Salutations, Starskippers!
Merry Space Christmas, and Happy Helio-Holidays to you all! This has been a busy year for us at Starskipper Games,
so in an effort to keep you up to date with our newest creations, we’ve launched Starskipper Monthly: a regular news update each month for all things Starskipper.
Starskipper Monthly will be posted halfway through each month, keeping you updated on every new development since the last post.
Website Overhaul
As you may have noticed, the website has been updated!
As well as a full cleanup, the updated website also boasts improved mobile-compatibility, better navigability,
and more peace of mind for MK. In the future, the website will be receiving monthly updates, alongside each Starskipper Monthly.
Starskipper’s Handbook Update
Over the past several months, we’ve continued developing our Sci-Fantasy tabletop roleplaying game: The Starskipper’s Handbook. As you may or may not know, The Starskipper’s Handbook was actually the first game we started developing, back before we knew much about game development (and “scope creep”, haha). The Starskipper’s Handbook has gone through many large updates over the years, and has been in a Closed Beta testing phase for a couple years. That will be changing soon.
We’ve been listening to player feedback and updating the playable character abilities, while adding in the tools needed to run a game of Starskipper. This has all been with the focus of releasing an Open Beta build of the game early in 2025. There’s still more we need to develop to meet our release goal, but this month we completed a stable build (version 0.5.6) that represents our last Closed Beta update.
More updates will follow in the next Starskipper Monthly, but we’re happy to announce that The Starskipper’s Handbook version 0.5.7 will be the start of our Open Beta Playtest! This beta will be free on our website, and will be regularly updated with each new playtest version. As always, your feedback is appreciated!
That’s all for this edition of the Starskipper Monthly! It’s been a hectic year, but we’re excited for the next; stay tuned for regular updates and exciting new content from Starskipper Games!
Until next time. Seek the stars!
