We are proud to be taking part in War Child's annual gaming fundraiser, Armistice 2019, which encourages peaceful gameplay during the month of November to coincide with Armistice Day.

What's new in today's update

Recruit a new mascot: the Sky-Worn Urchin. Orphaned by the Winchester War, she now stows away on locomotives, intending to see every corner of the sky. If you give her a home, shell share what shes learned of the heavens. To recruit the Sky-Worn Urchin, first visit Lustrum. Then return to the sky, and watch for signs of a stowaway

About War Child and Armistice 2019

War Child is striving for a world where childrens lives are no longer torn apart by war. They protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children caught up in conflict. They aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out, and stay to support them through their recovery - helping to keep them safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future. The Armistice fundraiser is an annual event which includes a Steam sale. 30% off our profits from the sale (after taxes and fees) will be donated to War Child! For more information about War Child or to make a donation directly, please visit the War Child website or follow @WarChild_Gaming on Twitter.

Updates

Some balance adjustments have been made to lateral thrust.
The highlighting and spacing on Storylet panels has been improved.
Changes to your qualities are now presented more clearly.
Storylet logging is now capped to the last few branches selected.
The left stick on gamepads now scrolls and highlights branches (you no longer have to use the left and right stick together together).
Storylet logging is now capped to the last few branches selected.

N.B. With regards to scrolling with gamepads, R3 is still used to move up to see logged branch choices and down to view long quality results. There are a few outstanding issues with R3 scrolling, in particular on non-hub bazaars. We will address these issues in a future update.

Bug fixes

Curators will no longer pursue you endlessly across the High Wilderness.
Focus can no longer be lost from the control menu when using a gamepad.
Activating Full Steam Mode will no longer cause the Dendrified Vagabond to play a jig on his harmonica.
You can no longer travel under terrain near Tiggelaar's Haunt.
Headlights will no longer pass through terrain near Prosper or New Winchester.
You will no longer collide with invisible obstacles near Braley Rock.

SUNLESS SKIES OST

It is the dawn of the 20th century, and London has taken to the stars! As the captain of a spacefaring locomotive you'll behold wonders and battle cosmic abominations in the furthest heavens. Stake your claim. Fight to survive. Speak to storms. Murder a sun. Face judgement.

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.
