V0.3 Lights in Clouds Preview | Airships Docking, Lights Illuminating the Clouds

Hi fellows!

We have some exciting news to share: V0.3 Lights in Clouds is just around the corner!

Our team has been working around the clock on development and testing, fueled by the hope of releasing this update before the Lunar New Year. Today, we’re finally ready to pull back the curtain and show you what’s coming in the new version.

👋 More Life in the Tower!

In this update, we’ve overhauled a massive number of Towertizens animations to bring more life to the tower’s daily routine.

Being Lanterning

Being Idle

Looking ahead, we also plan to introduce Work Uniforms. Towertizens assigned to different roles will soon have their own distinct outfits, making the tower's bustling economy even more visible at a glance.

✨ Entertainment Overhaul! The Ultimate Skyline Garden

In V0.3, the tower’s favorite pastimes—the Sky Wheel and the Jump Platform—are getting a total makeover.

The old wooden Jump Platform is officially retiring. Its replacement features a sleek metallic frame and a fully reinforced trampoline at the base.

We hope these "childhood classics" will help your Towertizens create even better memories in their new-and-improved forms.

As for the Sky Wheel, the original steel-only design was a bit too "industrial chic."

To make it a more welcoming spot in the sky, we’ve added a warm wooden base, decorative LED light strips, and a fresh coat of paint for every cabin.

You might notice something else in the screenshots: the residential buildings look a bit different too. That’s because we’ve added a new detail—Windows will now light up when Towertizens return home.

The apocalypse may be terrifying, but seeing the tower glowing with life gives us the courage to reclaim the glory of civilization.

We’re adding more material variety to Blocks. Whether it’s steel, enamel, cloth, gemstone, or marble, you’ll have a massive palette to build your spire. Every material has the potential to be the next brick in your tower!

🚢 New Logistics: The Airship Port

We previously teased the Airship Port and the expanded Tower Base here:

Airships are designed for long-distance, high-capacity cargo transport and can hover freely at various heights.

Additionally, both Airships and Balloon Stations will now feature an Integrated Management Tool. Through this new tool, you can manage logistics routes, rename stations, and assign resources more efficiently, giving you total control over your vertical empire.

💫 A Richer Atmosphere

In V0.3, the Tower Base will reflect the world's harsh reality by showing different environmental details based on your chosen difficulty mode.

Tower Base in Challenge mode:

While it won't make it into this specific patch, we’ve also started brainstorming for other atmospheric layers. For instance, we’re planning to introduce "Magical Creatures" into our world—keep an eye out for dolphins joining the high-altitude ecosystem!

This is still in the early design phase, so if you have any cool ideas, we’d love to hear them in the comments!


That’s all for today’s preview! We’re confident the new version will be in your hands very soon.
