First Demo Update - Database Stability & Performance

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p][/p][p]I'm Wil, one of the devs behind Hope: A Sky Full of Ghosts. First off, thank you to everyone who downloaded and played the demo so far! Over 600 of you already added it to your libraries and we’re overwhelmed with gratitude. 💛[/p][p][/p][p]This first update addresses some database stability issues that were causing the game to crash, especially during longer play sessions. After digging deep into the logs (shoutout to Ditiem for sending us the crash report!), we discovered the issue was the way our game was managing database connections under the hood. [/p][p][/p][p]We refactored our database layer with better resource management, improved error handling, and better transaction safety. It’s a behind-the-scenes fix, so it should be seamless for you all but we wanted to ship this first patch quickly to make the experience smoother for everyone and lay a more robust foundation for what is to come.[/p][p][/p][p]Download the update now and let us know if you face this issue again![/p][p][/p][p]We're still actively collecting feedback on the demo content itself, so keep those comments coming. Every piece of feedback helps shape Hope: A Sky Full of Ghosts into the game we all want it to be![/p][p][/p][p]If you enjoyed the demo, please leave a review, it helps us a lot![/p][p][/p][p]Fly free![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p]

7 Days for Lift Off!

[p]Hello Crew, [/p][p][/p][p]Azrael here with a little update.[/p][p][/p][p]As the demo launch approaches, we have been sending out keys to a select few and playtesting it like there's no tomorrow. And well, we've found a few things that needed fixing.[/p][p][/p][p]That's all part of the process. From visual bugs to incoherent behaviours, we have it all. And most importantly, we are fixing it all. And when I say "we", I mean "Wil" ːsteammockingː, our master coder![/p][p][/p][p]If you have come across a bug during your advance preview (or at any point), we'd love to know about it. You can report it here: https://discord.gg/93VkPCaTaT[/p][p][/p][p]I, on the other hand, have been working on a new trailer with a single call to action "Play Demo Now."[/p][p][/p][p]We are excited for you to jump aboard our stolen ship and meet the crew on June 30, 2025.[/p][p][/p][p]And if you are reading this and haven't added Hope: A Sky Full of Ghosts to your Wishlist, it would mean the world if you did.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Fly Free.[/p][p][/p][p]Azrael[/p]

Demo Approaches at FTL Speed!

Hello Crew!

We are excited to announce the launch of our demo. I won't bury the lead:

Launch Demo date: June 30, 2025!


If you want to know more about the demo, here's a sliver of a preview.

Our demo comprises the first "chapter" of the story of Hope: A Sky Full of Ghosts. There are a few story items that you will only discover in the full game, though 😉. There's still plenty we don't want to spoil just yet.

On it, you will meet your crew and steal the ship you will share with them.

If you haven't, please Wishlist it now!

Fly Free,
