A Look to the Future (And an Exciting New Adventure!)

Sep 18

Hey everyone,

What an exciting week it has been for our team.

Between transitioning Legends of Starkadia to Chapter 1, launching our soundtrack and supporter bundles, and diving into Steam’s Party-Based RPG Fest, we have been incredibly grateful by your response. Seeing this community rally together to help build our development bucket has given this project a fresh wave of momentum. Whether you picked up the game, shared our open letter, or left a review, thank you for standing with us!

If you haven't had a chance to explore the new launch additions yet, you can check out the complete package right here:

Moving On to the Next Horizon: Welcome to Harmony!

As we mentioned in our update last week, while we are actively tracking player interest to see if we can eventually return to build the remaining planets of the Starkadia galaxy, our team’s current daily, active development focus is poured entirely into our next major project.

We love the characters and design philosophies we built here so much that we couldn't just let that creative spark go. If you want to see where that exact passion and humor is heading next, we would love for you to join us on our next adventure: Welcome to Harmony.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4447030/Welcome_to_Harmony/

What is Welcome to Harmony?

Welcome to Harmony is a vibrant, cozy, yet strategically deep 3D deck-builder where you build a timeline, adapt your strategy, and execute your plan to save a quirky town from a seemingly benevolent corporation. On the surface, Harmony Industries claims they only want to make life in town better, but behind closed doors, a much more mysterious, nefarious agenda is at play.

If you look closely during your journey, you might just spot a few familiar faces and thematic nods deeply inspired by the universe of Legends of Starkadia (as well as some crossover surprises from Ember Knights!). In fact, we loved our main character Mikey so much that we completely re-imagined and reworked him to fit perfectly into the cozy, mysterious world of Harmony.

Unlike traditional deck-builders, Harmony breaks the mold by utilizing dynamic dice mechanics to navigate a living overworld board game map before diving into strategic card combat.

Instead of just collecting raw cards, the gameplay experience relies on curating synergies through a deep pool of relic combinations, custom card upgrades, unique cards modifying stickers, and game-changing consumables. Every run offers a completely distinct tactical engine to solve the mystery of the town.

Dive Into the Free Demo This Weekend!

The best part? You don't have to wait to see what we're cooking up. There is a fully playable, free Demo available right now on the store page.

If you want to support our studio's next active chapter, downloading the demo, giving it a spin this weekend, and hitting that Wishlist button is the absolute best way to help our team gain visibility on Steam.

Thank you all once again for being the most supportive, passionate community a studio could ask for. We can’t wait to keep building these worlds together with you.

Question about the pirate ship that's in the video

Hi I haven't had the chance to play this yet because I am in the middle of another new game. But the video showed a pirate ship battle. is it currently In The game? Because it was giving me some skies of arcadia flashbacks lol. And if this game was going to have some similarities to soa then I will be even more depressed that they cant finish the game....

The Transition is Live: You Just Changed Everything

Sep 15

Hey everyone,

We are completely staring at the dashboard in disbelief today.

When we posted our honest update last week about transitioning Legends of Starkadia to a paid model, we were bracing for impact. Shifting a project's model is always a massive gamble, and we didn't know how you would react.

To say we’ve been taken aback is a massive understatement. Before that announcement, the game had roughly 28,000 total downloads. As of right now, we have officially surpassed 200,000 downloads.

Reading through your comments, emails, and forum posts has been an incredibly emotional experience for us. Seeing how many of you stepped up to say you want to see this universe continue has given us a completely new wave of energy. We cannot thank you enough.

The Shift to $1.99 is Live (And How You Can Stand With Us)

As promised, today the base game officially transitions to $1.99 USD.

If you already downloaded the game during the free window: You own it forever. It stays in your library completely free, and nothing changes for you.
If you just got here: Every single dollar from these sales goes directly into our studio’s development bucket to recoup our initial two years of work and pave the road toward future chapters.

Because so many of you explicitly asked for more ways to help us fund that development bucket, we have officially launched our expansion bundles today alongside the price change!

Here is how you can vote with your wallet to keep us building:

The Starter Edition Bundle (Game + OST)

Grab the core game and the 9-track official soundtrack together at a 10% bundle discount.
Every purchase helps fund our ongoing studio bucket!

The Ultimate Supporter Edition Bundle (Game + OST + Supporter Pack)

This is the ultimate tier for true believers. It includes the game, the full soundtrack, and the brand-new Supporter Pack featuring 4 exclusive alternate cosmetic skins (2 for Mikey, 1 for Frank, and 1 for Drake) to show off in Scrap World at a 15% bundle discount.
100% of revenue from this premium edition directly funds future chapters.

Meet the New Look: The Supporter Skins

For those grabbing the Ultimate Supporter Edition today, here is a close-up look at the exclusive alternate skins your backing unlocks:

Whether you choose to grab a bundle, buy the base game, or simply leave an honest review on our store page, you are directly voting on whether the remaining 10+ planets of the Starkadia galaxy get built.

Checking Out the Party-Based RPG Fest!

Today also marks the kickoff of Steam's official Party-Based RPG Fest! Legends of Starkadia is incredibly proud to be featured alongside some absolute masterpieces.

While you are exploring our new bundles, please take some time to browse the festival page and check out the incredible work of other indie RPG developers. Making games is a beautiful, terrifying gamble, and supporting our peers keeps the entire indie ecosystem alive and thriving.

Keep the Feedback Coming!

We want to keep this transparent momentum rolling. If you want to show your support, provide feedback, or just talk strategy on how we scale this universe, jump directly into our Official Discord Server[discord.gg]. We're hanging out there daily, and we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for giving our studio a fighting chance to finish the story we started.

Clarity on the release

Hi all, This thread is to help clarify things. Our original vision for the game was absolutely massive, but after about 2 years of development, we came to the harsh realization that we were way too ambitious. Rather than bury our work, we figured enough people would enjoy seeing what we made, so we decided to make Scrap World its own experience, complete with a final boss fight. It didn't seem right to charge anything for it which is why it's free. Happy to answer any questions....

An Honest Update on the Future of Legends of Starkadia

Sep 2

Hey everyone,

We want to talk openly about Legends of Starkadia, where it stands, and a shift in our plans for the game.

When we launched Starkadia, we were deeply transparent about its development. As a small team, the original 11-planet vision was simply too massive. Rather than shelving two years of hard work, we packaged Scrap World, the first planet in the epic adventure, and released it for free. At the time, we told you we didn't feel right charging for it, and that we had no active plans to continue development.

We meant it then, but we’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the universe we built.

We love Starkadia, and we know a lot of you do too. We find ourselves constantly wondering, “what if we could finish the game?”

To honestly gauge if there is enough player interest to justify bringing Legends of Starkadia back into active development, we are shifting the game’s model. Think of the current game as Chapter 1.

On September 14th, Legends of Starkadia will transition from a free game to a paid game priced at $1.99 USD.

What this means for you:

If you already own the game: Nothing changes. You keep it forever, for free. It will remain in your library.
If you haven't grabbed it yet: You can download it for free right now until the transition date.
Where the money goes: Every dollar from these sales will go directly into a dedicated bucket to help recoup our initial 2 years of development costs and, crucially, to fund future chapters if the demand is there.

We know this is a pivot from our previous post, and we don't take your support for granted. If you want to see Starkadia grow, buying the game (or leaving a review) is the ultimate way to vote with your wallet and show us there is an audience for it. If not, we are still incredibly proud to have shared this piece of our world with you.

Thank you for being the best community a studio could ask for, and for supporting us through all our experimental leaps!

Chief Engineer

I'm stuck by the end of the game. I already found two of the crewmates (eaten by slug and from the hurricane), despite walking a few times around whole map I can't find the chief engineer. If it helps I've entered one cave with two boxes and one house with a single box. Where is the last crewmate?...
