Dear Travellers,



Starting today when you gather your Crew and ready up for a trek across the skies, the eagle-eyed among you will notice a brand new option in the main game menu - the Worlds Adrift Item Store!


The Item Store comes alongside a bunch of other fixes (please see the usual tasty patch notes for more on those), but we felt there may be people out there who wanted more info on the whys and wherefores. If that’s you - read on!


First up, it’s important to reiterate that the Item Store is now and will forever be for cosmetic items only - no pay-to-win here, thank you very much.


Our Founder community will remember an early post where we discussed the business model for the game (... Read more

Hi Sylvain here,


Last Tech Tuesday we covered the Hotfixes and the technical challenges, decisions and processes we had to put in place to allow ourselves to release hotfixes faster to the community.

First I wanted to make it clear that together with committing to more focused updates, we have actually pledged to react faster after updates and deliver hotfixes on critical issues where we can.

Deciding if something is critical is obviously a subjective call especially in a game that is still under development and will receive significant improvements in the coming months.

I will try and explain the decision making process here but clearly this is not always an exact science.

The first question is about whether the issue was introduced or exaggerated by the last update, this is really impor... Read more

Don't have a Founder friend to share a key? No worries.

Worlds Adrift is now ON SALE - 25% OFF!

🎉Happy New Lunar Year!🎉

新年快乐🐷🎉🏮

Hey Travellers,

Don't believe the news, the snow in UK is a fine dusting.

We've got some exciting things lined up for next week. Keep your eyes peeled!

The Keys to Our Success
Dear Founders, if you haven't already seen it, read this![www.worldsadrift.com] Thank you for your fantastic support, we wouldn't be where we are without you.

We are about to stream!
For the first time ever, thanks to Oli and Ryan, the Worlds live prompt goes up on the Captain's Log! Come hang out with Luke and the crew, listen to all the behind-the-scenes anecdotes of Worlds Adrift development as the devs explore Driss.

We make no bones about it; Worlds Adrift would never have taken flight without our revered band of Founders, let alone soared to its current heights. These 45,000 brave souls heeded the call of the skies, and have since made the clouds their home.

They’ve rallied crews.

Embarked upon adventures.

Banded together to form (and quash!) renowned alliances.

And fought for what is theirs by “right”!

Perhaps it was a Founder that found you. Perhaps you’re reading this with a sly smile, knowing you’re one of whom we speak.

Either way, we salute you, comrade.

In fact, we’ve decided that a humble salute doesn’t quite cut it…

As a thank you for helping Worlds Adrift become the place it is today, we want to help you with your ongoing mission to charter the dangers of Foundation, which is why we’ve decided to give away a Free... Read more

You may have heard of these Travellers before, you’ve seen them lurking in game and on the forums.

Anne/Spitfyre (previously written about in this post[www.worldsadrift.com]. In this post she mentioned she was heading for retire on a different server after starting trade on the previous most popular server. That retirement lasted about a week - the insatiable entrepreneur built a business of trading rare clothes on the European server that she moved to, since the merge Anne’s store is back and on Kubo!

Anne is without a doubt one of the best known travellers of Fou... Read more

Return of the Tech Tuesday
Tech Tuesday has made a comeback this week with a delightful piece from Murillo, on the WA's relationship journey with hotfixes.

You may have (or have not) noticed we’ve released a couple chunky hotfixes recently instead of the extended times between updates, and there’s another fix on the horizon... To find out mor... Read more

Julia: We’re back with new Tech Tuesdays! WOOO!

To start off, you may have (or have not) noticed we’ve released a couple chunky hotfixes recently instead of the extended times between updates, and there’s another fix on the horizon. Hotfixes are normally reserved for absolutely game breaking issues, but... A pledge to make the game smoother is a pledge, you see, so across two of the following Tech Tuesdays we will explain why we have decided to speed up the development process with hotfixes between standard updates.



Hi, I’m Murillo and I’m the lead developer on Worlds Adrift.

A big part of running an early access game is responding to things going wrong as quickly as possible. There is still room for improvement, but I'm going to outline some of the challenges we face when delivering hotfixes a... Read more

Greetings Travellers,

We bring you our weekly roundup of things that you may have missed.
Hotfixing We released the Hotfix this Monday which means voice chat is working swell and sailing should be SMOOTHER.

You can read the patch notes[www.worldsadrift.com] and see it for yourself! As usual, we are looking forward to your feedback, so let us know what you think of the improvements.


Stream In case you literally JUST MISSED IT, here's the recap of our rum-infused stream!

The Unity/Improbable storm rages on, and we find ourselves at the centre of its maelstrom. But with such seasoned captains at the helm, it’s safe to say the hull is intact, and we plan to remain very much afloat.

As we continue to await the storm’s passing, please read the blog post below for more information...


https://www.worldsadrift.com/announcement/navigating-the-storm/

NOTABLE BUGFIXES AND CHANGES

• Newly learned schematics will have the correct amount of unlocked cipher slots.
• Fixed a bug where schematics could have more cipher slots than the player had unlocked.
• Fixed a bug where players would be unable to listen to other players if the other players were quickly moving in and out of VoIP range.
• Reduced ship rubberbanding
  • General ship motion is smoother now
  • The black spinning circle will appear less frequently
  • Ships won't stop at server boundaries
  • Ships positions should be closer to where they actually are on the server

Greetings Travellers,

First of all, a massive thank you for all the lovely messages of support, yesterday has been a roller-coaster for everyone involved, but as we stated last night we are sailing strong and you are our priority.

As you may have also heard, there was talk of a hotfix this week (or figured out from last week’s Captain’s Log, we were working on it), that was fortunately the only thing that got pushed back a little as our focus was momentarily taken away with working on keeping the game up. You will be getting the widely requested hotfix next week which includes improvements to sailing and voice chat. Small but mighty - stay tuned!


What have the devs worked on this week:

• Ship blueprint saving design
• Tweaking climbing and Rhegus Greaves speed
• A coup...
