The Starry Sky startup screen was complained that it was too simple, and Bethesda defended it
CTOnews.com, August 21 (Xinhua) Starry Sky is a sci-fi role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and is highly anticipated by players. However, before the game was about to be released, some media and industry insiders got the game in advance and began to experience this masterpiece of cosmic adventure. Recently, however, a new topic has emerged on the Internet, that is, the start-up screen of the game.
Mark Kern, a game developer who once worked at Blizzard, posted a screenshot of the Starry Starry launch screen and menu interface on X (formerly Twitter). He expressed dissatisfaction with the minimalist design, saying that "Starry Sky's startup screen is either because the development team is forced to rush to work, or because they don't care." He also added in a second post that usually the startup screen of the game is made "in the final stages of development." "teams with pride will want to show a good image, so they usually redo these things before the game goes online," he said. "
Although many games don't make startup screens until the end of development, Pete Hines, head of publishing at Bethesda Software, makes it clear that Starry Starry's startup screen is not the case, saying in his X post, "maybe they designed what they wanted, which has been our menu for years and one of the first things we identified." Hines also expressed dissatisfaction with Kern's question about whether Star developers care about the game launch screen, saying, "it's one thing to have your own opinion, because you will question the developer's degree of 'care' when you do something different, which is very unprofessional for another 'developer'."
CTOnews.com noted that the Starry Sky Xbox and Windows store versions have been preloaded, and the Steam PC version will follow on August 30. Players who buy the premium version can start playing the game on September 1, while the standard version will have to wait until September 6. On the same day, the game will also be launched on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
