Patch Notes - Beta1: 0.5.5 - 9/9/2015

New Stuff

Player skills are in! You can now gain skills doing various things. Right now it’s mostly gathering stuff. Mining nodes, fabric nodes, and mineral nodes (for glass) have been placed around Griffin’s Roost and Rivets Aisle.
First phase of resource refining added to harvester buildings. This will be a work in progress over a few patches. More details on the full plan will be in the forums!
You can now store buildings and move them to your other islands. To store a building, start moving it and click on the Storage button (looks like a backpack next to the other movement buttons). You can place buildings from storage by accessing your main inventory.
Added click-and-hold controls. Hold your mouse down and watch your character move!
Free-cam mode has been added back in when you’re on your island. To unlock the camera, click on the camera icon next to the Movement Mode button :-)
Upgraded the engine to Unity 5. Expect some weird bugs possibly.

Coming Soon

More frequent updates!
Crop harvesting.
Crop trade missions.
Cooking.
And once those last Beta2 features are done, we’ll launch Beta2 and start working on Beta3 (the combat/adventuring beta)

** This game requires a constant internet connection since it's cloud based **

Explore the skies of a Steampunk world while discovering islands, taming beasts, and battling anything that stands in your way. When you've had your fill of adventuring, you can build up an outpost to serve as your base of operations for crafting and sending your followers out on missions while you're away.

Your friends can also set up outposts which you can visit and help out. Oh, and did we mention that your account is fully cross-platform and cloud-enabled, so it can be resumed from Android/iOS devices? Yeah, it's pretty slick.

Stratos

Stratos is a world of floating islands, fragmented and strewn across a seemingly-infinite sea of clouds. Although it is unknown whether it has always been this way or whether the islands were once a part of something far below, Stratians are well-adapted to their setting. Societies have been established on the largest of the sky islands, and their peoples have learned to use flox--the very mineral that keeps their world afloat--and other natural resources to their advantage.
