Today our Prospects and Bargains trade system is now officially available to players on Steam and GOG!
To discover all the details and its mechanics, check out our Prospects and Bargains post. Or, if you’d like an in-depth look at the system, watch our latest FBG Podcast where Chris and Lesleyann walk you through the system in-game.
Head over to New Winchester and visit the Promise of Days club at Wolvesey station. Here you can learn all you need to know from seasoned sky captains. Once you’ve picked up a couple of tidbits, then open the Bazaar and start wheeling and dealing.
This update also includes:
- Bringing the new proc gen branch into the main branch of the game
- Directions, which will help players find ports mentioned in quests
- Bug fixes, which you can read all about in our Patch Notes
More About: Proc Gen Coming to the Main Branch
While the new proc gen system was originally released on its own branch, today it is being merged into the main branch of the game. This means: If you moved over to the proc gen branch, then you can transfer back over to the main branch once the update is live. You’ll be able to import your save file and this time your map will not be regenerated. If you’ve never tried out the proc gen branch, then once the update goes live you will still be able to load existing save files, but you will see some changes: your chart will regenerate and you will be moved to the New Winchester starting area. However, you will not lose any progress you have made on that character.
More About: Directions
The High Wilderness is vast, and so we wanted to add in a system that can help players find ports related to quests. Currently the only quest using this is the starting quest to Port Prosper, but we’ll be implementing this feature across a range of storylets in the future. Directions are based on a 16-point compass (north, north-northeast, northeast, etc.) and are always given from the position of the region’s hub port no matter where you are in the High Wilderness. If the port in question is in the inner ring then it will be ‘some way’ from the hub port; if it is in the outer ring then it will be a ‘long way’ from the hub, e.g. Port Prosper is a long way north of New Winchester.
Dev Blogs and Podcasts Christmas Schedule
The Failbetter offices will be winding down over the Christmas period. The last dev blog before the holidays will go live Wednesday 20th December, before picking up again in January. Our next FBG Podcast should take place Friday 5th January when we’re back in the office. We hope everyone has a lovely holiday and we can’t wait to show you some exciting things in the new year!

- Sunless Skies Linux Depot [868.48 M]
- SUNLESS SKIES OST
Ten years have passed since Sunless Sea, and Queen Victoria has led an exodus from London to the heavens. There, a revitalised British Empire - ambitious and authoritarian - begins to expand across the skies.
The stars are alive. They are the Judgements: vast intelligences that govern all things. But they are dying. One by one, something is snuffing them out, leaving their thrones empty. An opportunistic Victorian Empire is colonising the domains they leave behind, painting its industrial vision upon the fabric of the heavens.
- Travel between distant ports, unravelling stories, bearing passengers and news, and trading in exotic celestial cargoes.
- Your every foray into space is as precarious as a Polar expedition. You’ll need to balance your resources carefully and keep an eye on your crew’s Terror to avoid mutiny and death.
- Your captain's actions could tip the precarious political balance of a region. Will you run guns for the Independents? Or spies for the Empire? Choose wisely – your decisions will affect the story; not just for yourself, but for your future captains as well.
- Leave your mark on the universe, and be marked in return. When you are creating your captain, every decision is a story, and every story has a consequence.
- Equip your vessel as you see fit. Would you benefit more from reinforced armour plating, or the additional manpower allowed by external crew pods? ("Soundproof! Cosy! Detachable!")
- It is not safe in the skies. A captain will need to defend themselves against pirates, scorn-flukes, the Cyst of Faces, and worse.
- Recruit a gallery of unpredictable characters to crew your locomotive as First Officer, Chief Engineer, Signaller, or Surgeon. Each brings their own skills and stories to your adventures.
