Starsand Island Early Access Launch: 6 Days to Go! Adventure or Fishing?

[p]Dear Islanders, only 6 days left until we meet on Starsand Island! If last issue's farming and ranching were the prologue to your pastoral island life, today we're diving into the adventure and fishing gameplay, revealing even more ways to relax and play. Whether you're a brave soul who loves combat and exploration, or simply wish to be a laid-back "angler" soaking up the sun, you'll find your perfect rhythm on Starsand Island![/p][h3][/h3][h3]The Mysterious Adventure Awaits[/h3][p]\[Basic Adventure][/p][p]Before you set out, you'll need to gear up. Your first weapon is a trusty Slingshot, and using different kinds of ammo will give you distinct combat styles and experiences! You can also craft Sentinel Robots to assist you in battle. As your adventures progress, a powerful Bow paired with elemental arrows will deliver an even more thrilling combat experience![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]\[Mysterious Ruins][/p][p]Starsand Island is home to the mysterious ruins inside the Moonlit Forest—a hidden world brimming with mythical scenery and fantastical creatures. Grab your Pickaxe and mine the glittering ores scattered around, then smelt them into versatile tools. You can even gather unique plants found only within the ruins and bring them back home to grow. And don't forget the precious treasures tucked away in forgotten corners, just waiting to be found![/p][p]\[Treasure Hunter][/p][p]The Moonlit Forest is a winding and mysterious place. Don't overlook a seemingly insignificant corner! We've prepared surprise treasures in all sorts of styles for our Islanders, hoping to add an extra spark of fun for those who love to explore and seek their fortune.[/p][p]Powerful bosses lie dormant deep within the Moonlit Forest. By learning their attack patterns, you can face them with confidence and overcome them with ease. Defeat them to earn generous rewards and summon the Moonlight Divine Deer, gaining its recognition and loyalty as your most trusted companion, carrying you across the island on new adventures.[/p][h3][/h3][h3]Reel in the Big One![/h3][p]\[Basic Fishing][/p][p]As an island rich in waterways, Starsand Island is home to over 100 species of fish, including freshwater, saltwater, and deep-sea varieties. Islanders can use different types of bait and gear like rods, traps, and nets to haul in a massive catch![/p][p]Beyond selling your haul for a tidy profit, you can also build your own fish ponds for breeding and farming, ensuring a steady supply of seafood. Or, display those beautiful, rare catches in aquariums as unique furniture pieces for your home.[/p][p][/p][p]\[Sail the Seas][/p][p]You're on an island, after all—why limit your fishing to just rivers and lakes? Cast your line by the shore for saltwater fish, or set sail for the three major seas surrounding Starsand Island: the Luminwave Sea, Celestwave Sea, and Coralwave Sea. Each sea boasts its own rich and unique fish populations. Pack your gear, stock up on bait, and get ready for a journey bursting with catches![/p][p][/p][p]\[Legendary Fish Kings][/p][p]Every angler dreams of the big one—and here, that means the Legendary Fish Kings!
