Aloft News

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Ahoy, Sky Sailors! [/p][p]We are joining Steam’s Back to School Games Celebration from August 25th to September 1st, hosted by our friends at Mooncube Games! [/p][p]In both Aloft and in real life, the environment is precious - and we must maintain its balance. It’s up to us to cleanse and restore local ecosystems; to plant the seeds of new beginnings, nurture our wildlife, and exist in harmony with nature’s splendor. We’re proud to represent these values and even prouder of the rising stars dreaming of a brighter, greener future. [/p][p]Now’s a great time to hop in; the new Puzzles & Pyrologics update just released a couple months ago, letting you take your endless creativity to new heights. New resources, building pieces, upgrades, combat improvements, and much more await! [/p][p]Don’t forget, we partnered with Mooncube Games awhile back to bring you the Aloft & Spirit City: Lofi Sessions Bundle! By purchasing the bundle you’ll get 10% off both games, and if you already own one, the discount still applies to the other.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Gather your friends and build the floating village of your dreams - the sky’s the limit! [/p][p][/p][h2]Learn More: Back to School Games Celebration 2025 [/h2][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Ahoy Sky Sailors, 
[/p][p]Aloft is now 20% off until August 4 as part of the ChinaJoy Game Show, celebrated both here on Steam and at the physical venue in Shanghai.
[/p][p]If you live there or a fortuitous wind has brought you, swing by our booth at N1 Hall, CJE40!
[/p][p]In our most recent update, Puzzles & Pyrologics, we expanded the game with several new features, items, and improvements, such as the puzzle system and reworked combat. Our next update, which will bring a new world generation system, a progression revamp, new items, and much more, is progressing swimmingly!
[/p][p]We look forward to sharing even more as we approach its release! 
[/p][p]See you in the clouds! 🌥️[/p][p]
