- 20,000 Sales! Roadmap: Co-op, Upcoming Price Increase, Next Major Update - 18 August 2026
Hello everyone!To start off, I want to thank you for supporting Second Stellar- in July, the game surpassed 20,000 sales! I'll keep working hard to shape the game to be the best it can be. To that end, this post will be a roadmap of the next major update, which is planned to be a huge one- so big, that I'm skipping 0.3 and 0.4 and calling this update 0.5!Price Increase (4.99$ to 7.99$)Before I introduce any features, I want to be fully transparent and say this update will coincide with a price increase, likely to 7.99$. There will be regional pricing for this just like the base 4.99$ price. I think the amount of new content justifies this price, so please read on. Note that I'm planning a sale when this price increase happens, so it'll go a bit lower before it raises to 7.99$! Of course, if you already own Second Stellar, no problem!2 Player Online Co-op!If you've visited the Discord, y…

Hello everyone! The next major update to Second Stellar is coming soon, v0.2 "Ocean of Storms." This update focuses on fleshing out all aspects of the game with new items, weapons, skills, and more!New Difficulty SystemThe biggest element of this update is the new Surge system, replacing the original 4 tiered difficulty. Each stage will have a set of default Surges, and other optional Surges- there are 3 tiers of Surges tied to Key Surges (these are the original difficulty toggles.) Additionally, stages may have unique Surges that interact with the stage's mechanics. For instance, the Neon Veil's Surges add a Dash cost to the teleporters, or increase their cooldown. To unlock new Memories, you'll need a certain Surge level- choose Surges you feel you can handle, and tailor your character's equipped skills to cover your weaknesses! Expect this system to be adjusted and expanded upon as t…
