  • Lost Skies

    It’s a co-op exploration, base-building, and survival game set among floating islands in the clouds. Unlike most base building games, you take your base with you, in the form on your airship, which you have a lot of freedom to design how you like.

    The main gameplay loop involves exploring new islands, solving puzzles and fighting enemies to gather loot, and using that loot to upgrade your ship. When you feel strong enough, you challenge the region’s boss, which drops loot that will help you progress to a region of a higher difficulty tier. There are 4 tiers of region difficulty and many regions of each difficulty.

    The game has had some drama regarding leaving early access well before it was ready, but the devs are continuing to put significant work into the game, and it’s in a good state now, but with a fairly small community.

    Currently on sale 50% off ($25 $12.50)

    The pressure isnt violently different (it’s only 1atm. Scuba divers can go up to 70atm with special breathing equipment). The issue is the boiling point of water is very low at that pressure, but on a cellular level the physics of that are going to be different.

    Also space being “cold” is a bit of a misconception. Your body produces heat constantly, and it’s hard to dissipate heat in space, since you can basically only radiate it out as infrared light, which is a much slower process than being in physical contact with something.

    In fact, we use vacuum chambers to insulate things such as in those metal thermoses that they tell you not to put in the dishwasher.

    So being in space would actually be more like being wrapped in the thickest possible blanket than being cold.
