Forever Skies News

Hello Scientists.

We’ve prepared a video to showcase one of the many systems we’ve been finalising over the last few months as we get closer to release of Early Access. We are planning to release a few more of these videos but for now, here is a run down of our Research Station.

Also, for those who haven't seen, our Backers Edition on Kickstarter has reached 100% so if you were one of the supporters who helped us reach this goal,

The campaign is still running for another 24 days so if you are interested in getting the game with a few extra personal bonuses, you still have time. Anyway, onto the Research Station.

[h3]THE RESEARCH STATION[/h3]

The Research Station system plays a key role in the overall gameplay of Forever Skies. It allows players to unlock advanced technologies that will help them overcome the challenges of the game and achieve their objectives.

Watch the full video below:

At its core, the Research Station system is all about collecting blueprints for new tools, devices, airship modules, and more. You will unlock these blueprints by scanning resources you find in the world, such as electrical components, helium canisters, copper, and much more. Each new item that you scan will unlock specific blueprints.



Your PDA keeps track of what materials you need to scan to unlock further blueprints, which materials you’ve already scanned and in what location or biome the items can possibly be found. For example, some materials like glass can be found in multiple locations, but items like helium canisters can only be found at Wind Farms. Consider the Research tab on your PDA as a secondary quest log, to assist you in progressing in the game.

To research the blueprints for advanced technology, you must collect samples of the components needed and place them into the Research Station. Your research progress is shown by the progress bar under each blueprint and the colour of the text.

🔴 Red - You have NONE of the required components.
⚪️ White - You have SOME of the required components
🟢Green - You have ALL the components needed to complete the research.

Once the research is finished, the blueprint is unlocked, and the advanced technology is available to craft.



The Research Station system allows players to craft their own experience in the game. If you wish to focus on exploration, then use the station to research new tools that will help you better navigate and survive in the world. If they want to customise your base, you can research new modules that will help you build and expand their airship. And if you wish to focus on survival, you can research new and better devices for obtaining food and water.



When we announced the changed release window back in November, we mentioned that “The Scientific Approach To Survival” was one of the areas we were expanding for the start of Early Access and The Research Station plays a part in that.

Greetings scientists!

Today is the day, we’re excited to announce that the Backers Edition campaign is now live and available to all!

[h2]FRIENDLY REMINDER: FOREVER SKIES EARLY ACCESS IS FULLY FUNDED. THIS CAMPAIGN IS ONLY TO ADD SPECIAL BONUS REWARDS[/h2]

There are multiple tiers that players can choose from, with various goodies available if you wish to become a backer! We also did our best to ensure no matter what tier you back to get the game, you will always get something special in-game.

Similarly, we decided that all backers who get the game, no matter what tier, will be getting the game a few days early to play once we launch Early Access.

Check out the full details of the campaign here:



We appreciate any bit of sharing among your friends who you think might be keen on our little slice of sci-fi survival.

Speak soon!

Greetings scientists,

We’re happy to announce that we have created a special Backer's Edition of Forever Skies that we will make available to everyone through Kickstarter in the next few days.

[h2]PLEASE NOTE: FOREVER SKIES EARLY ACCESS IS FULLY FUNDED. THIS CAMPAIGN IS ONLY TO ADD SPECIAL BONUS REWARDS. [/h2]

Regardless of the campaign outcome, the game will still be delivered as promised. This campaign is just our way of answering those who want to support us now and get something extra in return.

Since revealing Forever Skies, some members of our community have regularly been asking:

1. Is there a way to buy the game now and support the studio?
2. Can we get any sort of special bonuses for supporting before release?

After looking at numerous options, we saw that by doing this through a crowdfunding platform such as Kickstarter, we can easily and safely allow people to support the game and let us create various options to pick from. We understand that crowdfunding is normally associated with the idea of “We need your help to get this game made”. In our case, we simply needed an existing and trusted platform that would allow us to do a Backers Editions with a lot more flexibility.

We will be launching our campaign in the next few days which is when we will share details about rewards, prices etc. In the meantime, you can hit the follow button on our “Coming Soon” page and you’ll get notified once we are live🔗Click here.

Have a great day!
