Starsand Island to launch full version with multiplayer on August 18

Polish indie studio Seed Sparkle Lab announced that its tropical farming game Starsand Island will leave Early Access on 18 August with the 1.0 launch. The update adds online multiplayer for up to four players, allowing friends to farm, fish, build and explore the island together. The game, often compared to Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, has earned an 88 % positive rating on Steam and the studio says development will continue with further content after the full release.

The launch comes amid a busy month for Polish game developers. New titles slated for August include the diesel‑punk turret simulator Iron Nest, the myth‑inspired card‑roguelike Talespinner, the ranch‑life simulator Rancher, and the Car Wash Simulator, among others. These releases highlight the growing diversity of simulation and niche games emerging from Poland's game industry.
