Watch the developers play their own game! A developer team playthrough (plus discussion/shenanigans) on October 8th at 4PM EDT: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1733050/view/3401926123933930098

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!
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

Delve into the lives of four young witches as they learn magic, protect their families, try to stay on their brooms, and work hard to unravel the mysteries surrounding Stardander, the best school of magic in the world.
Your time at Stardander will be full of surprising discoveries, strategic battles against many fae creatures, late-night study sessions, and not a few delightful pranks at your least-favorite teacher’s expense. Breaking a few school rules is to be expected, but try not to get yourself into detention in the pitch-black (and probably haunted) dungeons!
For centuries, the human world has been under siege by a Fae army whose leader’s favorite weapon is insidious psychological warfare. In this perilous setting, humanity must rely on magic-users for protection. Can you and your friends become powerful enough to take on this most-feared enemy?
Long ago, humans summoned Fae creatures to this world and bound them to their will. But when pacts were broken, the power of the Fae turned upon humanity and brought chaos.
Only the aid and protection of a group of sympathetic Fae kept humans from being annihilated. These Fae became known as the Protectors, and founded the human-Fae Alliance. But one notoriously powerful and malicious Fae - Apexsens - has a deep grudge against humans and has not given up his quest to exterminate them, using any means necessary.
The safety of the Protectors cannot last forever - only through mastering their own magic do humans stand a chance. For nearly 300 years it has been Professor Dare's task - and atonement - to teach humans the very magic that once dominated and enslaved her.
After mysteriously vanishing for seven years, Professor Dare is now back to re-open Stardander, the best school for witches and the hope of all humanity.
Protagonists
- Callie is frilly, pampered, and thinks magic is for common folk. Why in the nine realms does she end up at Stardander?!
- Freya is the deathly prankster who might see ghosts, but is the sweetest of cinnamon buns.
- Rory is the overachiever who tries to do what is right but is overshadowed by a notorious family.
- Mira is the feisty Fae-touched fighter who doesn't quite understand how to be human (yet).
