What if Raft was set in the sky? Aloft is an incredible fun survival game where you can engineer islands into huge floating bases! Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/16... and thanks to the devs for sponsoring the video!
There is also a photo contest (which I have entered my castle in of course!) split into 4 categories: Best Base, Best Photo, Best Tiny House and Most Creative, each with a prize to the winner! Enter here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...

About Aloft:
Aloft is a sandbox survival game where you must survive on islands floating around an eternal hurricane at the center of the map.
Build your base and sail the winds to discover new islands and find new resources, technologies, and equipment upgrades, while fighting back fungi corruption.
Learn more about your origins as you uncover secrets from the ruins of a civilization long gone, and find the answers to their demise by reaching the highest altitudes and braving the challenges of the hurricane.
Creative Sail Crafting
You have ultimate freedom when the time comes to craft and build sails for your island. The height and width of masts can be adjusted, the sails, rotated and expanded, and custom sails allow you to move anchor points around and inflate/deflate the cloth, letting you craft any decoration your mind can imagine. The sails you craft are then used to navigate your island around the map, navigating the wind currents and jet streams to move faster.
A life in the clouds
Craft buildings to protect you from the harsh wind, or that let the wind pass through, build bridges and zip lines to move quickly across your archipelago of floating islands, farm crops and raise animals by gathering water from passing clouds, erect windmills that will automate your machines, and gaze at the beautiful scenery. Jump off and fly freely using your glider, dancing with birds and clouds alike.
Cleanse Corruption
Some islands are corrupted by a dangerous force of nature in the form of a fungi infection. Dangerous and colorful mushrooms grow on top of the contaminated flora, and animals are victim to the corruption. Learn how to develop treatments for the various forms of the fungi, and cleanse the corruption from the islands. By healing and freeing the ecosystem, get access to new animal companions, livestock, crops, and resources.
Brave the Hurricane
The giant hurricane in the middle of the map hides the answers to your past and future in its eye. Rock fragments, lightning strikes, toxic spores and freezing temperatures make the journey through it difficult. If that was not enough, the bellows of ancients leviathans can be heard through the storm.
Wind Automation
Build windmills to harness the power of the wind and automate machines across your island. Optimize your windmill placement and hunt the best winds to power your production. Create automated oars to move your island, machines to craft advanced resources or even traps to protect your islands against enemies.
Island editor
Create your own island in the Island editor. Save it to appear in your game or export it to share your creation within a friend's game!
8-player co-op
Jump into an adventure with up to 7 other friends, and conquer the skies together. Chain off attacks while fighting as a group, take on a meaningful role in your day-to-day activities, and help your team sail and find new discoveries while exploring.

There used to be a game called Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies in which you would upgrade your flying island with spikes, walls, and other offensive equipment and fly it into other fortified islands. When the islands bashed into eachother they would break up and whoever was closest would pick up the bits to heal and earn more resources to build more defenses. When you showed the flying fortress it reminded me of that game.

@ledumpsterfire6474 Жыл бұрын

I'm fairly certain it's based on a disaster of a game called Worlds Adrift, which was basically an MMO version of this. The developers tried their damnedest to take the money and run with it, suddenly shutting down the servers in the middle of early access, and providing no way to run private servers. One threat of class action lawsuit later (because buying an early access game is buying it in an "as is" state, which it didn't qualify as anymore since it became unplayable), they were finally forced to start issuing refunds. Really glad somebody is picking up the idea. It was a solid idea, just a terrible company.
