On July 26th, 2014, Dubble Scoop editor Toodlepip had announced that the game will no longer be made playable. The main reason for its closure is due to the lack of money needed to run this site. An event leading to the shutdown was hosted for players to upload any screenshots, videos, fanart, and other forms of medium that would be placed inside the memory capsule.[3] After the announcement was made, the game was finally closed for good on the midnight of July 31st.[4]
With the game's existence having mostly fallen into obscurity, no known build of the game has resurfaced anywhere, and all of its assets were never preserved. However, outside of screenshots and videos, all that was left of it are some official music, as well as a huge majority of songs that were made by various players. However, another game by Drumleaf, Universe City, seemed to have borrowed a lot of assets from Star86, but the game itself was probably never released.[5] outside of screenshots and its core aspect involving taking jobs such as a doctor and astronaut, little is known about it.
