Star vs. The Game

[starvsthegame]

Sometimes I pop the music from this game and listen to it in work, so energetic and full of cool beats!! The thing is, I can't find the music for the first act of "The Workshop" level, with the glass tubes and school assets, in the game files. Which is quite a shame because it's one of my favorite tracks :(. Could you please share the .ogg file for this track?

That’s odd it isn’t in the files, but you can find the track and many others on the musician’s SoundCloud right here: https://soundcloud.com/plasmawispy/hammerspace-workshop-stage

Enjoy!

Hi! I've been waiting for this game to happen ever since I learned about it! Now that I have it, it was worth the wait! I could go praising everything I liked in the game (The bosses were really fun!) but I just have a question to be sure. I've found the secret level (Super Kelly World level 1) but, is there anything in it? I can't get past the edge of screen, and I can't leave the area without exiting from the menu. Is that all of the level? No secrets? Also good luck on your next projects!!

Haha, I totally forgot that it was still possible to get there. Kudos to you for managing to find that! It was originally going to be a full bonus stage, but I didn’t have any inspiration on how to make the stage enjoyable, so I scrapped the idea.

After over two years, this Star vs. the Forces of Evil fan game has finally been completed. Thank you to everyone who has shown their support all this time!

Star vs. the Game GameJolt up!

IT’S HAPPENING.

The GameJolt for Star vs. the Game is now up with a two-stage demo, and the full game will most likely be out TOMORROW.

The full game has 7 stages as well as some bonus content when beaten. Play as both Star and Marco and save Echo Creek from a mysterious meteor threat!

Star vs. the Game: 2D and 3D at once

One of the more interesting and experimental gameplay features of Star vs. the Game is how the game will switch between 2D and 3D spaces. I’d say the levels are split around half and half and are mixed among each other; for example after running through a large park in 3D, you may find yourself in a trap-filled As Seen on TV Store in 2D!

Developing like this came with an interesting dilemma; obviously the game can’t be played the same way in both 3D and 2D, so how do we keep the game focused and interesting in both dimensions while at the same time making them feel like they’re still the same game? After some trial and error (And an entire stage painfully scrapped), I eventually found how to play to 3D’s strengths, which centered around freedom and cool environments, and 2D’s strengths, which centered around fast and mechanic based action. Here’s a clip to show what I mean:

Looks pretty cool, right?

Finding the way that makes the game the most fun to play is a difficult process involving a lot of testing and ideas being tried and tossed out, which is one of the reasons it’s taken so long to develop this game. So, thanks for everyone’s patience :)

Finally, I wanted to show off a video of a stage that uses this 2D and 3D gameplay style in an interesting new way. I’ve posted a video of this level a while ago, but it’s received a pretty massive face lift since then so why not?

That’s all for today’s update!

Hey I know I've asked this before, but I really wanna know what happened with the soundtrack of the game and Rex's channel on YouTube? It got deleted for some reason and it will be very helpful if you tell me where I can find the songs.

Unfortunately, the creator of the songs chose to remove their music from sites and leave the team some time ago. One day they may choose to post the songs again, but in case they don’t, we ask you to please understand.

It’s finally time to talk Star vs. the Game again!

Hey everyone :)

So, it’s been quiet around Star vs. the Game for quite some time, and I am sorry for that. Game development is slow, man, and I couldn’t feasibly make constant updates when usually so little takes so long to make. Still, I could have been more transparent, and I apologize for that.

But, I’ve been working all this time, and I’m at the point where I believe I can start to talk about Star vs. the Game and show it off little by little, with a release date that isn’t long into the future. So what do you say we do just that?

My plan is to go into more level specifics in future updates, but I wanted to show how the game looks right now on a general level. You may remember this area from the very first gameplay video shown, and you may also realize that this place looks a bit different! I’ve been spending a lot of time going over old artwork I’m not as satisfied with as my pixel art skills develop. While I honestly can’t promise a totally uniform style since there’s just so much artwork I made over such a long time frame, I can say that the art will be stuff I’m happy with.

A new feature here is a score counter, which is something I was originally hesitant to add (And to be honest I’ll probably move it somewhere else, I’m not sure I totally dig its location right now...). Coins, of course, fill up that counter, and in between levels you can visit a little shop to spend them! More on that later.

Other updates include tighter combat and animations, adding a lot of little graphical details and such, and trying to make the game shine. I’ll show off some of these in a video update soon!

This is about the end of this update, but hey, just for fun, here’s a couple screenshots of some future things to come.

See you in the next update!

Can you upload sprites of Star & Marco? This game is utterly fabulous. Hyped to see release!

Of course :) here’s the unfiltered and transparent sprites of the characters used in the promo art. Bottom one is 1:1 pixel size and the top one is 5:1. Feel free to use these sprites for anything, but please give credit!

Super Kelly World :D

Hey everyone! So this isn’t Star vs. the Game, but I spent the last few days making a little fan game called Super Kelly World in memorial of recently sunk ships. It’s pretty fun if you ask me, but be prepared for things to start getting weird as you play through it. :)

We’ve also fixed the issue with the encounter for the final boss so now you can enjoy the game in its entirety!

[starvsthegame]

Welcome to the mind-bending void! 

[starvsthegame]

Im so glad this is being released! What is a short description of the storyline that doesnt give to much away!?

Originally, the storyline was going to be set somewhere in the middle of season 2 but due to conflicting points with canon and our story, we settled on rewriting the storyline and not have it be involved with any plot elements in the show as much.

[starvsthegame]

When is release this perfect game? I what play it :D

Well we just got back to working on the game after we took a little break/hiatus during the holidays so release dates are still up in the air. Just know the game is still in development and we’ll give updates whenever we can.

[starvsthegame]

I'm looking forward to it!!!And here's a little bit of advice:I looked the demo vedio and I think the characters' name in dialog box can be larger or thicker,distinguish the text font.The same font as the text looks a little weird.

Glad you’re looking forward to it! :D We’ll take that advice into account once we get done on the main stuff such as gameplay and level design.

Seems a bit dangerous to jump around on rooftops during the rain, don’t you think?

Just a princess fighting evil one jump&shoot at a time.

Check out this other awesome svtfoe game!

Snapping my fingers as the beats keep on thumping. Very strong track, one that is quite fitting for a heavy platforming section, special 'Nachos Riding' portion, or a heated brawl through futuristic streets.

[starvsthegame]

You should make a ship wars DLC after you release the game, also can’t wait for the game looks amazing 🤗

We’ve mentioned before that any extra content will be made once the main development of the game is close to being finished plus we’d have to ask @moringmark if he would be fine with that. Oh and thanks for the compliment and being excited about the game :)
