future.
Here’s the scoop on this build:
- The full V2 experience is in-progress by our hardworking dev team. However, the alpha build has everything you need to run a game. 💻
- Sounds and animations will be supported — we’ll share more details on this in the near future. 🦜
- All of the add-on sections are now modular and can be popped out to new windows, screens, and devices. 📲
- The combat tracker and dice roller are revamped and cooler than ever, with plenty of customizable features in the pipeline. 🎲
- The audio add-on can now support playlists to accompany your encounters. 🎵
- WE GOT DYNAMIC DOORS, PEOPLE! (Our team was VERY excited about this break-through — shoutout to our awesome devs!)
We sincerely hope our beta team enjoys the new experience so we can start rolling it out to our community. We value your thoughts and feature requests! Everything we implement is to make the Astral experience easier and more immersive for you.
Additionally, we’re making some changes to our website. This entails updating our existing webpages to reflect our updated platform and creating new pages for, well, cool new stuff. You’ll see these sitewide changes implemented throughout March. If you land on missing pages or stumble upon dead links, don’t fret — this is to be expected. All site sections will still be accessible during this transition.
Fare-thee-well, adventurers,
Ashley + James
