A Message from Our CEO Jamie!
An update on the game and what's ahead!
Hello, StarFam!
My name is Jamie, and I’m the interim CEO at Star Stable Entertainment. I’m writing to you during a challenging time for all of us, when we have had to make the difficult decision to reduce our team. When I took this role, I knew there would be difficult decisions ahead. I had hoped we would never have to make one like this. I joined Star Stable because I care about the game and our players, and I want to be part of ensuring our journey continues for many years to come.
Following this decision, I believe now is the time to challenge not only the content we release, but also how we release it. Star Stable, at its core, will always be the fantasy equestrian game we all know and love, and as we approach our 800th update, I recognize that change is needed.
We hear the outcry for more to do in the game on a regular basis, fixing existing bugs, and putting too much emphasis on limited-time events. We have heard your sentiments and we wholeheartedly agree. We can and want to do much better. Building a deeper connection with the community and shortening the distance between player feedback and our development is one of my top priorities for the team, so be on the lookout for those initiatives going forward.
Starting early next year, updates will no longer come weekly, but at a pace that makes sense for the content and experiences we develop. You have all seen and felt the outcome of creating content quickly, under tight production timelines, and with little room to iterate.
We will soon share a follow-up article about what we envision focusing on for the game going forward, including more details about 2027. There is a long life still in front of Star Stable Online, but only if we focus on the core of what made it great to begin with.
This way of working and releasing will be new territory for us, but we know we’re not on this journey alone. You, our players, matter most, and we want Jorvik to continue being the place you call home. I ask for your patience and support as we go through these changes together, as I truly believe this is the fresh restart Star Stable Online needs.
