• Watch, Listen, Improve: Tutorial Upgraded! - 3 December 2024

  Since the release of the Appetizer Demo, we’ve carefully reviewed feedback from in-game forms, the Steam forum, social media, and playthroughs by content creators. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to improving the game! Here are some examples of how your suggestions led to in-game improvements: Slot-Crafting Tutorial: Early playthroughs (e.g., Sergeant Kelvin's) showed players focusing too much on cupcakes. To diversify crafting, we added the first quest about Sponge Blobs in the Jacket and standardized the term “slot-crafting” for clarity. Players were destroying the yellow corals at the start of the game anyway, so this didn’t disrupt the flow much. 😉 Healing Mechanics: Players like Grillmastah experimented with eating raw ingredients to test the effects in search of something that restored HP. We added a quest featuring the Sunblish Apple and introduced an "Eaten Ra…

• The Slot-Crafting💡🧁 - 23 October 2024

  Greetings, Star Seekers!🌟 After our initial playtests, one feature clearly stood out as needing the most improvement: the crafting system. While combining multiple materials to create wild and unique items was fun, the process itself required too many steps, and the interface wasn't as intuitive as we wanted. Let’s break it down. Slow Start In the earlier versions of the system (we had a few iterations...), crafting a new item required the player to: 1. Find the correct crafting station on the level. 2. Place it in the Briefbase. 3. Gather the necessary resources. 4. Access the crafting station physically or through a large crafter selection screen. 5. Select a recipe or set up a new composition of materials. 6. Click OK once you’ve created something with a specific composition for the first time. Too long! Let's speed things up! The new version, internally called "Item Creation v4," s…

• 🌱 Gardening #101: How to Get Rid of the Pests 🌱 - 17 October 2024

  Slugs got you down in Across the Wonderlands? Fear not, Star Seekers! Here’s your quick guide to handling those slimy pests: 1. Shrink Them One of the best ways to deal with slugs is by shrinking them. Throw a dish packed with Electricity (supplied by Cotton Candy) at them! That’s why you’ll notice so many Rabid Candies running around the Sanctuary. ;) 2. Blow Them Up Place a Popping Poppy near a slug and watch it explode! But be careful—the blast can hit you, too. If you throw a Waterberry at the Poppy before it detonates, the explosion will be even more powerful! 3. Let Them Float Got flash-banged by a big slug’s detachable tentacle? No worries! Stun them back by shooting Colorful Sprinkles at them. You can collect these from Flying Fish. Either… you know… ahem harvest the fish quickly, or feed them Slug Meat and wait until they poop it out. ;) 4. Make Them Fall If you’ve built the Pu…

• Appetizer Demo in the Steam Next Fest 🌠💻 - 14 October 2024

  Hello, Star Seekers! We’re thrilled to announce that Across the Wonderlands will be part of the Steam Next Fest with a special Appetizer Demo! After our initial round of closed community playtests earlier this year, we’ve taken your valuable feedback to heart and made some exciting updates to the game. 🔧Here are the most significant changes we’ve made since the playtests: You can now eat every material and ingredient you find and throw/shoot any equipped item! You can smash every deposit on the level for materials! Redesigned crafting system for a smoother, more intuitive experience while keeping it open and elaborate. Integrated progression system with gathering and building mechanics, resulting in the birth of Skillbuildings. Added the first Briefcase abilities, including the Puff Propeller (try to throw it under a small slug) and Briefcase Vortex (try to throw it at a small slug!).…

• To the Star is now Across the Wonderlands! - 24 September 2024

  Greetings, Star Seekers! In summer 2023, we envisioned a survival video game inspired by the classic novels "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. By blending these two literary masterpieces, we aimed to create a whimsical world filled with interplanetary adventures and philosophical musings on the peculiarities of sentient beings in the galaxy. At the heart of it all was the quest to reach the "star" that had struck our home planet—the ultimate goal. Naturally, we chose the title "To the Star". While it was somewhat generic, we appreciated its brevity, memorability, and pleasant connotation. However, challenges arose during the logo design phase, as any versions referencing the star came off as tacky. We then shifted our focus to a style reminiscent of "Don't Starve," blended with Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland." This…

• Unleashing the Power of the Briefcase 💼🦸 - 18 September 2024

  Greetings, Star Seekers! 🌟 In our whimsical world, your briefcase isn’t just for carrying supplies—it’s a powerful tool filled with unique abilities to help you on your journey. Today, we’re diving deep into the feature that makes your briefcase truly special: its skill-granting powers! Many of our playtesters loved the idea of carrying a personal dimension around, so we designed the entire progression system around it. Instead of gathering experience or skill points through typical game activities, we thought it’d be more fun to tie progression to exploring, gathering, and building. That’s how we developed the concept of Skillbuildings: structures you build in your Briefbase that grant you new abilities. For example, you can set up a whimsical Puff Propeller on one of your islands and enlist some friendly Honey Bees to power it. Don’t worry, they’re happy to help! Then, use it to reac…

• Emotional Damage! 💖 🗡️ - 20 August 2024

  Greetings, Star Seekers! To continue with the crafting theme, we would like to dive deeper into some of the most interesting ingredients in "To the Star"—Emotions! 🌟🍲 In our game, emotions are more than just feelings. They’re powerful gameplay elements that can affect your enemies. Here's how. Emotions like Fear, Love, Jealousy, Anger, Disgust, and Surprise can be collected and used in your recipes. Combined with standard ingredients, they add unique behavioral effects to your dishes. For instance, Jealousy can turn your foes against each other, while Anger might make them attack wildly after a series of defeats. Disgust transforms their tactics, limiting them to ranged assaults, and a random moment of Surprise might even gift you loot without a fight! These emotional encounters enrich the game and add layers of strategy and surprise, making each encounter unique. Whether you're using…

• Swift and Imaginative Cooking🍳 - 24 July 2024

  Dive into the culinary universe of "To the Star" and unleash your creativity with our inventive cooking mechanic. In "To the Star," the culinary arts allow players to create dishes that will make them invisible, enlarge or shrink themselves, impose zero gravity on an enemy, and much more! Dishes bearing negative attributes can also be utilized as projectiles in combat. Gathering as many ingredients as possible and unlocking all the crafters you encounter on your journey is vital. Each crafter opens new possibilities for composing the ingredients, allowing you to experiment with combinations that can enhance or modify the effects of your creations. Think of it like a battle card game where the outcome depends on how you play your cards—you can use one card to become invisible and another to double the time of that effect. Each ingredient combination brings a unique twist to the table. Fr…

• Refining the Usability of Quickpicks🛍️ - 11 June 2024

  In the vast world of "To the Star," accessing important items instantly is crucial for survival. That's why we've introduced three customizable Quickpick Panels with seamless transitions to enhance your gameplay experience! ⭐️Main Quickpick: This is your go-to panel, where you store items you use most frequently. Eatables fall into it automatically in case you need a quick bite on the go. ;) 🤾Ammo Quickpick: Automatically activated when you enter aiming mode (by holding RMB), this panel allows you to access your ammunition quickly. 💼Briefcase Quickpick: Perhaps the most intriguing of all, this panel lets you deploy throwable “structures” from your Briefbase. The default shortcut for this is Left Alt, but you can also access it by scrolling down while holding the RMB. Take, for instance, the Popping Poppy—a flower filled with juice and anxiety that explodes when enemies approach. And t…

• Narrating the Past: Backstory Through the Journal Entries📓 - 13 May 2024

  Embark on a captivating journey with the Journal in "To the Star"! As you traverse the enchanted realms of the game, keep an eye out for scattered journal entries that delve deep into the backstories of our heroes and their enigmatic father.

• Carrying the World on Your Back💼🌎 - 5 April 2024

  Greetings, Star Seekers! We're embarking on an epic journey to bring you a magical gaming experience. With each news update, we'll explore the exciting features of our upcoming game, “To the Star,” starting with the Briefbase dimension. What exactly is the Briefbase dimension? Briefbase is your headquarters (a base of sorts) hidden inside a magical briefcase. We came up with this concept while searching for a solution to the problem of having a game about a journey with a strong base-building element. We want the player to transition from one spot to another (progressing in the game toward the ultimate goal—the fallen star) while continuing to develop his ‘base.’ Here's what you need to know about the Briefbase: 🏰 The Briefbase offers a relatively safe retreat where you can focus on building and expanding your base and get creative. ⚔️ Combat Usage: Structures in the Briefbase can be u…
