[h3]Greetings, Captains![/h3] We’ve got some freshly cooked updates and inside info for you today, so grab a cup of tea and make sure you’re sitting comfortably. It has now been over a month since our last Aerial update ([url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1143810/view/5619954746648145319]look here if you somehow missed it[/url]) and we are now gradually moving towards the last and largest release update of Black Skylands. HOWEVER, there are still a couple of small patches that await you before that (spoiler: one of them is already coming this month 😉). Our main priority now is to add more depth to your experience as you complete Black Skylands: making changes to player progression, redesigning certain systems, reworking or even removing certain frustrating mechanics and working on convoluted / overcomplicated systems, mainly by simplifying them. The last update for the release will include land and air opponent balance improvements and also completely [b]new locations, new bosses... and a new plot![/b] But we will tell you about that a bit later 🤫 For now, we want to thank you for all of your comments, suggestions and criticism from the bottom of our hearts, as well as sharing info about some of the latest game updates, while trying to avoid spoilers as much as we can. So As we wrote earlier, we are working on lots of new content that awaits you in the final update right now. For instance, one of the new locations is below — it’s been said that the place looks very harmless and even cozy at first sight... or does it? 👹 [img]https://i.imgur.com/DBFikGH.gif[/img] We’re not forgetting about improvements for Eva either and we will tell you about one of them — you can now use amulets. These are new items which provide various bonuses and you will be able to equip several of them at the same time.

What role do you think she’ll play? Share your ideas! [img]https://i.imgur.com/B8h28kA.gif[/img] There is also something new from the world of flora and fauna. [img]https://i.imgur.com/a1zo9ot.gif[/img] In addition to creating new content, we’re not forgetting to update what we have already — for instance, we have changed the battle against the first boss so that it now consists of two parts. There’s a clip of the updated first part below. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zi1JbrX.gif[/img] In future, you will also be able to smelt Red and Blue Ore into Weapon and Ship Steel at the Factory. [img]https://i.imgur.com/hNeLjH2.gif[/img] In addition to all of that, we continue working on changes to weapon and ship component upgrades. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35733426/f42c70cb1884120a96c7a8b7b9aced152dedcce5.png[/img] That’s it for today. Thanks for staying with us and see you soon! Oh, and one more thing — if there are any aspects of the game that you want more details about, share them with us. We read all of your comments!
