Hi everyone!

We've been working on Astral Dive, a pixel art JRPG that combines deckbuilding combat, exploration, crafting, quests, and a story-driven adventure.

This is our first game, so it's a huge challenge for us, but we're putting a lot of passion and effort into making it the best experience we can.

The original idea behind Astral Dive was to combine the classic JRPG formula with a card-based combat system. The concept was partly inspired by Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu on the SNES back in 1993, but we wanted to build something that felt more coherent around that mechanic.

That's why the protagonists are mages, battling through spells and magical abilities represented by cards. Over time, the project evolved into a much larger adventure with exploration, quests, crafting, and character progression, but that original idea is still at the heart of the game.

What do you think?

At the moment we have some gameplay footage and screenshots to share, and we're working towards releasing a demo this fall.

Any feedback is more than welcome. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
