The city-building genre is grossly overpopulated. Competing Simvilles predicated on wholly opposed theories about plumbing and traffic wardens stretch as far as the eye can see. As such, the genre must imitate real-life urban centres of the 20th century, and begin expanding vertically. Enter Stario: Haven Tower, the new strategy management sim from Chinese developers Stargate Games, in which you build upward through the realms of Sand, Mist, Rain, Frost, and Clear Skies until finally, your city stands among the Stars.

[p]The parable of Babel speaks of fractured communication and divided civilizations—yet the towers you build stand as the most powerful reply. Each structure that rises from the ground is a unique declaration of order, an eternal interplay between function and beauty along the vertical dimension: a testament to what it means to Tower Up.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]As builders of Babel, we invite you to share with us the story of your Haven Tower —to leave a ever-lasting silhouette in the flow of history! ❤️️[/p][p]⚙️Is it a tightly-woven network of logistics, or a gravity-defying spectacle suspended in the air?[/p][p]🤔Perhaps it holds unexpected beauty born from unplanned “mistakes,” or clever solutions forged through challenges within the system？[/p][p]👀Does each level of your tower record a struggle of spatial planning, a moment of resource crisis, or the triumph of weathering a disaster?[/p][p][/p][p]No matter the current state of your creation, we wish to witness the story that only your tower can tell.[/p][p]So Tower Up!

[p]Hello, everyone![/p][p]As September draws to a close, Stario is finally ready to meet you all! 👏👏👏[/p][p]The EA version is priced at $13.99 USD, with a 10% launch discount ($12.59 USD).[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]📢 We’ve also teamed up with Fabledom to bring you the Fairytale Haven Bundle. We hope everyone can build their very own ideal kingdom.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’re deeply grateful for your support of the game. Over the past months we’ve received many questions, and we’d like to take this opportunity to answer them.[/p][p][/p][h2]👀What‘s in the Early Access?[/h2][p][/p][p][/p][p]As shared in the earlier post, the EA version will feature:[/p][p][/p][h3]6 Atmospheric Zones, Full Tech Tree, and the Ending [/h3][p]The EA version unlocks the full tower, with six distinct atmospheric zones, four natural disasters, the complete tech tree, and a climactic ending at the very top of the tower.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Miracle Tower[/h3][p]Each atmospheric zone now features a unique Miracle Tower. Building one will challenge how well you’ve planned your production layout in the zone. But once you succeed, even disasters themselves may be subdued by the light of hope.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Wishboard[/h3][p]The tower may be a spectacle for the post-apocalyptic world, but for your Towertizens it is home. Now there is a Wishboard, where Towertizens will leave their heartfelt wishes. By helping fulfill them, you may receive unexpected rewards.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Ritual Platform[/h3][p]Unlock and construct a Ritual Platform to hold a variety of rituals. Some can alter the weather, others can influence Towertizen states. As all rituals require resources to sustain, whether you use them for long-term buffs or short bursts is up to you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Trade [/h3][p]The EA version also introduces a trading system. Build the Turtle Port, and giant turtles from other towers will periodically dock. You’ll be able to trade goods for equal value based on your inventory.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]⚙️Are we seeing UI and tutorial improvements?[/h2][p]We’ve adjusted the default UI scaling and added an option in settings for manual scaling. Sandstorm and mist visuals have been fully reworked.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The tutorial has been redesigned in more detail, and the arrival of the first disaster has been delayed, giving new players more time to learn core mechanics and get comfortable.[/p][p][/p][h2]📍Will Demo saves carry over into the EA version?[/h2][p]As we mentioned previously:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The EA version will feel very different from the demo right from the start. So, if you’ve already completed the demo, don’t worry about having to replay the same flow. The new version will offer a fresh journey![/p][p]We’ll do our best to ensure save compatibility in future updates. If there are cases where saves cannot be carried over, we’ll inform everyone right away. Still, since the game may continue to add new features or have major balance adjustment, we always recommend starting fresh for the best experience.[/p][p][/p][h2]🙌What if I encounter issues in the game?[/h2][p]Please let us know! Suggestions or complaints, your feedback is always invaluable.[/p][p]You can leave comments on Steam or join our official Discord server and chat with other players. If you run into issues while playing, feel free to message our Mods directly.[/p][p][/p][h2]👉What are the System Requirements?[/h2][p]Recommended: GTX 2060 / 16GB RAM / 8GB available space[/p][p]Minimum: GTX 750 Ti / 4GB RAM / 4GB available space[/p][p][/p][h2]🔧Will there be Controller & Steam Deck Support?[/h2][p]The game currently does not support controllers or Steam Deck. We haven’t fully evaluated controller interaction yet, but if we plan to add support in the future, we’ll let you know immediately.[/p][p][/p][h2]💡What are the plans for V1.0?[/h2][p]Since the EA version already includes complete game progression, we don’t yet have a final decision on exactly what will be added in V1.0. But here are some ideas we’re considering:[/p]

• [p]A more open sandbox mode[/p]
• [p]New logistics buildings for more vertical transportation strategies[/p]
• [p]Statistics panels for easier resource and population tracking[/p]
• [p]More decorative elements to craft your own landmark tower[/p]
• [p]Further optimization in interaction and performance[/p]
• [p]…and more[/p]

[p]As said before, we believe Stario holds endless potential. We’re eager to hear your suggestions after launch, and we’re sure new sparks of inspiration will arise from our communication with you.
