- Astronomic Games - Nov 2025 update - 4 November 2025
Greetings once more. It's been about a week now since the release of Cold Verdict 3. With the Cold Verdict series complete, I'm now focusing on the currently unnamed post-apocalyptic sci-fi project (some of its screenshots and information of its theme and mechanics have already been mentioned in previous updates this year).The work on that sci-fi project has already been happening since late last year. It happens in a near future, post-apocalyptic setting, with most events occurring inside an underground hideout where our main character is a volunteer for an experiment. This visual novel will play similarly to Interim Crossroads in that it will have choices with consequences, relationship building, and character stats to keep track of during the game's events.I have been pondering on one aspect of it for a while though and decided it might be best to gather community feedback on it. The…

- Development update on upcoming projects - 9 August 2025
Hello everyone!It's been a while since the last announcement, so here's an update on how things are. In the last announcement, I mentioned that two VN projects were already in the works. Development on both is still ongoing. Below is a bit more information on each one.Cold Verdict 3This will be the third and final part in the Cold Verdict series. (PS: The first Cold Verdict is currently on a discount at the time of this update, so might be a good time to get it if you haven't yet)Cold Verdict 3 will be roughly the same length as the first two instalments and will be priced about the same.

- Projects for 2025 - 2 February 2025
Hi all! I would like to share some information on the new projects that are planned for this year and on which the development is already ongoing. There are two projects planned for this year (depending on the development time, one might be pushed back onto early 2026, but that remains to be seen). The first one, the shorter project, is as was mentioned before, the final 3rd part to Cold Verdict series which will serve as a conclusion to the story. Another familiar face from the first game will now return in this one... The second project, which will be longer and bigger, is going to be set in a post-apocalyptic near future world, mainly taking place inside an underground sanctuary. We'll play the role of a volunteer for a gene therapy experiment to make humans able to survive in the new world. Similarly to Interim Crossroads, this VN will have some character stats to keep track of, whi…

- Cold Verdict sequel in the works - 11 June 2023
Hello everyone! Wanted to make an announcement that Cold Verdict 2 has already been in the works for some time and will be a direct sequel to the first, following a new set events a few months after the events of the first game in order to shed more light on what exactly is going on and why. It will be roughly just as long as the first game and will involve similar gameplay and pacing, being an interactive story with some choices coming up, either relating to dialogue and trust-building or relating to choices that alter story events. Here are a handful of screenshots to get you excited.

- Holiday with Gwen - Development Update 2 - 29 June 2022
Hi everyone. It's been a while since the last update on the current game. If you recall, this new game project takes place in the Snares of Ruin universe. Hank and Gwen are on a special mission in an exotic country, but there are plenty of chances to do fun activities and develop romance too. The game is a visual novel mainly with some dialogue choices. The development is still going. It was slower than I hoped in the last few months, but it is still going. For this reason, the game is unlikely to be ready this summer as originally expected, but aiming to have it ready sometime this autumn. The exact date will be confirmed later. Thank you all for the continuous support, comments and reviews! Here are a couple of new screenshots from the game.
- Next project development update 1 - 21 January 2022
Hello everyone! A big thanks for the support and feedback relating to 'Cold Verdict' and 'Pegasus: Broken Wings', both of which came out late last year. In this update I wanted to shed some light on the next project I am currently working on. I already briefly mentioned this one in one of the past updates, so some of you will already know what I'm talking about. So this project will be a visual novel as well, in the same gameplay style as 'Cold Verdict', but in terms of story and genre entirely different. In fact it will take place in the 'Snares of Ruin' universe and will follow our two main protagonists - Hank and Gwen. The two detectives are sent abroad to an exotic country for a special assignment. But of course, while there, they are also going to enjoy themselves - visiting the beach, the swimming pool, the historical town areas, fancy cafes, and so on. There is of course going to…
