Update

Weve been unable to fully resolve the outstanding bug with the locomotive headlight which is seen on some OSX devices. However there is a workaround; using -force-glcore or alternatively -force-opengl as a launch command will resolve the issue. Full steps can be found in our troubleshooting guide.

Tech bug fixes

The screen will no longer shake when docking, though the locomotive itself may judder slightly.
After erupting from host locomotives, Guest tentacles will continue to writhe.
Dreadnought Guest damage and death animations have returned.
The animations on Chorister Bees wings should no longer freeze.
Agent headlight intensity has been lowered slightly so it is easier to see their bullets on smaller screens.
The chart label for the Eleutheria transit relay in Worlebury is no longer blank.
Tutorial ambient messages and control prompts now have a background layer so they are easier to read.
Gamepad exclusive fields have been removed from the Controls menu.

Narrative bug fixes

The Researchers Crusade quest is now displayed in the journal rather than on the status panel.
All references of Ministry-Approved Permits have been replaced with Ministry-Stamped Permits.
The Poetic Forged Companion will no longer be mentioned when speaking to The Pugilistic Forged Companion.
You will now always gain Terror when failing to climb the mountain at Lustrum.
The Patchwork Devil quest will now update in the journal once youve captured a live Chorister Bee.
If the Incognito Princess is on secondment you cannot forge a ring for her at Carillon, or help her meet the Measurer's demands at Crossroads.
The safer and riskier options on prospect opportunities at Lustrum and Prosper now display the correct chance of success.
Peculiarities on the status panel will now display a level description where appropriate.
Several typos have been fixed.

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.
