Ahoy Adventurers, These last few months have been an unexpected whirlwind of events, but I suppose we don't call it the 'Wild Sky' for nothing! We know it's been quiet from our end lately, but there are a lot of new and exciting things happening behind the scenes. While we’ve been hard at work charting the course ahead, we have also been keeping a close eye on all of your comments and questions. While it's still a little too early to reveal everything, we're excited to share

Ahoy Adventurers! We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who played the demo and helped it become one of the most played demos during Nextfest, reaching over 400,000 wishlists! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Seeing this level of excitement is both humbling and incredibly motivating. As we continue developing the game, we want to take a moment to share what this project means to our team. We believe the best games grow alongside their communities and

Ahoy Explorers! Ghost building is now in! We’ve been hard at work rethinking our core building system and today we want to share a big change that’s all about creative freedom and smoother building.

Hey folks, We’ve been working on the airship sailing systems in the game and wanted to share where it’s at and hear what you think. Our goal was to make sailing feel like more than just pointing your ship and setting off. In the game, wind direction actually matters. When the wind is at your back or your sides, you generally want to deploy all of your sails if you want to sail at max speeds. Lowering your sails will of course slow you down, but you can manage your speed based

It’s only been 3 months since we announced Guardians Of The Wild Sky and… we just crossed 100,000 wishlists on Steam! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Seeing this kind of excitement from all of you is both humbling and incredibly motivating. Every wishlist, every comment, every bit of support fuels us to keep pushing, refining, and giving this project everything we’ve got. To celebrate, we decided to go surfing! We're a small (but veteran) self-funded studio; we don'

Hey everyone, We’re excited to share some big news about the game: our soundtrack is being composed by Andreas Waldetoft! If you’ve played titles like Crusader Kings II & III, Stellaris, Hearts of Iron IV, Europa Universalis IV and more, you’ve already heard his incredible work. All of us at the studio have been fans of Andreas' work for a long time so it's been pretty awesome getting to collaborate with him. From the very first sketches, Andreas really captured the tone and

Hi everyone, We’ve just reached another exciting milestone following our closed playtests and we’re thrilled to share what we’ve learned and what’s coming next. Over the past few weeks, it’s been incredible watching how players engage with the world and interact with the game’s core systems. We are still learning something new from each playtest, and as we continue development we will gradually open this up to a wider group of players. Before we get into more details, we’re e
