Our demo is live for the event and will stay up after with those changes we talked about in the last post. But as a reminder:

✅ The timer extended to 40 minutes in the open-world section.

✅ FOV Slide added due to players experiencing motion sickness with the default view.

✅ Mouse lag strength slider has been improved as players reported the last slider made little difference

Full list of changes are here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1641960/discussions/0/3498761139325372687/?snr=1_5_9_

All the best!

Greetings lone scientists,

We know that there are less than two months left in 2022 and you’re all eagerly awaiting Early Access news. We will have some information here very soon, thank you so much for your patience!

As for now, we’re delighted to tell you that our Forever Skies demo is available again!! Thanks to your awesome feedback, the demo has returned with improvements made and additional accessibility options available.

Here are a few of the key updates we’ve made to the demo:

- The timer extended to 40 minutes in the open-world section. This is for players to get to grips with the building mechanics and see more of the world in Forever Skies.

- FOV Slide added due to players experiencing motion sickness with the default view.

- Mouse lag strength slider has been improved as players reported the last slider made little difference.

- Chinese localization added - we will be adding more languages soon.

In addition, next week we will be taking part in WePlay Expo, the most extensive indie game exhibition in China - more news to follow on this event!

These are just a few of the improvements, you can find the full change log list here - https://steamcommunity.com/app/1641960/discussions/0/3498761139325372687/

My favorite part of any game is when I get to do something I've never done in a game before. So here I am, standing on the edge of the blimp that serves as my mobile base, using a small crane to lower a cable down into the toxic clouds below, then reeling it back in to see I've caught a giant moth the size of a seagull...

[h2]A request to anyone who played the Forever Skies demo and completed it[/h2]



As we move into the final days of Steam Next Fest, we wanted collect feedback on what you thought about the demo. Please note, we are looking for your overall experince with the the demo. This is very valuable info as it will help influence the design of the fulll game. Therefore,



[h2]1. Unable to start / play the demo for technical reasons.[/h2]
We are aware some people couldn't play due to technical issues. We are working on optimization for the full relase but also we have to have a cut off at some point. If your GPU or graphics card is 10+ years old there is not much we can do for you now. We also still haven't done any work for Steam Deck so it simply won't work there right now. We know this.

For technical issues submit here: https://www.farfromhomegames.com/en/playtests

[h2]2. The 20 min demo timer.[/h2]
We know it's a pain for most people. But we had to put it in. It is not a feature of the full game and will not be added in any future demos we might do. So we hear you. Please move past it 😂
