Andromeda Six Newsletter | May 2025

Hi everyone!

It's newsletter time again, and this time we're here with a release date...

Episode 9 will be released on 24th May 2025!! 🎉🎉

We'll let you know an exact time for the release closer to the date, and will continue sharing more sneak peeks and beta updates here on Patreon!

Please make sure to Wishlist the game on Steam so we can get some numbers together for our release! Wishlists help us to make sure the game gets some really good visibility once it's released on the platform 😊

Also don't forget that the petition for our Lizzie Plushie is going live in one day!! We're trying to make all our Lizzie dreams come true, so if you'd like one of these limited edition plushies please sign up to the petition once it's live!!

We'll repost our previous F.A.Q below, with a couple of additional questions that players have been asking:

How much will Andromeda Six cost when Episode 9 is released?
A6 will be priced at $14.99 (USD) at the time of the Episode 9 release. This is an early access price, which means if you pay for the game while it's at this lower price, you will not have to pay again when we raise the price upon full release.

Why are you making A6 paid?
The scale of A6 has grown enormously since we first started, and it's no longer financially possible for us to continue working on the game with it remaining free to play.

Episode 10 and the following Epilogue will be the toughest for us to make, and we already have a list of additional features to add like multiple endings, illustrated end cards, and additional sprites/outfits, which we know will be a lot of work.

By putting a price on the game, it will help us to commission extra work and put everything we can into making Episode 10, and the following Epilogue, the best ending for the game that we've been envisioning, so that A6 can really go out with a bang.

Will A6 be available on Steam?
Episode 9 will be available to play on itch.io first, but we will make it available in early access on Steam as soon as we are able to (though it may take a couple of months). If you can't or don't want to purchase through itch, we will also have it available on our Patreon shop.

If I purchase A6 on itch.io will I get a Steam key?
No, if you'd like to play A6 on Steam you will need to purchase it separately.

If I already have A6 downloaded, will I need to download it again?
Yes, if you would like to play the new update with Episode 9 included, you will need to download A6 again, or update it through the itch app, and pay the new cost.

When will A6 be finished?
At this stage, we don't know, but we will continue to keep you up to date as work progresses, and we know that with some extra hands on board we'll be able to pick up the pace of development.

After the Ep 9 release, we'll start getting some feedback from players on whether you'd like to see Episode 10 and the Epilogue released at the same time, or if you'd prefer access to Episode 10 earlier, and the Epilogue a little after that.

Once all ten episodes + the Epilogue are released we'll be doing a revamp of the game, which means a new UI, character creator, new music, more art, more scenes, more choices, and once this final version of the game is released, we'll be raising the price to it's full-release pricing.

What's happening with the After Dark DLC?
After Dark has been (lovingly) pushed to the side while we focus on finishing the main game, and we will pick up production on it again as soon as Episode 10 and the Epilogue have been released.

Thank you everyone! If you have any further questions feel free to leave them in the comment section below, and we'll see you soon with more news! 🚀
