These massive flying machines boast equally massive cargo capacity. Once the Airship Port is built, they will hover freely at different heights across the entire tower.[/p][p][/p][p]Airship approaching!

(Design sketch)[/p][p][/p][h2]🔨 The Renovation Team is Ready: More Base Area Details![/h2][p]Besides researching new technology, the Towertizens have also meticulously renovated the base of this colossal structure. Well, you always have to start at the bottom, right?[/p][p]In the new version, the tower base will feature different details depending on the chosen difficulty mode. For example, here is the Tower Base area from the original version:[/p][p][/p][p]And in the Hard Mode of the new version, this area will look like this:[/p][p](Development sketch, not an in-game screenshot)[/p][p][/p][p]For those who concerned about other Zones, don't worry! In addition to the tower base area, we will continue to roll out optimizations for other zones in the future.[/p][p]Frost Zone concept sketch[/p][p][/p][p]In addition to the above, the next update will also include various other optimizations and bug fixes. We will share the specific details when the official update is released![/p][p][/p][h2]📌 Future Roadmap[/h2][p]Since the Early Access launch at the end of September, we have got a lot of suggestions and feedback. After a period of relatively frequent updates, we believe the current version has reached a stable state, and subsequent major updates will require us to spend more time on comprehensive design and debugging.[/p][p]So, here is our preliminary future development roadmap! We will continue to refine the roadmap as updates progress and closely monitor your feedback. After all, the feedback from community is always the primary driving force behind game developing.[/p][p]If you have any complaints or suggestions about the game, please feel free to leave us a message in the comments section, the review section, or our official Discord Server: https://discord.gg/CMWatT989k[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey folks![/p][p]December’s just around the corner—can you believe that? Friends in the Northern Hemisphere, ready for winter yet?[/p][p]We just wrapped up our WePlay offline event, and it was an absolute blast. Our booth was busy from start to finish, and we even met some veteran players who’ve already beaten the game and came all the way over just to say hi. That really warmed our hearts 😭[/p][p]STARIO is currently at its all-time-low 10% off, so if you’ve been curious, now’s a perfect time to hop in and see what the tower life is all about![/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][h2]💫 Vote for Us![/h2][p]City-building fans love to joke that Wonders bring ruin, but in STARIO, Wonders are at the heart of the whole experience. [/p][p]Like we said in our launch post—we hope this tower can be a place where you witness those tiny, fleeting miracle of life. Not just a shelter for the towertizens, but also somewhere you can forget life’s worries for a while and feel that little spark of joy from every discovery.[/p][p]Steam Award nominations for this year are now open! If you’ve ever felt peace, anticipation, or awe while watching the whales glide by, the birds soar, or your tiny workers bustling around—if a newly completed Miracle Tower ever made you stop and admire it—we warmly invite you to nominate us in the Outstanding Visual Style category.[/p][p][/p][p]Voting runs until December 1st, so feel free to jump in anytime! There’s still so much we need to learn from all the incredible games nominated this year; nonetheless, we hope this precious opportunity will help more players discover our tower![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hit the button below to vote for us![/p][p]Press ME![/p][p][/p][h3]🛠 Updates & Feedback[/h3][p]Before Early Access out, we mentioned that we chose Early Access because we believe the tower still has tons of room to grow—and we want to build it together with all of you.[/p][p]From the very first demo until now, every bit of progress the game has made comes from your feedback and ideas. Since launch, we’ve been reading community discussions every day, and many of your suggestions have been super fun and genuinely helpful. Based on your feedback, here’s what we’ve added so far:[/p]

• [p]A new Stats Panel to check item counts, production/consumption rates, and population trends[/p]
• [p]Porter Management—set their work area and choose what they carry[/p]
• [p]Four new tower layer types for even more refined planning[/p]
• [p]Highly requested features like copying building settings and disabling weather effects[/p]
• [p]Improved building snapping and pipeline placement[/p]
• [p]…and more![/p]

[p]A lot of these ideas came directly from your comments. Sometimes when we’re stuck late at night thinking through a feature, one tiny spark from a player post becomes the perfect inspiration. So if you’d like to support the tower, feel free to leave us a review and share your everyday tower stories. We read every comment carefully and take them into account for future updates![/p][p][/p][h2]🚧 What’s Next[/h2][p]We’ve also been planning the next big updates. Many things are still being tested and discussed, but here’s a small sneak peek:[/p]

• [p]New logistics buildings to make transportation more interesting[/p]
• [p]Tower exterior customization—you’ll be able to paint your tower![/p]
• [p]New gameplay mechanics to add more depth[/p]
• [p]Improvements to the trade and wish systems[/p]
• [p]…and lots more cooking behind the scenes[/p]

[p]We’ll share progress with you as soon as we can![/p][p]And if you have thoughts, suggestions, spicy takes, or wild ideas, you’re always welcome to drop them in the comments—or join our official Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/sfXVUFRzP7[/p][p][/p]
