The Day Has Finally Come!

We've made it! The launch date for Skystead Ranch is here! Skystead Ranch is now live on both Steam and Epic Games for everyone to install and play! A massive thank you to each and every one of you who helped us get to this momentous day for our little Northern Indie Games Studio.
Whether you're a long-time fan, someone we met at Comic-Con or EGX, or just a supporter who stumbled across our little Kickstarter campaign or game store page, we want to send you a massive thank you and all our love, from all of us here at ToastieLabs.

It's Time to Play!

The game will finally be available for everyone to play! We invite you to play Skystead Ranch along with us as we are Broadcasting on the store page where we will be live-streaming the game ourselves for the next hour or so! If you haven't already, make sure to join our Discord where the discussion with the devs can continue through the weekend. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2399570/Skystead_Ranch/ Tell your friends, tell your family, tell whoever you like! This is just the beginning of the next chapter for Skystead Ranch and the success you help bring will allow us to make the game bigger and better as we go further into 2025.

Skystead Ranch is all about the Skylets!

If you are still here to learn about Skystead Ranch, let us tell you a little more about the game. Skytead Ranch is a creator collector where you control your own ranch to create the perfect homes for the cute creatures we call Skylets!
Each Skylet has its own unique set of needs and requirements; it's up to you to learn about them all and make the island a perfect balance to attract the Skylets you want on each island! With elements of farming, cooking, fishing, and terraforming; you have all the tools at your disposal to provide for all the cute Skylets that come your way!

What to expect next

As we said, this is just the beginning. We still have a variety of things to work on and implement so there's more to look forward to.

• Nintendo Switch porting in March*
• A Beach island with 10 new Skylets (Thanks to the stretch goal on Kickstarter!)
• The player house interior
• Chests with inventory
• Functional feeding troughs and sundials
• More smaller updates we'll be sure to share in patch notes

So make sure to check back for updates on Steam, Discord, and all the usual places to see what's coming up next! Depending on the success of the launch, we may be able to be even more ambitious, but that is optimistic talk; we'll see how the next week of sales goes!

Skystead Soundtrack

A lot of smart design went into the music for Skystead Ranch. As you terraform an island, keep an ear out for the subtle music changes during the day as the instruments that play the music will be vary to match the different biomes and terraformed land types! The store page is available here and will be live from the 23rd of January: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3437920/Skystead_Ranch__Soundtrack/

Thank you

Once again, we cannot thank you all enough for your support. The game legitimately would not be as large as it is today without all of your support. So a massive thank you from all 5 of us here at ToastieLabs, we can't wait to see what the future holds with you along for the ride. Make sure you stop by the Steam store page today and tonight to watch the madness of our live stream as the whole team will be swapping in and out to play Skystead Ranch and hold a few last-minute giveaways. - As always, sent with love from the ToastieLabs team <3
