THE STARSIDE WEEKLY – 4.18.2025



  • The first waves of Kickstarter backers have now come into the game.
  • Most people have filled out and returned their Kickstarter Backer Survey. Check your spam filter if you can’t find the survey. We need this to fulfill your rewards.
  • Instructions for joining the playtests will come in an email from FirstLook.gg, not from PlayableWorlds.com.
  • Our next new playtest build is expected on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
  • What is Hortus Renovare? A celebration of the origin of chocolate-covered strawberries? GUNC will explain! This is our first Stars Reach holiday-themed celebration and the players created it.


  • Content Creator Burke Black had his first Stars Reach livestream last night. You can catch the VOD here:
