Thanks for all the support you have shown us over the last 48 hours since launch. We have been keeping ourselves busy with the development while you guys have been testing over 70,000 ski lifts, jumps and bridges at the time of writing.. with a 13% success rate.. Poor skiers!

Carried Away Release Announcement!
After over a year of tinkering, mountain building and skier maiming, the day has arrived to get Carried Away in this physics sandbox.
Join the community and have a say in what features are added first!
Carried Away will be released at 15:00 GMT.
Carried Away Release Date: 4th of October!
We are very excited to say that Carried Away will be released on Wednesday the 4th of October!
We have just put the final touches on the release build and are already well on our way to the first major content patch. As promised in our last post, here are 2 gifs of previously undisclosed features that you will get on release day:
Multi stage levels: Choose the lifts & their locations for the most efficient or entertaining route
Skier control: Use WASD to give your skier that extra bit of style as they cruise through the levels.
It's not long to wait. We hope you are just as excited as we are!

Not long until release!
Hi everyone,
With the release of Carried Away just around the corner, I want to get the snowball rolling by telling you what you can expect from day one in Early Access, and what we will be working on in the months following release.
With chairlifts, drag lifts, gondolas, bridges and jumps already implemented, there is plenty of variety across the 40+ campaign levels and 3 different mountains! There is an additional tutorial mountain where you can learn the ropes. We estimate that this will provide around 5-8 hours of gameplay for the average lift builder, but plenty more if you’re trying to top every scoreboard!
But that’s just the beginning, the sandbox will be available on release day, allowing you to create and share your own slopes, ridiculous constructions and audacious replays. Our growing and active Discord community is already doing all of this, so there should be plenty of community created content to check out straight away!
We will be aiming for a content patch every 4- 6 weeks after release, adding another mountain with around 10 to 14 levels each time. To keep things as fresh as the mountain breeze, we will be adding new physics playthings to empower your creativity - timings on these will depend on balance and polish but the goal is one new feature per content patch! Current popular potentials are vehicles, bombs, winches, zip wires and magic carpets.
Let us know if you're excited to see what’s in store for Carried Away, or better still, come and say hi on Discord or Steam forums. The release date will be announced soon, along with some of the yet to be disclosed features that Early Access will bring, stay tuned!
