An Important Note from the Dev — Starlathe Launches Tomorrow

Tomorrow, October 1, Starlathe launches in Early Access. A personal note from the solo developer on what that means, and how your feedback will shape the game.

Six More Languages, and Your Cargo Stays Yours

Six new languages, translated end to end. Polish headings now use the game's own typeface. And cargo you drop stays yours — no more faction drones helping themselves.

Starlathe Will Launch in Ten Languages

Starlathe now speaks English, Kurdish Sorani, Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese, Thai, both Spanishes and Brazilian Portuguese. You pick yours before the game even loads.
