Andromeda Six
Andromeda Six Newsletter | April 2025
Hi everyone!
Welcome to April! The time is absolutely flying this year, but we're here with some good news!
We'd like to announce that Episode 9 of Andromeda Six will be released in May 2025. We'll announce the date and time in a little while, and we have a set date that the team are working towards, but will keep that private for a little bit longer, just in case there are any changes.
Until the release, the beta will continue to be updated on Patreon, with the next update coming this week.
We've also got a little sneak peek at what's coming up in Episode 9!
Captain Reznor, anyone?
As we get closer to the Episode 9 release we also wanted to do a little F.A.Q to answer some of the questions people 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.
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.

If its not viable for it remain free, I'm happy to pay. I want to get to the end rather than for it to be dropped
Thank you for the great news and your dedicated work! I will gladly pay for this masterpiece. I love A6 so much 💖
I don't know if it makes any difference, but is it better for you if we buy the game on Itch or on Steam? I am happy to pay for it. I love what you have created.
Thanks for asking! So it works out better for us if players buy on itch, since Steam takes a 30% cut from each sale, and with itch we can choose how much goes to support the site, but when it comes down to it we're happy for you to purchase the game on whichever platform is best for you :)
Thank you! That suits me best, as I look forward to playing the next chapter asap. Good luck with all your work!
Thank you for the update! I'll happily pay for this masterpiece that kept me entertained for such a long time (though I'll have to wait until it gets on steam bc of different currency;;) Hope the team takes their time and let it cook, we'll be here, patiently waiting to eat òwó
Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoy the new update once it's released!!
God i cant believe we’re in the final stretch now! Almost only 1 episode to go! I remember first finding this game when episode 5 had just released and Ive been absolutely obsessed ever since. You guys have done amazing work i am in love with your game and cant wait to pay ye for the wonderful addition that will be episode 9!!!! Ahhh
Same here! It's surreal to think we've come this far, and it's so exciting to see the end in view now!! So glad to hear you've enjoyed A6 for so long :)
Fantastic! I look forward to paying for it! I hope you all take your time and don't feel guilty for putting a price on something that absolutely deserves it! You've all been so wonderful and the story you have created with the characters you've made is worth ALL the moneys in the world! Thank you for the update!
Thank you so much! It means a lot to us that people find worth in all the work we've done, and we hope you'll enjoy the new update once it's released!! :)
In the revamped version (and the DLC) will we be able to turn off the character creator? One of the reasons I love A6 is because we don't get to see the MC and can just imagine whatever we like, so I think seeing a picture of them would really take me out of the game ;v;
It's not something we've thought of so far, but since the MC won't be shown in CG's or anywhere besides a portrait next to the text box, it shouldn't be too difficult to add an option to skip the CC. We'll add it to our list of ideas :)
That would be great if you could! I'll definitely buy the game either way, I just thought I'd tell you my two cents in case anyone else feels the same ^^ If not skipping the CC, then maybe it could be just turning the image next to the text box off? That would be more than enough :D
