 In Starsand Island, players return to their childhood island to embark on a personal journey of healing, farming, fishing, raising animals, and forming bonds with quirky local characters. With extensive DIY building and customization, players can truly shape their dream getaway — and even invite friends to help craft their paradise together.

"We're so thrilled to launch the Kickstarter for Starsand Island and invite our community into the development process," said Richardo Wang, Game Producer at Seed Lab. "This is a project filled with heart, and with the support of fans, we can bring even more ideas to life — from new customization features to exciting multiplayer options."

"We've poured everything into creating a cozy world of comfort, creativity, and connection," added Golton Gao, Producer at Seed Lab. "With the community's help, we'll be able to build something truly special — a vibrant island where players can express themselves, explore freely, and find a sense of belonging."

Supporters of the Kickstarter can look forward to a wide range of rewards. Early backers at the $20 tier will receive a heartfelt thank-you from the developers, exclusive wallpapers, and a Steam key. At higher tiers, fans can gain early Alpha access, have their names included in the credits, and enjoy a digital soundtrack. Additional rewards include a beautifully crafted digital artbook, unique in-game items like an exclusive pet, custom skateboard and weapon skins, and a charming furniture blueprint to decorate their island homes. At premium levels, backers can secure exclusive character outfits, a custom in-game book design, the chance to become a fully realized in-game NPC, or even collaborate directly with the developers to name a brand-new Outer Island.

With its charming art style, deeply layered life simulation systems, and a heartfelt focus on comfort and self-expression, Starsand Island is positioned to become a new favorite for fans of cozy and creative games.
