Azel--a charming wizard with long washed out blue hair and red eyes. He wears a royal blue cloak with gold trim and red inside, silver loop earrings, a gold choker, and painted black nails. He's holding his hand next to his face in a smug gesture, and a silver staff in his other hand. He's presented on a soft purple background with a white border.
Excited to finally share this lovely art of Azel from @astraviagame.bsky.social here on BlueSky, drawn by the amazing & talented @alabasterffxiv.bsky.social! 🦋
Loved this so much 😭 so cool to see my favorite (please don't tell my other OCs) drawn in faer style 💜 #OCsky
Sideview of a man sitting in the grass cross-legged. He has one hand on his knee and the other picking bright orange mushrooms. He has long blue hair tied in a braid, a gold headband, and a dark tunic over a long white shirt. The handwritten text on the right reads "Thank you for 100 followers!" with the BlueSky butterfly symbol drawn underneath.
A small but incredibly meaningful milestone--thank you for 100 followers!
It means so much to have you all interested in the project, and we're looking forward to this new chapter here on BlueSky 🦋

Battle scene screenshot. Two evil looking mushrooms on the left prepare to attack our blue-haired protagonist Oliver on the right. At the top, a time bar indicates which character gets their turn. Oliver uses a special "Awakening" and his character art slides across the screen.
Every character has a mysterious Awakening ability that can really come in handy in a pinch 🛡✨

Hey thanks! And it kind of is--@jaidenalemni.bsky.social is the creator, but various other freelancers have helped with stuff like sprites, artwork, music and testing. A project of this scope wouldn't have been possible without them :)
A thumbnail image featuring art of Oliver to the right, with his long braided blue hair and gold headband, holding up his left hand and a sword in his right. The text reads "Developer's Log February 2024"
February's developer's log is finally here! Lots of cool announcements and progress to share:
- New trailer, artwork, and marketing

- More screenshots and progress
Read the details here:

Battle scene, in a swamp area at night. A green slime on the left side of the screen takes 27 damage from Oliver swinging his sword with a "Basic Attack".
Map scene, a quiet village at night. Oliver stands on a dirt path to the left of a stone house with a thatched roof. To the right is a house with a small gated area holding two goats. One of them is sound asleep.
Battle scene. To the left, an evil looking mushroom and oversized killer bee. To the right, our protagonist Oliver and his magic companion Azel. A textbox overlays the screen with Azel speaking, his face indicating a sigh: "We don't have much time to spare. But... I suppose I could explain a few things."
Map scene. Oliver stands in the narrow hallway of a torch-lit dungeon. There's mossy floors and a save-point to the left. A mushroom monster is at the bottom of the screen.
Exciting to have the first real #ScreenshotSaturday on Bluesky!
Here are few more screenshots from the upcoming demo:
We're super excited to share a new gameplay teaser for Legends of Astravia -- the first proper showcase of the game since 2022!

Oliver stands on a disconnected platform in a blue ethereal space. Broken pieces of tile floor float around in the space surrounding the path. 4 pillars surround the platform.
Three cloaked mysticians stand in front of a temple in the swamp. One wears a mask, one is facing up, and another with blue hair tied in a ponytail looks down from top of the stairs leading into the temple. A textbox shows on screen, the ponytailed main with a pale face, orange eyes and sharp eyebrows: "The Astri is my focus."
Oliver and Azel stand in the hallway of a torchlit earth dungeon. Oliver faces Azel while Azel looks down and crosses his arms. A textbox from him shows on screen: "I will use this moment to tell you the story passed down by the mysticians of that era..."
Battle scene. Oliver and Azel stand on the right at the ready while two killer bees prepare to attack from the left. Oliver is the active character, the command "Attack" ready and targeting one of the bees. At the top of the screen, the active time bar displays when the next characters will act. At the bottom, Oliver and Azel's Life Energy (LE) Mystic Energy (ME) and other status details are displayed.
Several new screenshots from the upcoming demo ✨
Video game screenshot, 2d pixel art. The player, Oliver--a blue haired man with a braid and gold headband--speaks to a shopkeeper with dark skin, short brown hair and a yellow shirt inside a rustic looking shop with red wood paneled walls and wooden floors. A dialogue prompt is on screen, the shopkeeper, Jan's face and name visible on the left: "You're up late. Need anything?"
Even in the dead of night as the village sleeps, shopkeeper Jan has you covered for all your adventuring needs ✨
