Worlds Adrift Island Creator News

Join the Worlds Adrift team and a group of brave explorers as we soar up to 150ft in the air for an exciting launch day stream from 12pm - 6pm BST... on the deck of a sky ship brought to life!

In a World’s first (the real world that is), Bossa and friends will be celebrating the launch of Worlds Adrift by streaming the game suspended high over the beautiful London skyline.
Coming out of Closed Beta, Worlds Adrift launches into Early Access and begins a new chapter in its story.

Worlds Adrift is a Community-Crafted MMO, but what exactly does that mean? Yes, ‘crafting’ plays a key element in the game, whether that’s building a better ship, forging a new alliance, or plotting out your next adventure, but it actually goes a lot deeper than that. In fact, look out to the horizon, and each and every island that scatters the skyline was crafted by a player, such as yourself, using our free Island Creator tool… and we just dropped another 300 of your amazing creations into game, with the recent release of 0.1.9.

Today, we’d like to take the opportunity to celebrate that achievement. Correction: your achievement.

You see, it wasn’t long into Worlds Adrift’s development when we decided against a procedurally generated environment, despite the fact that then, it was the up and coming thing (good call, right?). We knew that our community would craft a much more engaging and dynamic world. And two years later – and over a 1000 islands in – it turns out we were absolutely bang-on.

So, more about those 300 new islands…

Last week, Worlds Adrift updated to 0.1.9, which not only brought with it all-new traps, an improved ship dome, enhanced atmospherics, and the usual smorgasbord of bug fixes and tweaks, but also…

“A WHOOOLE NEW WOOORLD!”

And yes, you were totally meant to sing that in your head (if not out loud from the rooftops). Needless to say, we were literally blown away by the scope of your imaginations, and quality of your designs. We’re talking crumbling ruins, teeming jungles, monolithic cathedrals, long abandoned megacomplexes… In fact, we were so impressed that not only have we started a new Instagram page showcasing your designs (link here), but also put together the short video below to officially applaud your efforts!

But we’re Bossa, right? Which means we’re always looking above and beyond, so we’re already setting our sights on the next humongous world update. But we won’t do it without your help (Community-Crafted, remember?). So why not download our free island creator tool today, and discover what your world would look like! The sky’s literally the limit, right? *cringe*

See you in the skies!

An ancient civilisation has been unearthed in Worlds Adrift. Known as the Kioki, this diverse and affluent nation prided themselves on the artistry of architecture. It’s now up to you - the Founders - to ensure their ways aren’t forgotten once more.

Kioki marks the second culture to be added to Worlds Adrift, and the differences between them and the Saborians couldn’t be more stark. A prosperous society, they favoured opulent surroundings, including brass domed roofs, intricate embellishments, and brightly coloured textures… not to mention, had a strange obsession with birds (you’ll see what we mean).

In order to accommodate these architectural changes, we’ve introduced a few new updates to the Island Creator, such as the ability to snap certain pieces together. This means grand and magnificent dwellings (as the wealthy Kioki naturally favoured), can now be constructed at a much faster rate. What’s more, because of the Kioki’s fondness for colour, their murals are multi-colored wall paintings rather than carvings like those of the Saborians, allowing for even more elaborate arrangements.



So, when can we actually start exploring Kioki-styled islands, I hear you ask? Well, the Kioki islands will occupy their own regions in the Worlds Adrift skies, so we’ll need a sufficient number of islands to populate them.

The Kioki update is available now, and equates to approximately 450 new pieces to play around with in the updated Island Creator tool: we’re talking new chests, turrets, statues, lights, doorways, wall, windows, and… well, you get the idea. So what’re you waiting for? Create your new island now, and let’s get the Kioki biome populated as quickly as possible.

We can't wait to see what you Creators come up with!
