Site News

Hello all! We have successfully completed our first event! 

We would like to thank you all for joining and playing !! 

We will be working on finishing up all the pending prompt submissions then the raffle will be rolled! Please give us a few days to get this done. We will be crafting a news post to wrap up the event officially where we'll announce the winners and a few more things! 

Keep an eye out on the Star Eater news for that update. 

Happy new years and new beginnings for Star Eaters!

Open Beta starts now!

Check out the Advent Calendar!

Welcome to the official Star Eaters open beta! While the site is still [and likely always will be] in progress, we are to a point where we can release to the public and start doing events and get the game kicked off! Currently the ARPG [Art Roleplay Game] side of the site has the base features of an ARPG; prompts, currency, items, and character pets! While theres many more features we have planned this core gameplay is enough to begin the Star Eaters adventure!

Some information on the Star Eaters open beta;

• Everyone who joins will obtain an MYO slot item to create their first Star Eater character [or maybe not the first for those of you who've gotten characters of the species in the past haha]
• The open beta will be a TIMED OPENING, this means we will have joins freely open to anyone for a certain ammount of time, the site will be open to join for TWO WEEKS and will close again, this is to midigate the traffic to the site just in case, so us mods don't get overwhelmed! [none of us get paid to run this site currently, so we don't want to overload ourselves with work!]
  • Depending on how much interest we get we may choose to close early, but we will do our best not to!
• The site is still in BETA and while we'll always be working on this project it'll never be complete, the state it's in is not a completed fully fledged game yet. Many pages are still being constructed and progress can be slow due to this being a hobby project [again none of us make money at this time! not even the owner! it costs money to run actually so I, the owner, need to keep my day job unfortunately]

RAFFLE

For the beta we have created BRAND NEW Star Eater designs which will be raffled off at the end of the month!! You can already claim a FREE entry with no extra things to do for it by going to the prompts page and submitting to the prompt titled "FREE RAFFLE ENTRY" More information is in the details of that prompt!

We are raffling off 10 premade star eaters! five of which will be claimable via the Adoption Center using a special Adoption Voucher item and five are mystery designs created by the mods!

• Winners will claim either a randomized mystery design or an Adoption Voucher in the order in which they are rolled! if all of one or the other get claimed, the remaining winners will get what's left.
  
  • There are five mystery designs and five adoption vouchers and ten winners!
• Mystery designs will be rolled after all of the prizes have been claimed
• Adoption Vouchers can be used immediately upon recieving them and the design claims will be on a first-come-first-served bases.
• Adoption Vouchers will be good for all designs in the adoption center, both old or new.
  • Adoption center designs will be swapped to adoption voucher only for one week or until all adoption vouchers have been used before returning to Star Tokens.
• if an Adoption Voucher goes unused it will be turned into a Star Token at the end of the week.

CLOSED BETA COMING SOON!

Hello future space adventurers! We would like to officially welcome you all to our little corner of the internet!

STARTING ON DECEMBER 1st OF 2023: We will be doing raffles of closed beta invite codes on our discord server! If you are interested in joining and participating in the site and game early be sure to keep an eye out on the discord server and get the raffles ping role so you are notified! We will be giving out a certain ammount each week in december based on our needs.

• minigames
• and more! you may notice some things already on the site that don't have any content yet, those are things that will be worked on over time!

While we do have big plans for the future of the Star Eaters game, keep in mind that this is a passion project and updates will likely be slow! If you are interested in supporting future development of the game keep an eye out for adoptable designs by dio which will be posted in the sales tab! If there is enough interest post launch we may open up the Ko-Fi.

we are aiming for a Janurary 1st full opening of the website and have an event planned to kick things off! if you are interested in helping out with managing the website when it's launched shoot dio a DM on discord [xholydiverx] and we can discuss! [only apply for a helper position if you are 18+ please]

**Please note that janurary 1st is only a goal, because dio has a fulltime job outside of art and college, simply being too busy to work on this passion project full time may impact the full launch date. I sure hope it won't but I wish to be up front about this in the very real possibility that it does happen!

Regarding deviantart

DeviantART was our home for the beggining of our journey with the species and was dio 's art home for even longer. Sadly due to recent events dio is NOT comfortable using the site or having a community hub there.

HOWEVER. Until the website is fully joinable we will be posting these news posts there as well. Once the site has opened completely, we will no longer use nor update the deviantart page.

The deviantart page and deviantart masterlist will stay up for archival purposes only but will NOT be updated. please be wary of users selling Star Eaters offsite if they only have the deviantart masterlist page or don't have a link to the website's masterlist listing.
