Hello everyone!
We invite you to read our April news recap and give you a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on with our game so far.
At the beginning of this year, we shared our extensive and long-awaited full gameplay trailer, which showcases the core pillars of our game: building a functional factory and base for your operations, exploring the new and mysterious open-world planet, and combating otherworldly, ever-energy-hungry enemies. The trailer also included the release window for our Early Access launch, which is coming in Autumn this year!
By the end of February, we reached a big milestone for our game - we’ve surpassed over 25,000 followers here on Steam. Thank you for your engagement, and we’re very happy to see you becoming as excited about the game as we are!
To increase your appetite, we’ve added some brand-new screenshots from the game. If you’d like to see them in HQ, head over to our Discord server, where you can find them all as a special 🎁. You can use them as desktop wallpapers, notebook inlays, or wall prints. you name it!
To see more details, we’re inviting you to follow us on our social media. We regularly post new content, such as behind-the-scenes materials on how StarRupture is coming to life. If you’d like to be the first to see them, follow us on your favorite social media channel.
But if you’re not into social media, don’t worry! We’ve prepared a neat recap of what is happening in our development for you so that you can take it all in a big - but condensed - form down below. Enjoy!
After showing our shooting mechanics in our gameplay teaser, we’ve read and taken your feedback seriously, so you’ll be able to enjoy improved mechanics that now feel much more natural and satisfying.
We’ve tweaked the animations, added case extractors, re-done the audio feedback, and sprinkled it with some more polish - please see it for yourself on the video below:
If you’re eager to see more - check out our full gameplay trailer in action on YouTube.
During Valentine’s Day, we gave you a glimpse of how versatile our base building is - it does not only need to be functional, but can be fancy as well!
Unleash your creativity to build with style, and sometimes you can also use your architectural skills to show somebody your feelings towards them! ;)
Did you ever wonder how the various environments of StarRupture are made? Have a look at the video of one of our level designers, meshing a gully and using it to transition from one biome to another.
Using rocks, vegetation, and dried-up stream beds, he properly transitioned an empty gorge into an authentic gravel desert. Every meter of StarRupture is designed intentionally for you to be fully immersed in our world.
And what would a functional factory be without a smart logistics system? That is why we've created drones!
They might not look like much, but they are the blood vessels of your base that will be essential to automate, expand, and deliver rare resources from one location to another. Honestly, they're kind of cute, too.
Have you ever wondered in what world you will be experiencing all your adventures? Have a look at a couple of showcase videos of our unique environments of the planet Arcadia-7.
The very first shows that our biomes are full of exciting discoveries. Rich sources of calcium nesting near water, titanium deposits on basalt structured hillsides, and strange alien flora with fruit waiting to be harvested… with something grand lurking on the horizon...
The second one shows that Ruptura Star elemental waves play a huge part on the world in StarRupture.
You will see how the regrowth phase affects the flora, making tree leaves grow anew, fruits become ripe for looting, grass and moss grow back, covering the rugged and rocky surface, and water reservoirs fill up again.
In StarRupture, you will need to collect multiple resources from different wave phases not only to progress but also to survive...
Thank you for reading our recap! We hope you’ve enjoyed it. We can’t wait to show you even more of the content that we’re currently working on!
In the meantime, stay tuned for our fresh & exciting updates on socials and right here on Steam as well, as we’re on our road for the Autumn 2025 Early Access launch.
Until next time,
Creepy Jar Team
