happy Astro Bot release day!! 🩵

real ones know just how important this little guy is to me. Astros Playroom was my first dip into the PS5, on my mates console while they were at work in 2020, and it absolutely captivated me. the gorgeous visuals and super fun gameplay that actually used the Dualsense features, it became a quick and strong hyperfix for me and inspired my NEED for my own PS5. i still remember the day i got my first one clear as day, curled up in a ball freezing cold outside Argos at 6am in north west English November 2020, it must have been -6C but i was determined to get my hands on it, Astro really stuck with me.

funny art fix and gush story continued under the cut 💛

i made this second sona in early 2023 after my billionth replay of Playroom, as a sort of cross over between my self representation and the robots of Astro universe (with some Stray Companion bot inspiration in there as well). he even got his name from the devs of the Astro series, Team Asobi. i didnt realise that Asobi would go on to be a sort of mascot for my "brand" i guess in addition to being a sona, that's been my Youtube PFP since the artwork's creation and featured in other Youtubers works. i dont speak about him much or draw him often these days (to the point j forgot how to draw him, hence the hideous redesign i reverted) but Asobi and, in turn, his inspiration Astro Bot, continue to be so SO important to me.

this game was announced at one of my lowest points outside of 2016 IYKYK,, it was a huge turning point for me. Astro felt like a self contained niche interest, no one else i knew had even heard of the franchise, even fellow PS5 owners, PSVR owners etc, i felt so alone in my adoration for him and Playroom. so when this game, a full length actual title expanding on the tech demo i could not get enough of was announced, especially at such a peak low for me - it was an ABSOLUTE gamechanger. suddenly i'm meeting my fellow Astro appreciators, seeing exclusive controller skins released (which i managed to bag before the scalpers, thank you EE, no one thought to check you 🤭), i even just got accepted as a moderator on the modestly sized and growing Astro Bot discord server! it's so rewarding finally seeing the Astro franchise finally getting the love it SO much deserves, for its enchanting visuals and super charming mascot, and gameplay so fun and intuative it genuinely rivals Nintendo in 3D platformer delight. i realise how corporate i sound saying all this - i'm not sponsored or affiliated, i just love Astro so so so much ;; 🩵

had to have the much needed crossover artwork of Astro and his spiritual son lined up for the release date of what's been so far, my most hype game release in history 💙💛

Not sure if anyone else has done this yet but I’ve designed my own Astro-Sona! I’d love to see more people do their own. Loving the game 💙
