[h3]Greetings scientists…[/h3]

The 1.0 build is now available in our beta branch!!

As always, please remember that content on this branch is still experimental UNTIL it reaches our main build. We are actively working on the game, so some features/assets, texts, audio files, etc, might be missing or still in placeholder form.

[h2]HOW TO JOIN BETA[/h2]
If you want to know how to switch to our beta branch, follow this guide.

IMPORTANT - If you played on the beta after EA.1.7.0 (Co-op Update), you will not need to start a new beta save (although it helps to experience every new detail). However, if you haven't played your beta save since before EA.1.7.0, you will have no choice other than to start again.

[h2]NEW CONTENT FOR 1.0[/h2]

Biomes

Our world has now been divided into biomes. Before, our world was almost completely randomized. This caused a few issues, especially with progression through the game and obtaining upgrades.


By designing a couple of different biomes with specific locations, resources and visuals, we’ve created a more structured world, while still allowing for some procedural variety.

[h2]New Points-Of-Interest[/h2]

There are many new places to discover in 1.0. These range from large new locations to explore, like The Workshop, to smaller points of interest like Luciferin Plants. A small location in the Overgrown Ruins where you can land and gather a useful new resource.

[h2]Chapter 4 - The Final Chapter[/h2]

After acquiring the 1.0 Cure at the end of the current chapter, It’s finally time to take the cure back to the colony on board The Ark. Simple…right??


As always, we’ve included the changelog info so you can see every single thing that has been added, changed and fixed for 1.0. There are still some known issues which we’re in the process of fixing, which we listed below.

What we decide to work on following the full release will be based on a couple of things, but mostly the feedback we get from you, the community. That being said, we already have some ideas based on your suggestions on our Feature Upvote site.

Finally, before we go, we’re excited to announce that players will be able to get their first taste of the 1.0 update on March 25th when the update goes live on our beta branch (yes, this coming Tuesday!)

We can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the full release.



[h2]REMINDER: We're Re-setting Our Discount[/h2]
As a reminder, we’re currently 40% off till March 20th and this will be the last time the game will be discounted this deep for some time.

We also have 2 great bundles going with our friends from Aloft and Frostpunk 2 which give you an additional 10% off.

Forever Skies has been in development for just over 4 years, and we can’t believe we’re nearly at the 1.0 stage. Thank you to everyone reading, whether you’ve been following us since January 2022 when we first announced the project or whether you’ve only just discovered our little game. Thank you to each and every one of you.

Speak real soon.
