Starstruck: Hands of Time News

Starstruck's 1 Year Anniversary!


Happy 1 year anniversary, everyone!

Please help yourself to a Starstruck cookie fresh out of the oven.

Let's celebrate today with a few special announcements.

[h2]Biggest Discounts Ever[/h2]



Starstruck is now on sale for 50% off for the first time ever! If you or a friend haven't played it yet, this is the moment you've been waiting for. The soundtrack is also on sale too.



The remaining limited supply of black T-shirts is also on sale for $12.50 plus shipping. This is a very good deal, but there's only one size left: Asian medium (it's a little bit smaller than an American medium).

T-shirts available here: https://shop.starstruckgame.com/

[h2]Steam Trading Cards[/h2]


Steam trading cards are finally here! I took brand new photos of the clay figures just for these cards. If you've already played Starstruck, I think some cards will automatically get added to your Steam account but I'm not sure.

Rumors say there may also be Steam badges, profile wallpapers, and emotes available now too...

[h2]Revealing one of Starstruck's biggest secrets[/h2]

To celebrate today, I want to reveal a hidden feature in Starstruck that nobody ever discovered.


See those stickers on and nearby the Captain's guitar in the above screenshot? That's the secret: you can decorate the Captain's stuff with your own stickers by just putting some PNG files in a special folder! Personalize the Captain's ship and guitar however feels right to you. Have you ever heard of a hidden feature like this in a game before?

Instructions here: https://starstruckgame.com/stickers.html

This feature has actually been in the game ever since it released, but nobody ever found it. (Actually, this isn't the only secret that nobody ever found.)

[h2]Conclusion[/h2]

With this 50% discount, I hope some more people can have an interesting time playing the game. Looking back at Starstruck, I think it's not perfect but it has some unique value. It's one of the few things in my life I'm happy that I got to be part of making.

To be honest with you, lately I haven't been able to follow my creative dreams much anymore, due to various financial reasons plus the low level of interest in Starstruck. To make ends meet, I've found a new job working on programming advertising systems which has been taking up almost all of my time, even usually on nights and weekends. But even if I can't follow all of my artistic dreams right now, it still makes me happy whenever I see a new review appear on Starstruck's page.

Whether you've already played the game or you're going to play it for the first time now, thank you for giving something like this a chance. I hope you get something interesting out of it.
