Free Content Update 3 for Star Garden: The Trial Now Released!

Hi everyone!

We have BREAKING NEWS! A free content update just dropped for the Star Garden: The Trial demo on Steam!

By clicking to view this video, you agree to YouTube's Privacy Policy.

StaRide mode is now in the demo! This is Star Garden's racing mode, where you can race against your friends on different tracks, both locally and online. The demo includes the first track, Lumi Meadows.

You can also set a race as the Finale of a CosmiClash match. Normally, a CosmiClash match ends with a fight in the Cosmic Tempest. Now, you can replace that with a race instead. Your Lumi keeps all the stats and the evolved vehicle form it gained during the match, so everything you built up still carries over to the race.

Just like in CosmiClash, random events can pop up mid-race, and some tracks have shortcuts that favor different Lumi, so there's real strategy in which one you bring.

This wraps up our planned free content updates to The Trial! We may still release balance patches and other smaller updates to the demo down the road, but our main focus now shifts to finishing the full game.

Everything we added to the demo is also going into the full game. So none of this was extra work. It was all progress on the final product too.

Also, on a related note, to those of you who backed us at the beta tester tiers, thank you! We'll have more to share about how beta access will work soon. In the meantime, we hope The Trial keeps you busy.

Please wishlist Star Garden on Steam if you haven't yet. Thank you so much for your support!
