Andromeda Six Newsletter | August 2025
Added 2025-08-01 04:33:09 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
Another month has passed, and we're happy to tell you that there has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes!
We're busy preparing for our Steam release, which will see A6 releasing in Early Access on August 23rd 2025! If you are able to, please consider heading over to our Steam page and wishlisting our game! Wishlists help us with better visibility upon release. We're currently sitting at 10k wishlists, and would love to get to 12k before the 23rd!!
As some of you will have already seen, the first beta version is now available on Patreon! This is a very short first look at the next episode, and we will continue updating it with new scenes as development progresses.

The final topic that we want to bring up is something more serious, and also something that a lot of you will have already heard about by now, as it is affecting much of the gaming industry.
Over the past week, Itch.io removed all NSFW tagged games on their platform in response to pressure from payment processors like Visa/Mastercard, stemming from the efforts of a group named Collective Shout.
While the situation is still developing, many game teams and developers have already been unfairly affected by Itch's actions. NSFW censorship isn't something that affects A6 yet, but it certainly will if this continues in the future (think After Dark DLC, and any future 18+ games or DLC's we want to make), and both the devs and players that this is affecting right now deserve our solidarity.
Today, Itch has reindexed all free NSFW games, which is a small positive step towards a resolution, but there are still plenty of steps that we can take to stand up against censorship. The links below will provide more information on the situation, as well as what we can do to help:
Update on NSFW content - Itch.io
Reindexing adult NSFW content - Itch.io
How to directly pressure payment processors - Reddit thread
If you aren't yet familiar with the situation, this video by penguinz0 on YouTube is an informative and concise overview of what has been happening.
Thank you for reading! If you would like somewhere to continue discussing the game, the topics mentions, or your Travelers, please feel free to come and join us on the Wanderlust Games Discord!
We'll see you again soon for more news 🚀
