Hi, everyone - this post has some major updates regarding Starlight Re:Volver, Pahdo Labss future priorities as a studio, and what this means to our players.

Our Current Situation is Difficult

To begin with some context to be as honest as possible to our community, Starlight Re:Volver did not sell well enough to sustain our studio operations.

We had a lackluster launch despite a strong number of wishlists and a strong community of early playtesters. We acknowledge a large part of this was due to the quality of the game itself; we had ambitious goals of making a bustling social hub with a robust roguelite gameplay system, but we spread ourselves too thin. Our sales numbers are a reflection that the game wasnt fun enough to sustain a consistent, healthy player base.

Consequently, we recently had to cut half of our development team, shift the entire team to working remotely, and had numerous discussions on how to best move forward with the game and what could realistically save our studio from shutting down.

That brings us to the present day: we concluded that incremental, monthly changes to Starlight Re:Volver wouldnt move the needle enough for us to save this game or our studio. Maintaining Starlight Re:Volver as we have done is not a viable path forward, business-wise for our studio, and we need to go back to the drawing board to ultimately make something our community will enjoy.

We understand we disappointed many Divers throughout this process and cannot overstate how much we appreciate everyone who played the game regardless of the outcome. If the opportunity comes, we promise to return the generosity in the future by rewarding our existing players (sorrywe need to be vague on the details but for those who bought the game, we promise it wont be for nothing if we survive).

Starlight Re:Volver will still be available to play

Starlight Re:Volver will still be available to all users who purchased the game and will continue to be available for purchase. However, the game will no longer receive updates and will transition to be an offline game.

Our online servers take a significant amount of money and resources to maintain on top of regular updates, and we cannot sustainably keep up this cadence with our team size with the returns we are getting.

While the game will still be playable, the following changes will take effect:

• Starlight Re:Volver will no longer be hosted on online servers and will be offline (solo) by early December

  [/*]

• All players who purchase or purchased Starlight Re:Volver automatically unlock all dekos (cosmetics) ever made by default

  [/*]

• We will continue to fix major bugs and make technical and infrastructure improvements on occasion

  [/*]

• We do not plan on offering Japanese, Chinese, etc. localization unless we see greater player counts from those regions

  [/*]

What to Expect Next

As mentioned above, well be keeping our heads down with prioritizing our plans for next steps and will share more when we feel we are ready to do so. The next time you hear any major updates from us will probably be around February. We understand that this is a disappointment to our existing community, but we hope to eventually regain the love and trust weve received in the future.

Thank you, Divers.

Hi Divers,

As part of our efforts to consolidate the player base, and due to low player-count on Starlight Re:Volvers South America server, our team has made the decision to spin down our South America server today at 5pm ET. Affected players will be able to connect to our North America or Europe servers, and next week\'s networking improvements should help provide a smoother experience even with increased latency.

-Pahdo Labs

Hi Divers,

Ahead of our upcoming patch next week, we want to give a peek behind the curtains and talk a bit more about what our teams been working on, and whats coming next with Starlight Re:Volver.

First and foremost, we want to extend our biggest thanks to our players and our community. We launched in Early Access to build Starlight Re:Volver alongside our community, and your feedback has been incredibly valuable. Being able to work so closely with players who care as deeply about SR:V as us has been one of the highlights of development.

Our focus for the October patch has been addressing top priority launch feedback from our community that needed a bit more time to get right. While full patch notes will be shared closer to release, we want to highlight three key improvements coming soon: key rebinding, deko re:runs, and networking updates.

Key Rebinding

This has been one of the most requested features since Early Access launched, and were excited to finally roll it out. Our UX teams goal istomake Starlight Re:Volver accessible to as many players as possible, and key rebinding isastep in that direction.

Some notes from our UI Engineer:

Weve actually been working on this feature since before our Early Access launch, but it turned out to be more complex than expected, since Starlight Re:Volver uses two separate input systems: Unitys built-in input framework, and a secondary system that leverages our UI for any menu/UI navigation. Unity supports rebinding relatively easily, but our UI layer unfortunately came with very little support, which meant that we had to build a new system from scratch to allow for both sides to communicate and support remapping in real time. This required not only building a new system to remap our UI controls, but also rebuilding our translation layer between the two systems so that SR:V could correctly register new inputs at runtime, rather than being locked to settings baked in at build-time.

Even after the core systems were in place, key rebinding came with a lot of tricky edge cases that had the potential to leave players stuck or with broken inputs, so we decided to pull it from our Early Access launch because it wasnt up to our quality standards. Supporting both mouse + keyboard and multiple controller types added even more complexity, and given our weak controller support during launch, key rebinding would have made an already poor experience even worse. Our priority was to first get controller support fully stable, which we shipped in the September patch. With that groundwork done, were finally ready to roll out key rebinding in this October update.

That said, we still consider key rebinding to be in beta. Some actions (like basic attacks and a few menu controls) cant be remapped yet, since we want to avoid any setups that could leave the player in a broken state. Please give it a try once the patch drops, and, as always, our team appreciates all your feedback and bug reports!

Deko Re:runs

We know exclusive or FOMO dekos have been a hot topic, and we\'ve been reading through the feedback threads and the discussions happening on Steam, social media, and in Discord. When we originally released early supporter cosmetics, it was our way of thanking our early supporters; it was never our intention to create any sense of exclusion or frustration for the community.

Moving forward, we are doing away with FOMO dekos entirely. That means all future dekos will be available for crafting permanently or at the same time each year (seasonal). We are also re:introducing past cosmetics in a new form so that players who missed them have another opportunity to obtain them. To start, were excited to announce the following deko re:runs coming in our October patch:

• The two deko series that we distributed alongside our September patch (E:MO recolor pack and Falling 4 U recolor pack) will be available at Fox

  [/*]

• A re:color of Spring Fling Kira (Flower Power Getup) will be available at Frankie

  [/*]

• Re:colors of our summer swimsuit Bowline series will also be available at Frankie

  [/*]

We also want to acknowledge player feedback that the time investment required for dekos has been higher than expected. This update is part of our effort to revisit our deko strategy, and to make cosmetics more approachable and rewarding for everyone who spends time in the game.

Networking Updates

Weve also received feedback that players, especially ones in regions other than NA, have been experiencing instances of rubberbanding and desync/networking issues. Improving our networking has been a big focus for our engineering team, but one that took longer to nail down. This upcoming patch includes a networking update that should help resolve instances where players would experience desynchronization from their party. Weve been testing directly with players across regions who have been experiencing issues previously, and were hopeful that this patch will help things feel tangibly better.

On top of networking updates, weve also adjusted our matchmaking so that parties will be kept together at the end of dives this was another feature that was widely requested from our community that were excited to finally release. This means that, after a dive ends, you and your party can vote to either dive again immediately, or return to NIM. In both cases, you will be kept together with your party.

Starlight Re:Volver\'s Direction

Starlight Re:Volvers initial release did not go as we had hoped, in part because we tried to do too much all at once and therefore did not deliver a complete experience. As a result, we are making the hard decision to return to pre-production, which means going back to the drawing board and re-designing the core game structure.

To do this, our development team needed to shrink to a core group of designers, engineers, and artists. Pahdo Labs is now a core team of 15 full-time developers, andweare still working withmany of our previously full-timeartists and devs on a part-time or contract basis.

Starlight Re:Volver is no longer aiming to be an MMO, or MMO-lite. We believe that this vision is too broad for us to deliver as our studios first shipped title. Instead, we are converting Starlight Re:Volver to be a co-op roguelite, which means that it will be available to play fully offline with local save files. This is a self-contained Starlight Re:Volver that you will fully own with no risk of losing access during an End of Service.

This re-creation of our game will be named Starlight Revolver: Ignite. We are testing a new progression system with story and quests, a new dungeon structure more worthy of replaying, and a new way to interact with NIM and its residents.

We are not going dark; the transition from Starlight Revolver to Starlight Revolver: Ignite will happen in public, via monthly updates, in close collaboration with our community. We are grateful to our players for being incredibly flexible and supportive of the major changes we have been making to our game so far, and want to make Starlight Re:Volver the best game it can be with the participation and support of our Early Access community.

Unity recently disclosed a security vulnerability that applies to nearly all Unity games, including ours. Unity is currently not aware of any active exploitation of this vulnerability. We\'re working on a fix to be deployed once we verify stability, but for now, please be wary of the following:

• As always, never download files from anyone suggesting you do so and adding launch arguments to the game,

  [/*]

• Please be aware that this vulnerability can involve files placed outside the normal game files

Hello Divers!

Were so excited to share more about the first major update for Starlight Re:Volver Early Access, dubbed Re:Work. We launched in Early Access to learn and grow with our community, much like online games that inspired us. While this strategy is not without its tradeoffs, we believe Starlight Re:Volver will ultimately benefit from the thoughtful feedback and quick learning cycles that this approach offers.

We launched in Early Access with rough edges and Mixed reviews on Steam. During this soft launch period, we took feedback and concerns seriously and are including a swath of hotly requested and improved player experience changes in this update.

Here are the high level changes this update encompasses:

Greater player counts

With this latest update, we are confident to begin promoting our game more heavily (including a Discord Quest starting tomorrow), to push for higher concurrent player counts and lower matchmaking times.

Combat Re:Work

Through our Pre-Alpha testing and in EA, we tuned our game for our most hardcore and dedicated Divers. While that helped us test the limits of our systems, it also meant our combat and decisions felt clunky, restrictive, and punishing to new players. We have completely Re:Worked the combat experience:

• Solo play is now a completely viable way to Dive, across all difficulties

  [/*]

• Re:Fuel has been removed: play at your pace with more viable build options

  [/*]

• RNG is a lesser factor for getting a peak build; an experienced player can now make any Dive work

  [/*]

• Cooldowns decreased across the board, including Dashes

  [/*]

• Enemy track & attack behavior tuned to be less overwhelming and scales to smaller group sizes

  [/*]

The most challenging version of Starlight Re:Volver will return in a future update as a unique game mode.

Gamepad and Steam Deck support

We have progressed leaps and bounds on our gamepad support, which while not perfect, makes our game fully playable on gamepad for the first time. This is perfect timing with the recent Proton experimental update for Steam Deck, which enables support for Starlight Re:Volver.

Introducing World Conflict

With the Re:Work update, we are also unveiling the start of our overarching narrative arc for Starlight Re:Volver. The once stable balance between Nishi Island and So Mi has begun to DRIFT, and the new generation of Divers has risen to the occasion to reverse it. However, a mysterious faction seeks to let it spread over the course of Early Access, the conflict will further unfold, culminating in the first member of this mysterious faction being revealed.

A more detailed breakdown of all the changes in this update is included at the bottom of this letter.

This was such a fun set of updates to work on, and as a dev team its our privilege to continue making Starlight Re:Volver into game that eventually fulfills its promise.

Thank you to all our early community members that helped make our update as good as it could be!

Until next time,

-Pahdo Dev Team

Hi Divers,

We wanted to update you all regarding language localization in Starlight Re:Volver. Based on reports of poor translation quality, we are temporarily removing support for non-English languages as we work to add higher quality translations.

Hi, Pahdo Labs here!

Wed like to announce that we are updating the price of Starlight Re:Volver to $12.99 USD effective immediately (this is also reflected in regional pricing). After much discussion and listening to the community, we felt that this price was more fair to our players given the feedback weve received and amount of content currently in the game. We also want to make the game accessible to more Divers to enjoy as a community together!

To make it up to our players who paid for the game at its previous price point, we are offering a refund of the difference in price. Unfortunately because Steam does not allow for partial refunds, we will be manually going through and approving refund requests through our request form. We want to make sure our players who supported us from the beginning are treated fairly.

[strike]To receive a refund, fill out our form HERE:[/strike]

(the window to request a refund has been closed and we are no longer processing refunds)

As an extra token of thanks for supporting our game at launch and being part of our early community, we wanted to gift ALL our players special dekos, which include:

• Full NIM dekos for each character (Emo Re:color Pack)

  [/*]

• Full So Mi dekos for each character (Falling 4 You Re:color Pack)

  [/*]

• A special sticker pack (Party Pack)

  [/*]

• A cute early supporter accessory (Lil Sprout)

  [/*]

Please note: these dekos will only be available to players who have logged in anytime before 9/23. After this deadline, the dekos will no longer be available.

Refunds can take up to ~14-30 days to go through. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Thanks you, Divers! Well continue to work hard on making Starlight Re:Volver the best it can be!

A Personal Note from Dan:

Hi Divers!

This is Dan, CEO of Pahdo Labs.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45204813/980640f11bc1efc3ee9a5a1a94b5839bad84c6e6.gif\"][/img]

First, thank you all for making Starlight Re:Volver possible. As Im sure you all know, our matchmaking times are currently not so great. To grow our player base and improve matchmaking times, we have decided to increase the accessibility of our game with a new price of $12.99. When we realized this is what we needed to do to support the health of our player base, we immediately thought about how we can make it right with our earliest supporters who paid $19.99. Despite Steam\'s refund limitations, we\'ve found a workaround by manually processing partial refunds over the next 2-4 weeks. For those not interested in a refund or dont want to provide us with their payment info, were offering a Steam key to gift to a friend as a thank you. We will also be sending all players an in-game care package of cosmetics so we can all be a little more stylish in both NIM and So Mi.

Looking ahead, I also want to share that we are listening to community feedback and doing everything we can to make Starlight Re:Volver more fun for more players. Before the end of the month, youll see a major patch that will:

• Remove the Re:Fuel mechanic

  [/*]

• Increase the viability of weaker powers

  [/*]

• Make solo runs playable (co-op will remain the most efficient)

  [/*]

• Simplify charm categories

  [/*]

• Reduce cooldowns generally

  [/*]

• Make actions less committal

  [/*]

Superstar runs will continue to provide a challenge to our most competitive players while we open up lower difficulties, and our economy to be accessible to the broader audience. Thank you all so much for your clear and thoughtful feedback, and were excited to continue to grow Starlight Re:Volvers community together.

-Dan

We will be performing a hotfix update at approximately 2:30pm ET. During this time, players currently in-game will be forcibly logged out of their NIM server or So Mi dive. When this occurs, we should expect roughly a 2 hour downtime before players may re-enter the game.

Bug Fixes

• Launch Issues

  [list]

• Fix for certain glyphs in computer name allowing the game to be playable on launch for specific players

  [/*]

Hi Divers,

Thank you so much for playing Starlight Re:Volver during our early access launch and showing so much enthusiasm! This patch is by no means all-inclusive - we are working hard on addressing the larger high priority issues you have reported and will get those fixes into your hands as soon as theyre ready. In the meantime, heres what weve fixed:

Gameplay Changes

• Economy Re:balance

  [list]

• Lowered crafting material costs for trinkets, dekos, and fishing gear

  [list]

• Increased crafting material drop chances across difficulties

  [/*]

Bug Fixes

• Disconnects

  [list]

• Put safeguards to help prevent random disconnects mid-dive

  [/*]

Please look forward to the next round of updates!

Were sure the community is aware that we are starting off with mixed reception, and we want you all to know that we are actively reading and listening to all the feedback surrounding Starlight Re:Volver on all our channels. This includes our Discord, Steam reviews, social media comments, bug reports, and feedback channels.

We know the Early Access version isnt without its rough edges, and we want to be clear: we dont take that lightly. Our team shares the same goal as you: to make this game the best it can possibly be, and fixing those issues is a top priority. Please keep in mind the current state of the game in Early Access is not reflective of the final product, and we appreciate your patience as our team continuously works on these updates.

We also recognize there are immediate changes that can improve the player experience and our entire studio is focused on solving these issues. To provide some visibility into what we are working on, we will be implementing a roadmap Discord channel where we will share the studio\'s top priorities.

Here are our immediate top priority fixes we are currently working to implement (note: this does not encompass our plans for long-term content updates):

• Improved gamepad support

  [list]

• A strike team has been established for this, targeting updates as early as 9/2

  [/*]

To highlight feedback around NIM, we hear that it feels a bit empty right now. The NIM you see in Early Access is a taste of a bigger vision that well be building towards in EA. Over the next few months, we will enhance NIM with more things to do, centered on minigames and social features that make NIM feel like an online third space.

By launching in Early Access, were making a commitment to build this game hand-in-hand with our community. We have runway ahead of us to improve and complete this game, and we entered Early Access at this stage to involve the community in that journey

Thank you all so much for the support for our Early Access launch. Our team at Pahdo Labs is extremely grateful to our community this week, and were so excited the game is now available for everyone to play.

Furthermore, to address some community concerns that we have seen regarding our studio, please read our CEO statement from Dan, CEO of Pahdo, HERE .

Thank you, Divers!

The Future of Starlight Re:Volver - Our Roadmap to EA & Beyond

Hi everyone! This is Dan, Founder & CEO of Pahdo Labs.

Were so grateful to our community for trying out and supporting our game in the very early stages, including making our demo one of the Top 10 demos in Junes Steam Next Fest. In response, wed love to share a development update, so that players know what to expect when Early Access comes out later this year!

Starlight Re:Volver will be a live, constantly evolving game that will have quarterly major content updates. To start, we want to deliver a strong core experience with Early Access, offering:

Our price point in Early Access will be $29.99 and we will update the game regularly with new content, balance, and polish until our anticipated release in 2026. The upfront purchase will be our only monetization in Early Access. We believe in delivering great value to players first and foremost.

When our game is at full release quality, we plan to add monetization to support server costs and further development. The $29.99 upfront purchase will always give you a complete game experience. Additional monetization would be for cosmetics & convenience, and be completely optional.

The primary purpose of our pre-alpha playtests and demo was to gather player feedback. While we cant respond to every post, we are reading everything and have a number of changes planned for EA:

• Addition of difficulty selection so that players can play at their desired intensity level.

  [/*]

• Diving tutorial that can be played solo, and build context and tooltips that help players learn the game without needing to read a guide.

  [/*]

• Removal of undesirable Re:Fuel crystal use and griefing. Re:Tuning and introduction of more compelling rewards for spending Re:Fuel.

  [/*]

• Re:Fined character feel, hit feedback, animation canceling, gamepad controls, and netcode across the board.

  [/*]

In terms of our roadmap:

Our intention with Starlight Re:Volver is to set the foundation for a new universe that takes inspiration from nostalgic IP from the 90s and 00s. In a market landscape focused on competitive games and extractive monetization, our strategy is to stand out by offering uniquely inviting game worlds for players seeking creative and cooperative gaming experiences and long-term business practices.

Our leadership team and backers are completely aligned with this vision, and we have never included nor do we plan to include any AI artwork or crypto/NFTs in our products. We are grateful for our investor support, which has provided us with resources to grow our team while maintaining our autonomy to build the business in a way that does right by our mission.

Our long term vision for Starlight Re:Volver is an MMO-inspired game with sustainable monetization and modern gameplay. Theres a growing community that is passionate about this game, but the path to making it is incredibly challenging. To accomplish this, we are following in the footsteps of early MMOs that were allowed to start small and have creative freedom and grew gradually with their communities.

Were on a long journey, and are incredibly grateful for our early community and supporters that kept us going by believing with us in our vision.

Thank you so much for reading our first roadmap update!
