Hello Scientists
A quick round-up of some things we want to share.
- We added a small content patch for you
- The game is currently on sale for 20% off
- First look at things we’re working on for our next big update
Small Content Update and Next Patch ETA.
For those with a keen eye, we did a very small patch to the game. This was originally meant to be a standard patch with a few quality-of-life updates, bug fixes, and some additional in-game posters added-in to wrap it all up.
However, our eagle-eyed QA team caught a few instances of something that might impact a few players with more advanced airship builds. So it was decided to run more tests before committing the fixes, but because we already had these posters ready, we thought we might as well put them into the game. It’s a quick and easy thing to add so no point waiting.
So there are now 10 additional posters that will randomly spawn into locations for you to find and spruce up your little home above the toxic dust. Here is a look at 3 so as not to spoil all the fun.
Each poster is an artifact from before the total environmental collapse of Earth but at different points in the timeline. Isn’t it reassuring to know that even as we raced towards environmental collapse, we as a species were still trying to sell each other printers? Bliss!
The bug and quality of life fixes we had planned for this patch will likely come in the next few weeks, if not sooner so we’ll be sure to let you know when it’s on our test branch and when it will be added to the main game.
So the most up-to-date Steam build number now is EA1.1.0 (#22725)

A Peek at What is Coming Up Next
On top of the next bug-fixing patch, our team is working hard on our next bigger update planned to be released sometime in October. The main theme around this update is “Threats and Viruses” where we’re aiming to introduce a few elements that make the world a little more dangerous and hostile.
From aggressive creatures to more viral infections along with effective countermeasures to deal with them. On top of this, there will be additional new locations and devices to add to your airship. In the meantime, here’s a look at some work-in-progress screens and concept art.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading and see you in the skies.
