Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #114

The first month of 2024 is almost in our rearview mirror, and though there has been no big bang yet (as expected), we’ve had a decent amount of news to report on every week. This past week was no exception! Major highlights of course: the first ship release of the year and the Community Week announcement for the last week of February. On top of that, Michael (CEO) provided an overview of the work going on to improve stability and reduce technical issues, which we included verbatim. Then, there were a bunch of smaller tidbits worth sharing, such as the Atlas Brew, Econ changes, and conferences.

Breakpoint is behind us, the first Golden Ticket draw went smoothly, and the second raffle is now open for submission. Of course, we also had a Breakpoint Community meetup in Amsterdam. And certainly worth mentioning, the team surprise-launched a combat easter-egg in SAGE Labs.

Today, the biggest Solana event of the year kicked off in Amsterdam, and Star Atlas is there! On Thursday, November 2nd, Michael gives a Keynote speech on the main stage, and on Tuesday, October 31st, there will be a community meetup in two parts. But throughout the week, Star Atlas will meet (potential) partners, discuss possible collaborations, and, of course, soak up the info on all the new solutions coming to Solana that will be announced during the conference itself. Additionally, the schedule for the Golden Tickets raffles has gone live, and you can submit your tickets for the first draw right now! But there is a ton more this week!

A relatively quiet week lies behind us, but the team is still moving at full speed ahead! The team made some tweaks to the economy last week, but the next patch should be coming very soon! In other news, we are expecting the next issue of CORE on marketplaces soon, and we are gearing up for Solana’s Breakpoint conference and meetups, of course!

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #100

Last week was relatively quiet, though there for sure were some exciting developments. Not only did SAGE Labs break the 15% daily Solana transactions barrier, but the team also released their SAGE Labs Development tools! On top of that, the latest issue of CORE is finally available on Magic Eden. We also got a few sneak peeks from the team, and the team published an infographic showing all the loot you can win/craft in SAGE Labs. Lastly, this issue you are reading is our 100th Star Atlas newsletter!

Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #99

Since its release, people have been heads-down playing SAGE Labs. In parallel, the team was heads-down, fixing bugs and making small improvements. But, fortunately for this issue, more happened last week! A highlight was the team publishing their latest Economic Report, covering the 3rd quarter of 2023. However, most newsworthy tidbits you’ll find in this newsletter came from Chip (Director of Game Systems Design) and, to a lesser extent, our very own data runners.

We had a big week last week, with the launch of the new StarPath V2 referral system and the release of the very first SAGE iteration: SAGE Labs! Meanwhile, a lot of players have jumped into Labs, and though there are some show-stopping bugs (at least for some), it looks like most people react favorably to it. Besides this, the 2nd Photography concluded, ATLAS Prime went live as well (as part of Labs), and we’ve got the latest on the first Golden Ticket raffle.

Another week went by, and SAGE Labs is closer to release than ever before. However, it does look like we’ll need to wait a little longer. Meanwhile, limited community playtesting has begun, which ruffled some feathers in the community. Beyond that, not much happened last week. We did get a bit more insight into the roadmap going forward, and the team shared some shots of a new ground race track environment that you’ll be able to explore in Showroom R2.2.

After the information-packed last weeks, the past week was again a more quiet one. The Atlas Brew was filled with lore from José (aka ZeSKK – Star Atlas official Penguin) on the various systems we’ll get to explore in SAGE Labs, and how this lore ties into the other lore that is already out there. In other words, a lot of lore-alpha was dropped, but nothing regarding gameplay or timelines. Fortunately, Chip (Director of Game Systems Design) was feeling generous, answering many SAGE Labs-related questions on Discord. This led to some interesting insights into how different ships behave in that game, which you can read about below.
