The Steam Deck is an awesome portable machine, and I want my fellow Steam Deck users to feel right at home when playing Superstar Strategy.

- Superstar Strategy Demo v0.22 Now Available - 14 September 2023
Hey folks! Today's a major technical update to help the game play better on Steam Deck, as well as reduce a variety of visual clutter. There's also some gameplay updates for the Champion and Vampire. Check out the details below. New Features Added ability to skip most non-objective cutscenes by pressing the menu button and selecting the skip option. Balance Changes Vampire ATK reduced to 4 again from 5. Vampire BLK increased to 1 from 0. Champion Tackle and Drag skill now apply a new status effect Engaged is a status that reduces a unit’s MV to 0 until the end of the current battle round. Engaged grants an action to the afflicted called “Disengage” that allows the unit to move as if it weren’t stunned and end its turn. This makes it a weaker stun than Paladin’s guaranteed MV reduction while allowing Champion’s displacement skills to have an impact on unexhausted enemies that could just…

- Superstar Strategy Demo v0.20.2 - Major Update Now Available - 9 August 2023
Hey everybody, Talberon here! Big announcements today! A big patch with a whole bunch of new features! While I continue to work away on the Campaign, I wanted to share a bunch of quality of life changes, bugfixes and a new name! Super Sol Standard will henceforth be named Superstar Strategy! This name better conveys what kind of game Superstar Strategy is; it’s right on the tin, and it’s easier to say and spell, to boot! (Sol? Soul? Sole?) To commemorate this new identity, check out the hot new trailer showing off all the new art and UI design, as well as the rebrand: Superstar Strategy Demo v0.20.2 Patch Notes New Features New Unit Preview Screen When selecting a unit and pressing the Unit Preview button, a new screen showing the unit’s skills (or NPC behaviours), status effects, inventory and tips now appears instead of opening the Unit Codex. This is now universal for all units and a…
- Super Sol Standard Demo v0.19.2 Released - 10 July 2023
Hey folks! This update is primarily an art update that updates most of the portraits for the units in the game. Not many functional changes, but this was a big art undertaking, so hope you enjoy the facelifts! New Features New Portraits for almost all unit classes (player units and NPCs) Some unit sprites have been adjusted to account for the change in their portraits. Quality of Life Changes When flipping a switch, the camera pans only to the entities affected by the switch instead of including the switch itself, so the camera zooms more towards the relevant changes. Bugfixes Fixed a visual bug where units on the map would play their active animation after they started combat and got stuck that way until they moved. For updates on game development progress and to join the community, consider following me on Twitter and joining the Talberon Games Discord Server. Don’t forget to Wishlist…
- Super Sol Standard Demo v0.19.1 - 5 July 2023
Hey folks! Another big update today (several-version bump!) with a lot of cool new features for the demo! Check out the deets below: New Features Combat phase has been rewritten. Units that fight in melee range share a connected stage. Units that fight at range each stand on separate platforms. Units that are within combat range walk onto the stage, while units out of range appear standing in place. Units take a step forward to attack at range, and two steps in melee, then return to their original position. New star and dust particle effects. Pushed unit stats to the corners. The stage beneath each unit samples the average colour of the tile they are standing on. Health bar windows and damage windows enter the screen independently instead of as a whole unit. Rewrote the whole combat logic under the hood to use sequenced events instead of hacky frame-tracking flag nonsense. Added new rot…
- Super Sol Standard Demo v0.16.0 - 12 June 2023
Hey everybody, Talberon here. Thanks to all of you who tried out the new v0.15.0 demo! I have some new updates after receiving some feedback from players. Check out the changes below! New Features Added a new option in the main menu options to toggle the game’s fonts to a non-pixel font for users that have difficulty reading the pixel fonts. Balance Changes Escape Relics objective has been reworked into Deliver Relics objective. Units no longer leave the map when dropping off relics to the objective. In the demo, this only affects the Skulls from the Skull Throne map. Functionally, aside from a minor visual difference, this particular mission plays exactly the same. Quality of Life Changes Added a new “Autoplay Combat Steps” option in the main menu to allow auto-progression of confirmation prompts during combat on a player’s turn. Added markup colours and icons to Objective descriptions…

- Super Sol Standard Demo v0.0.5 - 25 June 2022
Bugfixes Fixed an issue where running Windows (and possibly other OSes) with a non-English system language with accent characters would cause the app not to launch. Removed pre-baked SaveData that was included in previous versions. These should not have been included in the build and should be generated when starting the game for the first time. Misc Moved the log folder to SaveData along with the other data
