Removed the Wishlist pop-up when players were exiting the game
Non-English localization should now show the correct localized string OR the correct english string if it is not localized yet
Unhealthy islands will not require more than one animal
Teleporting animal homes will spawn them higher than normal, meaning they should not clip in the ground as much. We will improve that feature in the future
We’ll have a new patch out shortly to fix other pressing issues.
Thank you for your patience!
Aloft Is Out Now in Early Access! 🌀
Ahoy, Sky Sailors!
We are so happy to finally announce that Aloft is now released in Early Access.
The current state of Aloft offers a solid first look into its 3 different biomes, building and crafting with hundreds of different building pieces and decorations, combat mechanics against a range of enemy types, farming, cooking, and much more!
Fly forth, Sky Sailors! Choose the perfect floating island, transform it into your personal skyship, and explore a world shaped by the winds. Play by yourself in your own single-player world, or in groups of up to 8 in multiplayer. Whatever floats your island!
Before we forget, we also decided to collaborate with our indie siblings at Airborne Empire and Foundation for two Steam bundles. If you’d like to get Aloft alongside either of these games with a 10% discount, please have a look at their respective bundles and tell them we said hi! If you already own either of these games, you can still grab Aloft with a discount.
We can’t wait to grow Aloft with all of you by our side, throughout this Early Access period. So please, explore the skies, uncover lost knowledge, heal the ecosystems, and don’t hesitate to drop us your feedback using the in-game bug report tool.
This is only the beginning. Thank you for believing in us and being a part of our journey.
See you in the clouds!
Launch Week - Steam Page Streamers! 🤩
Ahoy, Sky Sailors!
🎉 We're bringing the community together with a sky-high lineup of content creators on our Steam page all throughout launch week!
📅 Check out the schedule below and join us for exciting gameplay, creative builds, and unforgettable moments from your favourite creators.
Aloft is launching tomorrow, and we are just as excited as you are to explore the skies! Since we are releasing Aloft as an Early Access title, we want to be transparent with what you can expect from us this year. Our goal is to build Aloft together and make it the best version of itself.
First things first, resolving in-game issues and optimization will be our top priority. We know adding new things won’t matter as much if the game isn't running as smoothly as it should. So, fret not, we will be on that non-stop.
For everything else on the way, check out our roadmap below:
But of course, this is only the beginning. We're planning other big things for Aloft, but we’ll announce those when the time is right. We also want to maintain a bit of flexibility and adjust our priorities according to community feedback!
Until then, Aloft is yours to explore—soar solo or adventure with friends, whatever floats your skyship! We can't wait to hear your feedback, witness your creativity, and see you forge unforgettable moments together.
You can use the in-game bug report tool if you’d like to share feedback or report bugs that you encounter in Aloft. You can also join our Discord server and use the relevant channels to drop your bug reports or feedback. Join the community, meet other Sky Sailors, and have fun!
Thank you for playing Aloft in Early Access. We’ll see you in the clouds!
