Here's a picture of us controlling the ship on am Amstrad CPC 464 - tech from 1984!

Multiplayer in Astra Protocol 2?

We're looking into implementing telnet support, allowing a second user to control the ship via a terminal.

Whilst one player pilots the ship, the other can monitor readouts.

What do you think? Would you explore Astra Protocol 2 with a crew?

I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.

Happy Alien Day 2026

Alien was a big influence on Astra Protocol 2, so we're celebrating with 70% off the game this weekend

The feature design document for Astra Protocol 3 (working title) is finally complete.

Gloriously typed up on an Amstrad CPC 464, it's too big to fit on a 3" disc, comes in at 32 minutes of cassette tape and over 10 meters of listing paper

Your headquarters have been destroyed
Your allies are gone
You have no resources

We've made some slight adjustments to the UI in Astra Protocol Remake. Based on player feedback, we've made the UI a little chunkier and brought back the Amstrad CPC style font.

What do you think about the changes?

Green, Amber, or Black & White?

Which retro palette do you prefer?

With Astra Protocol Remake, we've added in-game customisation, so you no longer need to stick to one colour!
