Hello, scientists!
Today we are launching the Legacy Branch for Forever Skies, a direct response to our community's amazing feedback and requests to help archive their old saves ahead of the reset from our next major update. As many of you know we've been hard at work preparing a massive update for Forever Skies that includes a full gameplay overhaul and the inclusion of the much awaitedco-op mode. This update, launching on December 9th, will change the game in so many ways for the better. However one drawback as mentioned a few weeks back is that old saves will no longer be compatible and so everyone will need to restart their progress. See here if you missed the news: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1641960/eventcomments/6955341523712025315?snr=1_5_9_ But thanks to our community feedback we have one bit of silver lining - The Legacy Branch.What is the Legacy Branch?
The Legacy Branch is a special branch of the game that you will be able to switch to in Steam to return to your old saves on the side. It’s essentially a "time capsule" for your past adventures, archiving the progress you’ve made until now. We saw a massive outpouring of support and understanding when we announced why old saves would no longer be compatible. However many of you all expressed interest in having a way to memorialize your old progress before the big changes come, and we thought it was a fantastic idea. So you can now return to your old airships and play down memory lane.Important Things to Note:
