• Important Announcement: Astro Ike Update 3.0 Cancellation - 10 June 2024

  Hello Astro Ike Fans, After much consideration, I've decided to cancel the development of Astro Ike update 3.0. It's been an incredible journey since the game's release two years ago, and I appreciate all the support and feedback from the community. As a solo game developer, I've learned a lot and my skills have significantly improved since I started my journey. Revisiting Astro Ike has shown me many areas for improvement, but it's also become clear that continually fixing and tweaking can lead to an endless cycle that isn't ideal. Instead of exhausting myself, I've decided it's time to move forward and focus on new projects. Don't worry, this isn't the end—it's a new beginning. Each project I've worked on has taught me valuable lessons, and I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned to create even better games in the future. Moving forward, I'll be focusing on manageable projects that chal…

• Coming Soon: Update 3.0 - Reloaded - 19 January 2024

  Astro Ike 3.0 Update "Reloaded" After almost a year of anticipation, I am thrilled to announce a surprising turn of events for Astro Ike. What was once deemed at its End-of-Life stage is now making a triumphant return with the upcoming Astro Ike 3.0 Update, aptly named "Reloaded." Embarking on an exciting journey with Unreal Engine 5.3, I'm thrilled to inform our dedicated player base that Astro Ike is being reimagined from the ground up. I'm discarding the old project and starting fresh to deliver a gaming experience that will surpass all expectations of the original version. ------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect in Astro Ike 3.0 "Reloaded": Introducing fresh store page, the current artwork showcases the new Astro Ike Logo and will reflect the new updated game once it's completed! I'm excited to introduce a new character selection feature, allowing you…

  Astro Ike 2.3 Update - EOL Update - Change lighting in main menu to static and use the rect lighting (performance). - Change foilage to Nanite (performance). - Removed Arcade Mode - Game is EOL. Note from the developer I am working on getting my bachelor's degree which is taking most of my time, as well as being a father to two amazing girls and work my full time job. I hardly have any free time to be working on Astro Ike. I want to move onto new projects, so when I find time, I am learning Unity and C#. Going to learn the basics then make my dream game using Unity or Unreal Engine. It has been a pleasure to work on this game with the feedback provided by my friends and family. I also appreciate everyone who bought the game and played it. If I ever have time to come back and revamp this game I would. I would like to see what I can do with an Astro Ike 3.0 update but for now, I must move…
