Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We think SkyShard is a fully functional (and super fun) game already, but we want just a little more time to refine it alongside our players. We're still putting in final artwork for the latest batch of new units, adding in some bonus features, and developing additional content to make the game the best it can be for a full 1.0 release. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our Early Access period should last no longer than 6 months, and could be notably quicker if our artists are able to continue producing art at a high rate of speed. We have a well defined roadmap and ample funds to finish, so we think this is a very reasonable goal. ”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We think the Early Access version of SkyShard is already a compelling game that can offer hundreds of hours of value for engaged players (as our demo has proven). The new content and features we plan to add in Early Access include:

-Finished art for all 170+ units
-Refined projectile and idle animations
-New Heroes
-New Units
-More Solo Mode runs & challenges (with lore and story elements)
-Duel Mode - Challenge other players' islands via build codes
-Offline Mode
-Beta Art options
-General balance, bug fixes, system improvements”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“SkyShard is a functionally complete game with an active community. Many players logged 100+ hours in our demo.

The Early Access version of the game already includes:

-Asynchronous PVP with ranked system and leaderboard
-4 PVP Game Modes with alternate rulesets
-7 Tutorials, 8 Solo Adventures
-170+ Units, 20+ Enchantments, 15 Hero Quests
-Library of units, lore, and synergies, alongside a tips system and build history

Throughout Early Access, our primary goal is finishing our visuals, and adding even more stuff to do with bonus features, modes, and content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We intend to run some large sales to kick off the Early Access period, but the pricing will otherwise be consistent with the game after release. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Because our game is developed by two Youtubers, we are always incredibly engaged with our community by making videos, responding to comments, and chatting on Discord every single day. We have a loyal group of players who give great feedback, help us balance the game, and just have fun showing off builds and strategies. ”

About This Game

Wizards are waging war among the skies to conquer a shattered world. Lay claim to your skyshard and build a city full of magical buildings and enchanted weapons!

Building and Battling

SkyShard is a fantasy city-building auto-battler where you’ll need to outsmart your opponents by assembling the most powerful city you can. It will take a combination of careful resource management and planning to acquire the right buildings for your town, along with clever positioning of your buildings to unlock surprising and potent effects.

As your town grows, other players will attack with their own skyshards, and you’ll need to survive 16 rounds to win. Sometimes they’ll surprise you with a humbling defeat, but that’s the best way to learn! With asynchronous PVP, there’s absolutely no time pressure. You can take as long as you like to arrange your city perfectly. 

Only the wisest wizards can achieve a perfect victory or climb the leaderboard and achieve the rank of Archmage!

Endless Buildings and Synergies

In the world of SkyShard, you’ll encounter buildings from a variety of factions, each with their own special abilities, and embracing them all can give you a big advantage.

  • The Tinker faction uses gnomish technology to make buildings operate at peak efficiency, but it can definitely backfire.

  • Magic harnesses explosive powers that can deal lots of damage to entire neighborhoods. 

  • Nature is all about gaining health and staying alive, even against the most aggressive enemies. 

You’ll encounter even more factions, with over a hundred unique buildings with diverse and formidable effects to discover. 

Truly Independent

We made SkyShard to be a game that puts players first. We’re two meager strategy-gaming YouTubers, ItsBen321 and RegisKillbin, who got tired of games always making decisions that were focused on monetization and forced engagement

So we decided to put our money and time where our mouths are, and make our own game!

We might make some mistakes along the way, this is our first game after all, but we’ll always be around on YouTube and Twitch, listening to players, and working to make the game better and keeping players updated on our thoughts, plans, challenges, and triumphs.

Now you get out there and build an amazing city, while we go and build an awesome game!
