It is finally here! You can now start your star-hunting adventure with the free-to-play weekend! The Rise Of Magic Open Beta has finally gone live!
And here is what is new in Stellar Stars 1.2: Rise Of Magic: New! - Play as Vona, the new mage of the misfits! - Unleash powerful magic in the arena with tons of new spells! - Feast your eyes on the new visuals and animations for existing spells - Jump higher with the new Double Jumping! - Get a better grasp of boss stages with the new health bars for bosses! Gameplay Improvements/Changes - You can now counter spells that have already been countered with Asuka - Find out more about each character with detailed information on their stats and special skills Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug where you could still use your special skill after dying in local versus matches - Character information will now appear correctly when you are selecting your character in online multiplayer matches Now all of the above would not be possible if it wasn't for your continuous support and feedback to the Stellar Stars community. And we are really glad to be able to continue working on the game and to create a better experience for you. Having said that, we should share a little about Vona - the new mage who is making her appearance in Rise Of Magic!
As the newest member of the family, Vona doesn't shy away from standing out with her tall and pinky hat. In fact, she is proud of who she is - a misfit. Born from the desires and imagination from people who just don't seem to fit in anywhere, Vona has the magical gift of channeling powerful energies from the world. While lacking in pure physical capabilities, she makes up for that with her magical abilities. Her special skill - the Magic Beam, allows her to shoot out a pink beam across the screen, doing damage to anyone who dares challenge her magical talents. And so that begs the question - how will you play as Vona? Be sure to join us on Discord at https://discord.gg/stellarstars! Enjoy and have fun with the Rise Of Magic Open Beta as it will only last till this Sunday on March 5th! Cheers!

Hello fellow Star Hunters! We have just released another patch for Stellar Stars and it includes some juicy new animations and of course - bug fixes!

New Animations!

The 1st animation that steals tonight's spotlight is the new death animation for multiplayer and local versus matches!
When you are defeated in a multiplayer or local versus match, you turn into a tombstone. But fret not as you will re-spawn in a few seconds! And we now have a new animation for when Drink Up (which gives you 6% chance to regain 1 hit point when you hit an enemy) activates for you!
Think of it as blood or health leeching your opponent or the minions!

Bug Fixes

Today's patch also fixes the following bugs: 1) Where the word "READY" will sometimes still stick around in online multiplayer matches and block the view for the rest of the match 2) Where the game will sometimes lock up when entering a new stage after quick restarting several times in the challenge story mode What do you think of today's update? Let us know in the comments below as we read each and every 1 of them! Look forward to the next announcement as we will have some exciting updates for you soon!

Aim for the top and climb up the leagues to the top 10! We will be announcing some exciting new stuff in the upcoming updates! Look forward to that!

This hot fix includes the fixes for the following bugs/glitches:

1) In the Challenge Story mode, the black bars (letter box) on the top and bottom of the screen will sometimes not disappear after the starting intro cutscene ends 2) Broken text on level up screen after destroying first boss in challenge story mode 3) Skipping the starting intro cutscene will sometimes cause it to stay around and block the view when the game has already started 4) The number of required stars to unlock new characters in the challenge story mode is not updated regardless of the number of stars you have collected in online matches Remember that if you found any new bugs/glitches, be sure to share it with everyone at the Steam Community bugs/glitches list at http://steamcommunity.com/app/436850/discussions/0/224446432327303059/!

Hi there, This is David from WhiteSponge and I want to give you an update on the release date for Stellar Stars, seasons and the road ahead for the game. Stellar Stars (v1.00) will be launching this coming November 11th, 2016 (11.11.2016)! To not miss it, be sure to add it to your wishlist if you have not already done so yet! So what is the deal about seasons? Stellar Stars is first and foremost a multiplayer game, and that means that you will be ranked amongst other players by the amount of trophies you have.
Each season lasts for 2 weeks so be sure to aim for the top 10 every season! In terms of delivering on the rewards and other things promised in the Indiegogo campaign, we are working on all that now and intend to have it all delivered by the end of November. We'll be reaching out individually to you if you have backed the Indiegogo campaign that helped Stellar Stars reach where it is now. We also have an exciting roadmap planned for you. Firstly, we will be adding new characters with their unique special skills and character traits. In addition to characters, we will also be creating new maps for you to battle in. As gamers ourselves, we do not agree with the bullshit that is paid DLCs (with the exception of soundtracks). That is why all future content updates are free and will always be free! Last but not least, we read each and every comment as your feedback matters to us. Thanks for your patience and your support! - David
