[p]Dear islanders,[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks a lot for you continue support and attention. In response to the issues that many of you have been concerned about recently, we would like to address them here in a unified statement:[/p]

1. [p]Starsand Island do not have in-game purchases system, please enjoy the game with confidence.[/p]
2. [p]All unreasonable or overly restrictive clauses in the user agreement have been removed. We will never restrict players from using mods or other custom content, and there is no anti-cheat system implemented in the game. After the full release, Steam Workshop will also be opened to allow everyone to freely create and share their ideas.[/p]
3. [p]Regarding feedback about the lack of voice acting and story content, we have taken note of this and will add more voice lines and narrative content in the full release to further enrich your gameplay experience.[/p]
4. [p]As for issues such as model clipping and stiff controls, we have received your reports and will continue to optimize the game. Update logs will be provided so that everyone can follow our progress on fixes and improvements.[/p]
5. [p]All Red Note themed items will be obtainable through in-game themed event tasks in future updates.[/p]

[p]Starsand Island is not perfect, and we will continue to listen carefully to the voices from our players while constantly improving and refining the game. We firmly believe that only through the joint efforts of both developers and players can we create a positive community environment.[/p][p]Once again, we sincerely thank you for your feedback and continued support.[/p][p][/p][p]Starsand Island Team[/p][p]Seed Sparkle Lab[/p]

[p]We have recently noticed a large number of overly positive "praise" comments about our game appearing across various social platforms.[/p][p][/p][p]At first, we believed this meant our game was being recognized and appreciated. However, we soon noticed something unusual on Steam: some comments were posted after very short playtime, were released at nearly the same time (appeared to be AI-generated).[/p][p][/p][p]This made us realize that something might not be right.[/p][p][/p][p]Is this some kind of overpraise as an attack? We have no concrete evidence, but it does feel as though someone may be doing this intentionally. What makes it even more puzzling is that this approach is not cheap, since leaving a review requires purchasing the game. (We later discovered that some of these accounts refunded the game after posting their reviews.)[/p][p][/p][p]We would like to say this clearly: making a indie game is not easy. We simply want to focus on building a good product and giving the players who truly like our game a better experience.[/p][p][/p][p]So, to whoever may be behind this, we kindly ask you to stop. Please let us focus on making our game in peace. We pose no threat to anyone.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you very much for your understanding. Next announcement, we will respond to the main concerns raised by the community.[/p]
