'''Starfy 3D''' (Japanese: スタフィー3D) or '''Densetsu no Starfy 3D''' (Japanese: 伝説のスタフィー3D) is an unofficial [[The Legendary Starfy (series)|''Starfy'']] game created using the game creation system [[wikipedia:Unity (game engine)|Unity]]. The software "Blender" was used for modelling. The game was made by Niconico user [http://www.nicovideo.jp/user/4376819 Bean Jam]. It is still at a demo stage, and it is not known whether the game will be developed further, although Bean Jam stated that he is looking for someone to make the game together with.<ref>[http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm24152778 【Unity】スタフィーを3Dでつくってみた。Part2【伝説のスタフィー】 - see description]</ref>
 
On Niconico, footage from the game was uploaded in two parts, in three videos called '''[Unity] 3D Starfy creation attempt part 1 [Densetsu no Starfy]''', '''[Unity] 3D Starfy creation attempt part 2 [Densetsu no Starfy]''', '''[Unity] 3D Starfy creation attempt part 3 [Densetsu no Starfy]''', and '''[Unity] 3D Starfy creation attempt part 4 [Densetsu no Starfy]'''. The first part was uploaded on July 19, 2014. The second part was uploaded on August 3rd, 2014. The third part was uploaded on August 19th, 2014. The fourth part was uploaded on September 19, 2014.
 
In part 2, Bean Jam provided a link to [http://unitygameuploader.jpn.org/game/1755.html a playable demo] on UnityGameUploader, and a link to what may have been intended to be model files as well, but the link appears to be broken.
 
From September 10th 2014, Bean Jam started to upload the Niconico videos to Youtube on his channel [https://www.youtube.com/user/BeanJam16/videos BeanJam16].
 
==Playable demo==
A [http://unitygameuploader.jpn.org/game/1755.html playable demo] of the game is hosted on UnityGameUploader. To play it, UnityWebPlayer must be installed, but this can be installed from the same page the demo is hosted. Apparently, [[Starfy]] is designed to be 36cm tall, like he is described in [[Becky]], [[Saya Kazuki]] and [[℃-ute]]'s version of the [[Title Song (music)|series Title Song]].
 
===Version 1===
The game starts with no title screen, with [[Starfy]] on a checkered black and white floor. Near Starfy is a [[Winna]] that does not harm Starfy, and it is possible to move through it. When Starfy is in the air, the Winna will jump up to him, like in the [[Game Boy Advance]] games.
 
To the north, from west to east, there are marble colored 'steps', a yellow square with Starfy's face on, three of these squares on top of each other, a tall block and "Unity-chan" (Japanese: ユニティちゃん), who appears as a woman with long blonde hair, wearing blue and brown overwear, orange ear-like thread coming out of her hair, and orange and black checkered 'tights'. The woman is animated and occasionally blinks. Nearby here, there is a light-blue block that Starfy can roll by trying to [[Walk]] or [[Dash]] on it.
 
Further north, from west to east, there is a green and brown 'army' colored globe (but half of it is under the ground), a planet resembling Earth floating in the air that rotates, 'marble' colored platforms (called 'lifts') that move up and down, and slightly south of these; a 'marble' colored slope that Starfy can walk up.
 
North-east from the platforms there is a vast, mainly barren area of light-brown ground, grass, and some rocks. There seems to be nothing there, except for some mountains, but it is surrounded by water (east of the platforms) that Starfy can submerge in.
 
Starfy can go off the map boundaries and fall into the surrounding space to seemingly no return.
 
===Version 2===
White "Click to Start!" text was implemented into the demo for when the game starts or is paused. When the game is paused, there is white "Esc: Exit" text on the top-left corner of the screen. The lighting in this game seems to have changed; but whether the actual mechanics were changed is unclear. Starfy seems to be brighter, but the planet and the army colored globe seem to be darker.
 
The background is no longer a plain blue, and instead is a lighter blue with clouds. More 'Starfy face' blocks have been added west of the Starfy blocks in version 1, and for each pile from east to west the blocks are of a smaller stack. Additionally, the original pile of Starfy blocks is taller.
 
West of the globe is a huge field full of trees, with other plants. There is also tree bark on the floor that can be moved through, and a 'metal' moving platform in the field that can be stood on, which goes all the way back to the checkered floor area. A path of soil cuts through the middle of the field. The field is surrounded by a wall, and there are rocks beside it that Starfy can jump on. The wall can be climbed.
 
North west of the field is a beach, water, rocks, and a tunnel. One of the rocks (a big boulder) can be moved through, but not the others. Starfy can actually submerge himself in the water, where he may sink, but the player can make Starfy rise up by holding/repeatedly pressing space or stop sinking by walking around. Starfy can do a forward swim if the player holds down the right mouse button (normally used for gliding). Through the tunnel is an area of sand shaped like a circle, connected to the main area of sand through a submerged area.
 
Like version 1, it is possible for Starfy to go off the map boundaries and fall into the surrounding space to seemingly no return.
 
South from the starting area there are ten 2x2 blocks, one of which is a smaller light brown block inside a green block.
 
The east-most block is light brown, but is not to be confused with the smaller block. Seven of the other blocks are green and have missing faces. One of the blocks is textured like a dark brown, bumpy wall, but has missing faces like most of the other blocks. Two of the green blocks and the dark brown block appear to be in the air. It is possible to get trapped in the green blocks that seem to be in the air by moving through their missing face, because it blocks Starfy from the inside.
 
The west-most block is green, and west of it is a dark blue 'block face' floating in the air, that disappears from view when seen from above. West of it there is a blue block face that can only be seen from above, and Starfy can stand on it.
 
East of Unity-chan there is a huge rectangular area of water that Starfy can swim in.
 
===Version 3 (4?)===
#Music was added to the demo. The music was created by a program called [http://i2sm.numberware.net/briefOverview.php i2sm] that generates audio based on an image.
#Support for the first person perspective was added. The camera does not turn when Starfy Star Spins.
#A 'current' mechanic was added to water, like how some bodies of water have a current in the official ''Legendary Starfy'' games. Stream particles can be seen out of water too, acting as wind.
#Bubbles were added, though they may be hard to see.
#A door mechanic was added; said to be like "anywhere door" (this probably refers to [http://doraemon.wikia.com/wiki/Anywhere_Door the gadget] in [[wikipedia:Doraemon|Doraemon]]). Open doors let Starfy warp elsewhere in the map.
 
===Controls===
The controls are listed in Japanese on Bean Jam's site.<ref>[http://beanjam.mitarashidango.com/starfy3d.html 伝説のスタフィー3D - Bean Jam's site]</ref>
 
Below is a table of what the controls are in English:
 
{|
{| align=top style="background: #082567; -moz-border-radius: 0.5em; border: 5px solid #000000; color: black"
|-

{| border=1 width="100%" align=left class="sortable" style="background: aqua; border:1px solid #000000; border-collapse:collapse;"
|-style="background: #082567;"
!<font color=grey>Key(s)</font color>
!<font color=grey>Action</font color>
|-
|W, A, S, D

|-
|Left mouse button
|Makes Starfy do a [[Star Spin]]. Resumes the game when paused.<br>When combined with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys, it makes Starfy Dash.
|-
|Right mouse button
|Makes Starfy [[Glide]] (when held in the air).
|-
|Mouse movement
|Adjusts the camera. Moving the mouse down/up moves the camera up/down (respectively).<br>Moving the mouse left/right makes the camera move right/left (respectively).
|-
|Space
|Makes Starfy [[Jump]] or [[Air Jump]] while in the air.
|-
|Shift
|Makes Starfy [[Duck]] (glitchy) or [[Duck & Slide]] when Dashing. In version 2, it can be used to do a forward [[Swim]] while in water.
|-
|Escape
|Pause
|}
|}
 
It is possible to 'jump' while gliding, unlike in the official ''Legendary Starfy'' games. In version 1, doing this causes Starfy to rise while still gliding before coming back down. In version 2, though it is still possible to jump while gliding, Starfy is made to stop gliding after a jump.
 
In version 1 of the demo, somehow it is possible to keep moving while Ducking without doing a Duck & Slide. This is not confirmed in version 2.
 
==Bean Jam's future plans==
[[File:Starfy 3D HP concept art.png|thumb|right|400px|HP heart system concept art.]]
For his next version of the demo, Bean Jam plans on making blocks like in the official ''Legendary Starfy'' games, as well as a tree. He also wants to make a combat system based on the heart system, and made concept art for it.
