Find The Stars - Game Updates, Previews, And More!
(This is where future updates, sneak peaks and more to the game will be posted!)
What is Find The Stars?
Find The Stars is a Badge Hunting game developed by Gearhead Co.! (My development group)
Here’s a little bit of what it’s about:
- In the game itself you walk, or hover, or slide around the map
- Collecting little thing-a-majigs called Stars which award you with Badges!
- These Stars vary in difficulty! As some are insanely easy whilst another one is near impossible to collect.
(an example of a Star!)
Pre-Release: Developer Update 1
Hey there! If you’re reading this then… Thanks for doing that I guess? Lol
I wanted to share some things I have created for the game! Just as a little update.
Recently, I’ve been working more, more and more on the game! Spending hours a day on just the littlest details!
First off, Lets start with the unused content and general changes to content that I’ve shown in the past.
1. The Map Layout Change:
In Previous sneak peaks I showcased parts of the map, with the grasslands being directly connected to the city and the forest, no parkour no nothing.
I liked this idea however it began to feel a bit flat and boring compared to previous versions of the map. So I decided to change it up. Alot. So, I’d like to showcase a WIP of the new layout!
Everything feels more adventurous and packed with content now unlike before!
2. The Removals (?)
Previously, I’ve shown sneak peaks of space exploration and different worlds!
However, to speed up the release of the game and to not be so ambitious I will unfortunately have to scrap these ideas.
Do not worry though! These ideas will be re-implemented on the 1st official update of the game after release! So they aren’t gone forever.
I know it may seem like a shame for a game based around stars to not have space exploration off-the-bat but trust me, I will make sure to make up for it!
(And like I said it’s coming back anyways :P)
The Cool Stuff!
Now that I’ve showcased changes to previous sneak peaks! Here is some new content never before seen! (I think)
1. A Calm Place???
Though heavily WIP, A Calm Place’s café will be making an appearance on release! Currently considering the idea of a cross-over collaborative event too, causing players to play the other game in order to get some rewards!
Wonder if Ben will be here…
2. “Bighead” Tower
Hmm… Seems familiar to something I’ve seen in the past but I can’t quite put my finger on it…
Oh well! In this mysterious tower, you will have to make your way to the top through a load of obbys, only to be forced to go back the way you came in under a certain time limit! Act fast or who knows what’ll happen…
Off-topic, I’m really craving some pizza right now.
3. The Caverns
I wonder what lies deep within this ancient cave, burrowed into the side of The Central Mountain…
Make sure to use the glow ability provided to you in order to light your way through the darker sections!
4. Glow Ability
Those of you who keep up to date with the news of the game may remember a little thing called the “Star Lantern”, this has since been replaced with the glow ability due to the various bugs, issues and more created around the lantern. However, the lantern will make an appearance on release but not in the way you might think…
Silly effects…
Finishing Thoughts:
This game has been really tough and exhausting to work on, especially with school and just, in general, life going on all at the same time. It has been fun I will not deny that but there comes points where I feel I wont be able to live up to people’s expectations or where I’ll deliver something I’m not proud of.
This game is taking forever to release and I am aware of that. But I need to make sure this game is near perfect, sure there will be bugs or mistakes on release but I need to release a functional game by the end of the day.
I’m hoping for a January 2024 release at minimum, though I cannot 100% confirm for that to be the case. It sounds easy in my head but given there is my final exams and such going on fairly soon, and college next year, a more reasonable release date could be March 2024 or April 2024 at medium.
I will make sure, however, that this game releases before 2025, it will be a 2024 release. And that is for sure.
Thank you guys for your continuous support on all my work and games, thank you for reading all of this and thank you for being amazing.
Bonus Content!
Hey all! Here is where I’ll be adding additional info, unrelated or related to the game! A wild west of sorts. I plan for each developer update to have a fun little gimmick at the end of each post to make it feel more special!
So for this post, I’ll be doing:
STIHRELTRBISN
(Song That I Have Really Enjoyed Listening To Recently Because It Sounds Neat)
This post’s STIHRELTRBISN WAS : [Find The Epic Faces OST - Vaporwave]
Link has unfortunately been removed
I’ve really enjoyed this ever since I found it! Just a nice calming but also upbeat and chill song at the same time? It’s hard to describe but it is really good! Especially for a niche game like Find The Epic Faces! (P.S Nyoom if you’re reading this, Hi!)
