Developer Notes #7

Greetings, Star Guardians.

This is PD Koo of .

Since first introducing the game on PlayStation®5 and Steam, we have now completed the global launch across all platforms, including mobile.

From the early stages of development, we set out to deliver a cross-platform experience that allows players to enjoy seamlessly across PlayStation®5, PC, and mobile. This was by no means an easy journey. 

Nevertheless, we believe that being able to present the game on all platforms has made that journey truly meaningful.

We are sincerely grateful that reached the Top 10 in global popularity rankings on Steam, and that even after the launch of the mobile version, many new Star Guardians continue to join us in Britannia. Thanks to your continued interest and support, we were also able to reach the No. 1 ranking in mobile markets in several countries, including the United States, Japan, and Korea.

We would like to once again express our sincere gratitude for the incredible interest and support we have received from Star Guardians around the world. 

As a token of our appreciation, our development team has prepared the following rewards for all Star Guardians.

- 3,000 Star Fragments

The rewards can be claimed from your in-game mailbox until April 25 (Sat) 08:59 (UTC).

Please make sure to claim it before the deadline.

If we are given the opportunity to share more joyful moments with you in the future, we will do our best to cherish their meaning and share them together. We kindly ask for your continued interest and support for the story of that lies ahead.

We have seen many Star Guardians continuing their journeys on the Steam platform and spending more time exploring the game. In particular, we have observed that players who engage more deeply with the game are sharing positive impressions of the overall experience.

The time you spend exploring Britannia and enjoying its various content is a great source of encouragement for our development team, and we are carefully reviewing all the feedback you share with us. 

At the same time, we are aware that some Star Guardians have experienced inconvenience during gameplay due to various issues and bugs since the early stages of launch, and we are making sure to carefully review not only these issues, but also the concerns and feedback you have shared with us.

Our development team is prioritizing issues that can be addressed in the near term and is working to implement improvements as quickly as possible, with the goal of providing a more stable and enjoyable gameplay experience so that more Star Guardians can enjoy the game and share positive impressions.

In this Developer Notes, we would like to briefly introduce some of the improvements that are currently being prepared.

✦ Addition of Endgame Content

We have seen many Star Guardians reaching World Level 4 and gradually clearing Hell difficulty content. 

In response, our development team is preparing new endgame content that will provide a new objective for those who have strengthened their heroes through Hell difficulty.

This content is planned to take the form of clearing multiple floors based on various combat rules, with the goal of delivering a challenging experience appropriate for higher difficulty levels. In addition, we are preparing rewards that are typically difficult to obtain through regular gameplay.

Of course, in addition to this endgame content, we are continuing our preparations to introduce new stories, regions, and boss challenge content through future updates, and we kindly ask for your continued interest and support.

✦ Quality-of-Life (QoL) Improvements
In , gathering and obtaining materials required for crafting across various regions is an important part of the gameplay experience.

As the process of searching for and tracking materials needed for equipment, enchantment, and potion crafting is essential, we have also identified a significant amount of feedback regarding the inconvenience experienced during this process.

In addition, we are carefully reviewing the various quality-of-life improvements commonly suggested by our Star Guardians. Alongside improvements to gathering convenience mentioned above, we are working to prioritize and implement changes to areas within the system that require further refinement.

We will share more detailed information on these improvements through future updates.

✦ Addition of Engraved Equipment Stat Preview

To reduce the burden of decision-making during equipment progress and allow for more intuitive choices, we are preparing a feature that allows players to preview the stats gained when engraving equipment in advance.

✦ Improvements to Visibility Affected by Combat Effects

We have identified feedback that it can be difficult to clearly recognize combat situations when multiple skill effects occur simultaneously during party play.

In response, we are preparing a feature that allows players to disable other players’ skill effects during combat, helping improve overall visibility. Through this, we aim to make combat situations easier to recognize and clearer.

✦ Improvements to Issues Related to Summoning Pets

We have identified certain situations where Summoning Pets may not appear properly or may be dismissed unexpectedly during exploration.

Summoning Pets are designed to provide various convenience features, such as automatically collecting dropped items or assisting with mining and gathering based on their skills. As such, we intended for the experience of exploring Britannia alongside your pet to feel smooth and enjoyable.

However, we sincerely apologize that intermittent issues are currently preventing this experience from being delivered as intended.

We will work to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and continue improving the system so that you can enjoy a more stable and seamless exploration experience with your pets.

The improvements outlined above are based on the feedback and inconvenience experienced by our Star Guardians during actual gameplay, and we are continuing to refine the game with the goal of providing a more intuitive and comfortable experience.

We will continue to incorporate your feedback and further enhance the overall quality of the gameplay experience.

■ Survey for Improving the Gameplay Experience

As mentioned in the previous Developer Notes, we are conducting a survey to better understand your gameplay experience and reflect your feedback in our future improvements.

▶ Go to Survey

We encourage you to share any inconvenience or areas you feel require improvement while playing the game. All feedback will be carefully reviewed, and we will actively reflect your input to provide a better gameplay experience.

As a token of our appreciation, a small reward has been prepared for Star Guardians who share their valuable feedback. Please refer to the notice below for more details.

▶ Go to the Grand Launch Survey Notice

As mentioned earlier, thanks to your continued interest and support, we were able to achieve the No. 1 ranking in several countries. 

That said, we would also like to once again ask for your understanding regarding the frequent maintenance that has been unavoidable in recent days. We will continue to do our utmost to provide a more stable gameplay environment as quickly as possible.

We will continue to listen closely to the valuable feedback you share with us and do our utmost to build a better Britannia together with our Star Guardians.

Thank you.

Sincerely, 

PD Koo
