Developer Comment

For most of its development, the game was a side project of a single person alongside a full-time job. It initially started as a simple, low-poly third-person exploration game, but the scope gradually expanded. Over time, we added features inspired by games we love, such as Zelda, The Witcher, The Pirates, and more and also upgraded the visuals by adding more detailed models, textures, grass, and other elements.

Currently, our team consists of two members—a developer (programmer, modeler, artist, animator, technical artist and everything else) and a level designer. Additionally, several contributors have helped with specific tasks, such as modeling (basic shape of the islands, airships, clothing, etc.) and UI design (initial interface, logo, etc.).

At present, we are balancing various aspects of development with minimal team, including modeling, animation, content creation, quest design, level building, bug fixing and so on, so the progress is a bit slow. Most of the core game mechanics are implemented but still require significant polishing. Some mechanics, such as the climbing, day-night cycle, world events, world economy, enemy forts, and split-screen co-op, are nearly complete but have been temporarily excluded from the demo to keep complexity manageable. We would also like at add more menagement mechanics to make the game more interesting for two players (like airship modifications/management, base building, base defense, active/pasive income, encounters, ...).

The demo contains only the essential content needed for gameplay. Basic idea of main quests exist along with several side quests and autogenerated quests (contracts). AI behavior is still basic, enemies aren’t very smart, characters can walk on nearly vertical surfaces, enemy airships may collide mid-air and then spin around, boarding enemy ships is still a bit rought, some animations are missing, gamepad support is limited, not happy with the terrain, optimisation is still under way and so on.

We plan to update the demo regularly with new features as they are developed, along with enough content to ensure an enjoyable experience - even for players who aren’t interested in purchasing the full game.
