- Shiny Prizes Await, But Dare Ye Enter our Halloween Competition? - 25 October 2018
https://www.worldsadrift.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/921585764_preview_20170508013322_1.jpg Ahh Halloween, that blessed time of year when we have absolute carte blanche to add something decidedly spoopy (and only very loosely lore-tying) to Worlds Adrift. This time round? Thanks our latest update - the Pumpkin Patch - those with a nose for loot will be able to sniff out a pretty darn terrifying satanic goat mask (we, ahem, kid you not!), a Jack-o’-Lantern themed... um, lantern, a few time-limited potions, and last but not least, some black and orange material dyes! But what good is Halloween without at least one shoehorned (or should that be goat horned?) competition, eh?! Using the free Worlds Adrift Island Creator tool (shameless plug: each and every one of the 300 gorgeously intricate islands that make up the world of Foundation was made by a member of the community), we want you…

Not only does it mark the largest addition of new features (including cooking, expanded customisation and suction boots!) since Worlds Adrift launched into Early Access last May, but also introduces the long-requested PvE server, allowing for a more exploration-based style of play. But the best part of all? You can currently get 25% OFF Worlds Adrift right now! So what’re waiting for? The Marauder Rums are on us... *Hic!*

King of islands and God of Hats (Julia: Malford destroyed the hat economy on our last Hunt a Dev stream Recap: CLICKY). We originally built the Island Creator as an internal tool so we could build islands for Worlds Adrift, but after Tom made it excellent we decided to release it to the community. The islands you guys have made are one of the most amazing, impressive and beautiful things about our game and we’re forever grateful to our amazing community for that. The Island Creator is a great creative tool, and we love people having fun with it and making cool, creative stuff. As we use the community crafted islands to build our world we’ve been asked plenty of times what our criteria for choosing islands are by people keen to increase…

https://i.imgur.com/LD9TQzM.gif After four years of development, and a boatload of anticipation, the world’s first Community-Crafted MMO, Worlds Adrift, begins its journey into Early Access today!

Yes, ‘crafting’ plays a key element in the game, whether that’s building a better ship, forging a new alliance, or plotting out your next adventure, but it actually goes a lot deeper than that. In fact, look out to the horizon, and each and every island that scatters the skyline was crafted by a player, such as yourself, using our free Island Creator tool… and we just dropped another 300 of your amazing creations into game, with the recent release of 0.1.9. Today, we’d like to take the opportunity to celebrate that achievement. Correction: your achievement. You see, it wasn’t long into Worlds Adrift’s development when we decided against a procedurally generated environment, despite the fact tha…

- Introducing Kioki: A New Worlds Adrift Culture - 14 November 2017
An ancient civilisation has been unearthed in Worlds Adrift. Known as the Kioki, this diverse and affluent nation prided themselves on the artistry of architecture. It’s now up to you - the Founders - to ensure their ways aren’t forgotten once more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne01Kf2I2DM Kioki marks the second culture to be added to Worlds Adrift, and the differences between them and the Saborians couldn’t be more stark. A prosperous society, they favoured opulent surroundings, including brass domed roofs, intricate embellishments, and brightly coloured textures… not to mention, had a strange obsession with birds (you’ll see what we mean). In order to accommodate these architectural changes, we’ve introduced a few new updates to the Island Creator, such as the ability to snap certain pieces together. This means grand and magnificent dwellings (as the wealthy Kioki naturally favoure…

- Spooky Island Creator Competition - Happy Hallow-Win! - 30 October 2017
Un-chomp that apple. Step away from the pumpkin. And unwrap that roll of toilet paper from around your mate’s leg. Cos this Halloween, the competition* on everyone's cornflour and food colouring blood covered lips is our spooky Island Creator contest… and yes, there’s a scarily good prize up-for-grabs! The rules couldn’t be more straightforward. Simply submit a gothic-inspired design by midnight (Mwa-ha-haa!!) on the 5th November, making sure to title it: "Halloween Competition Entry: blah blah blah". And seriously, let your imagination run amok with this one! We’re talking dilapidated castles, balanced on decrepit juts of rock, surrounded by miles of desolate moorland; skeletal ruins, ravaged by the passages of time, that torturously stretch towards the nightsky; skull-shaped caverns that beckon weary travellers with eyes that… Well, you get the idea. Entries will be judged by our pane…

Travelers! First of all, thank you for your patience, we are glad to share that 0.0.6 is now live. On the menu, you’ll find that we redesigned the logical game progression. This new approach is closer to what we envisioned for Worlds Adrift. The world is now divided into Biomes. As such, you’ll find the first four Biomes: Wilderness, Expanse, Remnants, Badlands separated by natural weather barrier. Each biome will have its own loot, resources, schematics, rewards & secrets to discover. One of the totally new gameplay features we’ve added is cooking. Forage berries or use a campfire to cook meat, you’ll need to regenerate your health by eating. More changes come under the form of the revamped sky core. You now have one sky core per ship that you can upgrade. Having one sky core per ship will allow you to have more space to customize your ship. You can now climb any surface making it easi…
