- Surface-Level Survival And Animal Bots: Sky Break - 26 October 2016
Sometimes, after a long day of complicated thoughts and more complicated games, I do appreciate a bit of simplicity. Games that take a formula and file it down to its barest parts, and just let you run through the mechanics. Sky Break might feel damned by such a description, but that’s how this open-islands-ish not-quite-survival game plays out for me. …
- Final Release ! - 21 October 2016
The final update is now here ! The game is now ready to leave the Early Access ! It focuses on a "boss" mecha, the limited ammo, the lost logbooks and many optimizations/fixes. There have been also a lot of adjustments in order to give you the smoother gameplay experience as possible. The boss mecha This mecha is different from the others. It is harder to destroy, it is stronger, and it uses special capacities. If you beat it, you will not be able to hack it, but you will be well rewarded. http://www.farskyinteractive.com/skybreak/assets/steam/update_v5_0_f1.jpg Limited ammo Starting from this update, standard ammunition will become an important part of the game. As it will become limited, engaging combat will not be as straightforward as before. Ammo can be either crafted or found inside lost chests. http://www.farskyinteractive.com/skybreak/assets/steam/update_v5_0_f2.jpg Lost logbook…

- Sky Break EA v4.1 - 11 July 2016
The v4.1 update is now available. It focuses on the controller support, the combat system and fixes. The combat system From your suggestions and some play testings, we realized that the combat system needed more depth, though without ading too much complexity. It also needed to be cleaned to avoid mechas going inside each other at a same spot during combat. Now the mechas own a shield (several shield bars actually). When it is hurt, only the shield is affected at first. If a shield bar goes to zero, the mecha is stunned for a few seconds and damage will affect its life. This mechanics also affects your mechas, but you can help them to retrieve their shield instantly. You blaster has been updated, there is no heat limitation anymore. You can charge your blaster and shoot a full charge that will have different effects depending on the mecha aimed: - if it is a hacked mecha in a stunned st…

- The Spaceship Update (EA v4.0) - 13 June 2016
The major update v4.0 is now available. It focuses on the spaceship, the ice biome, and the cure quest. The spaceship It is now possible to fix the spaceship of your friend found on the second island. Once fixed, you can use it but there is not enough fuel to leave the planet. You will need to find that fuel. You can navigate freely with your spaceship, however it is impossible to land in the tempest. Landing is only possible near weather controllers, station docks or on the sky station. It is mainly useful for fast traveling, but can also be used to winch boxes. Some assets such as the weather controller and the station dock have been updated to add a landing platform for the spaceship. Thanks to this feature, the world is now 3 times bigger. We made some modifications and adjustments to keep the game as enjoyable as when it was smaller. http://www.farskyinteractive.com/skybreak/assets…
