Greeting haulers,
We’ve been busy behind the scenes, and we’re excited to finally share some new content, lore / backstory, and appreciation!
A New Intro Cinematic
Astrohaulers now features a brand new backstory cinematic, created by Zach Meagher. This short film gives players a fresh perspective on the backstory of Astrohaulers and sets the stage for your journey across the stars.
"In the not-so-distant future, humanity has finally expanded its reach across the stars. Colonies thrive on small, habitable space stations scattered across multiple systems. Their survival depends on a constant flow of goods, sustained by intricate delivery networks. But space is vast and dangerous. Luckily, a group has devoted itself to guiding cargo pilots, charting each station to station journey with precision. They are known as the Astrohaulers."
This will soon be coming to the game to view as an intro to the game! (So expect a small update in the near future!)
PAX West & Seattle Indies Expo
While launching Astrohaulers (and going head to head with the Silksong enjoyers 👀), we also had the chance to attend PAX West and the Seattle Indies Expo this year!
Not only did we get to enjoy the expos, but we also shared our thoughts on upcoming games, had amazing conversations with fellow developers, and of course snuck in some shameless Astrohaulers self-promo...
Want to see what the team got up to? Check out our PAX & SIX vlog over on the Fern Sprout Studios YouTube channel:
Soundtrack Vibes
Whether or not you think the game is a banger, we’re sure you’ll enjoy the Astrohaulers OST as much as we do. (This meme really sums it up..)
Huge thank you to everyone who has already purchased the soundtrack! It motivates us (and especially Nolan, our composer) to keep making cool things for you all to enjoy!
Grab the OST here: it’s only $0.99, which is basically a steal!!!
Reviews, High Scores
To everyone who has left a review for Astrohaulers, thank you! Your feedback (both good and critical) helps us improve and means the world to the team. Special shout out to @yourjaguarlover for their thoughtful remarks and kudos. <3
If you enjoyed (or didn’t) playing Astrohaulers, please consider leaving a review yourself as it really helps the studio with our future projects!
Also, Zach recently posted his high scores… and honestly, we bet anyone out there can beat them. Consider it a challenge.
To the 200+ of you who have downloaded and tried our game! THANK YOU <3 We couldn't be happier!
Join the Community
SURPRISE SURPRISE (we forgot to mention this last time 😅) we have a Community Discord!
All major updates (like this one) go there as well, but it’s also the best place for direct communication with the devs. We hop into VCs now and then to hang out, chat, or play some games with you all!
And don’t forget, you can also continue engaging with us here on Steam:
What’s Next
We seriously hope you continue to enjoy Astrohaulers and support the studio as we grind away on our next project: Breach of Contract. More info will be coming in the (hopefully near) future… 👀
Until then, you can follow all our socials linked at the bottom of the page and stay connected with everything Fern Sprout Studios is up to!
Thank you all for playing, supporting, and being part of our growing community. You keep us going. ❤️
