Starfall Catastrophe began with cards, characters, systems, and a growing world. As the project expanded, the order became clear: the story has to come first.
From now on, we are building the narrative spine before polishing every card or visual detail. Book I remains the complete digital prologue. Book II will be developed as a true continuation, with its characters, conflicts, and art growing out of the story rather than the other way around.
What changes
We will spend more time on character, consequence, mystery, and the moments that make the world worth following. Cards and mechanics will still matter, but they should preserve meaningful story moments instead of deciding the story in advance.
What stays
The work already done is not being discarded. Book I, the existing characters, the developing Book II world, the card archive, and the game remain part of Starfall. They now have a clearer hierarchy: the story is the spine; everything else grows from it.
The website is the bridge
This site will be updated as the story takes shape: chapters, character notes, visual studies, and development decisions worth sharing. Internal experiments will stay internal until they are ready to help the story.
Starfall is not stepping away from the card game. We are giving it a stronger foundation.
