SkyDrifters

SkyDrifters is a cooperative sandbox game developed and published by JoyBits. Released in early access on Steam, the game allows players to explore a vast, procedurally generated world from a unique airborne perspective. Players control customizable airships, which serve as both their mode of transportation and mobile base of operations. The core gameplay loop revolves around exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and survival.

The world of SkyDrifters is composed of floating islands and diverse biomes suspended in the sky. Players must manage their airship's resources, such as fuel and hull integrity, while navigating treacherous weather conditions and encountering various airborne creatures. Crafting plays a significant role, enabling players to upgrade their airships with new components, tools, and defensive systems, as well as create items necessary for survival.

Cooperation is a central theme, with players able to team up to build larger, more complex airships, share resources, and defend against potential threats. The game emphasizes player freedom, allowing for emergent gameplay and creative solutions to challenges. SkyDrifters aims to provide a relaxing yet engaging experience focused on exploration and collaborative building in a fantastical sky-world. The early access period is being used to refine gameplay mechanics and expand content based on player feedback.
