Star-Twine is an abstract real-time strategy game in which you control a point of light created by a dying star. Battles unfold on sprawling three-dimensional maps as you collect energy and build structures to attack your opponent. Chill out to the atmospheric visuals and soundtrack as you plan your next move.
Star-Twine includes a single player campaign, skirmish mode, and multiplayer (online or LAN).
Star-Twine is a game of positioning and timing. Energy Nodes are used to collect resources, Turrets fire at the enemy, Black Holes absorb nearby projectiles, Sentinels stake out territory and Missile Launchers deal massive damage to an area. Through building these simple structures, many different strategies emerge.

It has been 5 years since the original release of Star-Twine, and 2 years since the Campaign Update, but today Star-Twine has finally made its way to Steam! To celebrate the release, Star-Twine is 15% off until December 7th.
All buyers on itch.io and IndieGameStand should receive Steam keys automatically.
The full list of changes in this version (v1.2.0) are below:
- Added support for Steam Achievements and Cloud Save.
- Added ability to invite a Steam friend to a game.
- Online play now uses Steam’s matchmaking servers which are more reliable than the previous implementation. Running the game outside of Steam will still use the non-Steam matchmaking server.
- Explosion particles now have a random rotation.
- Performance of post-processing is slightly better.
- Fixed gamma correction not working in windowed mode.
- Fixed a bug where the level could disappear after the window lost focus.

Hi. How about some pro-games? I'd like to play with all of you. Join me on skype agentfire_3.
It looks and sounds amazing. The only thing bad about it is that you cant buy a CD for it, meaning that if I have computer troubles and need to get a new computer then I have to buy it all over again since its illegal to copy any game you want to backup onto a CD.
The Desura version can be redownloaded at any time. Also, I really don't mind if you back it up onto a CD.
sadly as much as i want to play this i can't it keeps crashing on start up it opens for a second then closes
Hi, can you check if there is an Users\<you>\AppData\Star-Twine folder? (Or if you're on XP, it would be \Documents and Settings\<you>\Application Data\Star-Twine). If this folder exists, there should be a crash log inside; send me the contents and I'll look into it!
I played the demo and this game is amazing! I just wish I had somehow to buy games through the internet, the game has lots of potential.

very very very awesome game the concept,the game play ,the music. this is quite literally awesome. i'am mind blowen by it. but unfortuanetlly i can't buy the full version :<
the payment method used by desura isn't accessible here in egypt :< .srry guys i really REALLY wanted to support you :<
This is a great game. Stratagy is everywhere but in your face. It makes you think while being fun and enjoyable. The only problem is that I don't have $10.
This is the most unique game we have seen in a while, although for what game-play is available $9 is pretty high.
