StarRune: Popstar

1 month ago

10.000 plays. Wow, how fast these things can go. If you want to, you can read my thoughts regarding this milestone and the future of starrune.


I was waiting for that milestone, considering I always had a few downloads per day, it was a matter of time. But it seems like I've been blessed with some really great days. While it isn't exact it is quite close to a 1 follower per 200 plays ratio, not sure if that's good or bad though.

I am amazed at how much joy Starrune has brought to people over the years, I try to watch every single let's play or stream of it I see. That is my happy place.

I am planning on starting to develop my dream game soon, as I think I have finally found out what it is supposed to be. It will probably come with like a "Soft reset" considering my name contains the german of Snivy. I won't tell what my dream is yet, as I still have to define the details, but it will be like Starrune, at least in some sense. I have always been someone who kinda does whatever I want.

I am really happy for this milestone. While there are many times I feel afraid and many times I feel depressed and empty, there is something great about knowing that I could create something that reaches so many people.

And I also realize that being creative and creating things is what makes me most happy, it's what keeps me alive in an abstract sense. And while there is a certain sadness in me not being the lead developer of the starrune remake, I think it's healthy. I think growing up is important. Seeing what other things this world holds. While Deltarune will always be a part of me, I believe I can make something that can stand on its level in it's own right. Starrune has always been about being it's own just as much as it is a tribute to Deltarune and Kirby and everyone else who makes a cameo. But I have to start making that dream game, and I now start working on the planning required for me to start, questions about artstyle, setting etc.

I am not sure what I will do next, but as long as my hobby is being creative I will surely do something. Maybe even something related to starrune like starrune chapter 0 or some crap like that.

AND NOW FOR ME TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU TO PLAY SOME OF MY OTHER THINGS:

Also play Loving Genesis or my fire emblem things please, I put in lots of work into those too. Loving Genesis is like starrune's "Sword Route" and my fire emblem games are another weird crossover world made by yours truly (including a christmas special with starrune connections.)

Thank you for playing my game.

I now created a few GIFs and updated the game page to hopefully be a bit more interesting to players looking it up.

The GIF's do only have 10FPS, but honestly, I find it sorta charming.

I added in an NPC to the Hive area who complains about the ladybug dodging challenge. A challenge that expects you to no hit attacks that heavily rely on RNG, a not so popular addition. Share your pain with a cameo NPC!

A small thing I made for the "Melting" Track added in Version 2 of Noelle's Forest Adventure. I used Chapter 3's Ice Palace as color inspiration, as "Melting" is based on GLACEIR.

Bro, I fuckin' lost my dumbass dog, has anyone seen him?

I composed a new track for the game. Meant to be a replacement for the Vegtable Basar song as that uses Kirby melodies.

It is a Paradise Paradise remix, considering we are in Kris's video games, I think that checks out.

A new deltarune experience by yours truly. This one is a 2d puzzle game where a snail chases after you. It doesn't have combat or much story but I still hope some fun can be had.

Also has BABA IS YOU elements. (I like that game.)

Starrune went through a lot of demos before I finished the game. Plenty changed, the Parasol Dees used to be a true menace.

Also look at the "Chapter 1 like hp stat" the game used to have. (+5 HP is from it being post Bugzzy)

I started working on an update for this game to fix the fact that Kris is misgendered. As this will likely be the only time I update this game, are there any other things I should tweak?

I already added in an easy mode that increases your survivability.

Hey guys. I will be releasing a April Fools game on April Fools.

Here is a sneak peak into Undertale 2 2. A fishing simulator ish thing. It will be in the same engine as Starrune but don't expect like... A behemoth of a game or something.

I dressed Ramb (Deltarune) up as Annabelle, the main boss of "Loving Genesis".

In making my "Ramb boss take" not Ramb, I truly did copy the "Outsider Ramb" thing. Treating Annabelle more like how Ramb in game.

Reduces the game's appeal, unfortunately.
