Greetings scientists, we hope you’re having a wonderful week!
Starting today, Forever Skies is taking part in the WePlay Expo, China's largest gaming culture festival for indie and AAA games.
The event will be running between the 7th - 13th of November. You can check us and and whole bunch of other cool games there. Here's the full event link:
We know that there are less than two months left in 2022 and you’re all eagerly awaiting Early Access news. We will have some information here very soon, thank you so much for your patience!
As for now, we’re delighted to tell you that our Forever Skies demo is available again!! Thanks to your awesome feedback, the demo has returned with improvements made and additional accessibility options available.
Here are a few of the key updates we’ve made to the demo:
- The timer extended to 40 minutes in the open-world section. This is for players to get to grips with the building mechanics and see more of the world in Forever Skies.
- FOV Slide added due to players experiencing motion sickness with the default view.
- Mouse lag strength slider has been improved as players reported the last slider made little difference.
- Chinese localization added - we will be adding more languages soon.
In addition, next week we will be taking part in WePlay Expo, the most extensive indie game exhibition in China - more news to follow on this event!
These are just a few of the improvements, you can find the full change log list here - https://steamcommunity.com/app/1641960/discussions/0/3498761139325372687/
Expect more demo updates in the near future!
Have a great weekend! The Far From Home Team
DEMO AVAILABLE UNTIL OCTOBER 25TH
Greetings scientists,
We had a lot of fun participating in the Steam Next Fest last week! Thank you to everyone who tried our demo, left us feedback or gave us a shout-out on social media!
If you didn’t get a chance to try our short demo then good news! We will keep the demo up on our Steam page for the next two weeks until October 25th!
A request to anyone who played the Forever Skies demo and completed it
As we move into the final days of Steam Next Fest, we wanted collect feedback on what you thought about the demo. Please note, we are looking for your overall experince with the the demo. This is very valuable info as it will help influence the design of the fulll game. Therefore,
Please DON'T spend time typing out feedback releated to:
1. Unable to start / play the demo for technical reasons.
We are aware some people couldn't play due to technical issues. We are working on optimization for the full relase but also we have to have a cut off at some point. If your GPU or graphics card is 10+ years old there is not much we can do for you now. We also still haven't done any work for Steam Deck so it simply won't work there right now. We know this.
We know it's a pain for most people. But we had to put it in. It is not a feature of the full game and will not be added in any future demos we might do. So we hear you. Please move past it 😂
Thanks so much for taking the time to play our demo and leaving your thoughts. Much of how this game shapes up will be becasue of player feedback so it really means a lot to us.
So as part of our Steam Next Fest demo prep, we put together a recording of us plaything our little slice of Forever Skies.
We don't cover everything in the demo via our playthrough, so we of course highly recommend you play through it yourself if you want to see everything the demo has to offer.
Thanks to everyone who has gotten us this far and see you in the skies.

Thank you to everyone who has playtested Forever Skies over the last few days. We’ve had a lot of fun in the studio watching you post awesome screenshots & content. We've listened to what you like about the demo, your feedback on what would make it better and watched in awe as you thrive to break stuff as much as possible when hunting for bugs!
We appreciate all of the help the community has provided. Because of this, we have decided to end the closed playtest…..and in its place, we will be making the demo playable to all on Steam!
Starting today, we will be taking part in the Steam Next Fest! The demo will be live throughout the entirety of the event and expect a few dev streams too! (more details to follow)
We invite you to try the demo NOW! - http://steam.pm/app/1641960
If you guys have friends that you think would be interested in Forever Skies, let them know that they now have a chance to play!
Once again, we would like to thank you for your help over the last few days, our participation in Next Fest wouldn’t have been possible without your help!
