Update: December 20, 2025 - Core Gameplay Fully Implemented! Harvest Stars · Cross the River · Deliver Hope
Hello everyone! We’re thrilled to announce that Herding of Stars has reached its most important milestone — the core gameplay is now fully complete!In this major update, we’ve brought to life the heart and soul of the game: a touching, meaningful loop. Core Gameplay Highlights:Harvest Stars from the Sky: Players freely soar through a vast starry pasture, using natural hand gestures to pluck twinkling stars. Each star represents a unique light and hope, accompanied by soft visual effects and healing sound design for an deeply immersive experience.
Help Those Crossing the River: At the “Star River Crossing” scene, players gently toss collected stars onto the dark river surface. When a star lands, it blooms into warm light, forming a safe “path of light” that guides lost travelers step by step to the other shore. Moments of Delivering Hope: Every time you successfully help a traveler, they look up to thank you and share a brief, heartfelt story snippet. A real-time counter tracks the number of people you’ve saved, letting you witness how your kindness gradually changes the world. Mixed Reality Foundation Laid: We’ve prepared the groundwork for Passthrough mode, with future plans to blend your real-world living room into the starry pasture—truly bringing hope into reality.
This gameplay delivers not only relaxing and soothing interactions but also a profound emotional message: anyone can become a guiding light for others. We believe that on Meta Horizon OS, this gesture-driven, poetic experience will offer players a one-of-a-kind heartfelt journey.A huge thank you to the Meta Horizon Start Developer Competition for the inspiration and support! This stage gave us the courage to fully realize this warm and creative vision.Next, we’ll continue polishing visuals, audio, and additional levels to deliver an even more complete demo before submission!We welcome everyone to try it out and share your valuable feedback — every word of encouragement fuels us to keep harvesting stars!
