Happy 2024! |
One piece of feedback we keep getting is that it takes a while to get to Stardander (where most of the story and excitement happens). While we want to introduce Callie and the world before she arrives there (and what is at stake for her), we decided it could be trimmed and re-arranged to be more exciting and move faster. |
Since launch, we've had a lot of feedback, and while this update might not add any content, it does improve and fix a lot of minor issues.
We have more changes on the way (and we've already started the next chapter), but I figured I'd upload these fixes right away. Let me know if you have feedback - we're always looking to improve Stardander! |
Stardander School for Witches launches in Early Access today at 2PM EDT! Join us in stream for chatting about game and hitting the big green launch button! |
[h2]In your own words, What is Stardander?[/h2] |
Lets kick off the spooky season! Stardander School for Witches Part One is releasing on October 2nd 2023! Get ready for witches, mystery, fae battles, trials, contests and more!
Ready to enroll at a unique magic school? Wishlist and follow Stardander: School for Witches on Steam and get hyped for our release on October 2nd! Still arent certain you want to attend? Try the demo - which is available on our store page now and includes the games first year. Looking for more spooky witchy goodness? Try Stardander Revenant - a halloween-themed spinoff game that takes place 12 years before the start of Stardander: School for Witches. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1779840/Stardander_Revenant/ |
There's been a lot of updates and improvements in the playtest, many of which affect the demo too, so I decided to post all of the playtest updates here!
*Starred items are new in the Playtest as well. In other news, we decided to try Early Access for Stardander - see the Early Access section of our steam store page for more information. This means that we'll be releasing years 1-4 as part one in early access this fall, so look forward for more information about that! And we'll continue to work on the years 5-7 during our time in Early Access - we are fully committed to finishing Stardander! |
We're really excited to be part of the turn based festival this year - as the battle system is something we're really proud of! I even made a video talking about it and the new quick cast system here: |

While we've mostly been focused on Year 2 and beyond, we got a lot of good feedback during the Steam Next Fest and wanted to post an update to the demo!
I'm hoping to have year 2 finished and uploaded to the playtest by the end of this month - so if you have access to the playtest, look forward to that! If you don't, then hop on our discord and ask to be given access! |
Ready for some spooky magical mischief this fall? Were showcasing a demo of our upcoming game, Stardander School for Witches, at the Steam Next Fest from October 3-10! Weve been working hard on polishing the first chapter (of seven) to share for the demo, and were now all set to show it off in time for the festival! The demo and live streams are free and open to all during the festival week, so please stop by our Steam page and say hi! This will be a great time to try out the game, interact directly with the developers and ask us any questions you might have. For those who have been following Stardander's development, we were originally considering launching the full game this halloween. However, we made some major changes to the games structure after great feedback on our spinoff game, Stardander Revenant - which changed our trajectory. Plus, we wanted enough time to polish the game properly, and so decided to postpone the release and focus mainly on the demo this year. We don't have a firm release date yet but the full game will be coming out sometime in 2023! Aground Zero We havent forgotten about our 3D Aground spinoff - Aground Zero! Development is progressing well, and we even plan to share a demo in the Steam Next Fest in February 2023! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1795570/Aground_Zero/ The world has ended. You are deep underground, and all alone other than your AI companion. You will have to mine and build to survive, and search for other survivors to help you. Will you be able to reach the surface? And what will you see when you get there? The demo content of Aground Zero is already mostly done, it just needs some polish and a few more 3D models. Since you can build bases from pretty much the beginning, the demo requires a large percent of the models to be complete. Ive started working on the questlines and NPCs beyond the demo area - and Ill probably update the trailer and share more about Aground Zero once those last incomplete models are done! For those curious about why we decided to make two games at the same time, I just released a blog post all about it here: https://david.fancyfishgames.com/2022/09/two-games-at-same-time-crazy-or-genius.html |
