- Update 1.2 Released! - 5 November 2019
The WARP feature was developed based on user feedback and as you might notice is a fairly standard feature now in a lot of rogue-lite / roguelike games. The pacing of Sky Rogue's gameplay is not as fast as certain other rogue-lites, so the time spent playing through Days 1-4 for the umpteenth time (for example) just to get to missions that match your skill level wasn't trivial. We hope this makes the game much more replayable for longtime as well as new players. Please tell us if you think the tech point cost is balanced correctly; longtime players probably have a huge bank of them and won't have any trouble, but it's harder for us to get opinions from new players still researching techs, when the price will have some meaning to it. Changelog: ===================================== NEW STUFF: - WARP MENU: If you have reached a new island biome (Day 5 or beyond), you can now spend tech po…
- 1.1.6 Released! - 24 May 2019

You may have to set your control bindings again, sorry for the inconvenience, but now they are saved along with all the other save data on the Steam Cloud. v 1.1.6 Changelog: CHANGES: - You may need to rebind your controls if you are not using defaults; custom control bindings were being saved to the Windows registry (and other places on other platforms). They are now stored in PlayerProfile.sav so that they are preserved by Steam Cloud. - Swing-wing aeros are now available for use in custom missions: "Aeroplane_kirin" "Aeroplane_kirin_ace" "Aeroplane_raiju" "Aeroplane_raiju_ace" "Aeroplane_oni" - Landing is done with the button bound to "UISubmit" instead of the one bound to "Target". This should help if you h…

NEW STUFF: - TORPEDO "Partisan" Aerotorpedo - Heavier, more accurate version of the heavy rocket CHANGES: - You can change your loadout when landing on the carrier - Hitpoints for most large buildings and airships halved to make interceptors more generally useful - Reduced damage of most air-to-ground weapons slightly, but not as much as the hitpoint tweak, so they effectively do more damage - Landing at a ground base costs half as much as on the carrier, but you can't change your loadout - AGM-MIRV given its own model - Added critical hit points to large buildings that were lacking them FIXES: - "Phyrrus" and "Auger In" achievements are working again - Landing a second time during a mission would force you to fly over the landing zone rather than use the button prompt
