We’ve set up an Experimental Branch on Steam for PC. The purpose of this branch is to post builds and updates there for live testing before we make official updates! This is SUPER helpful to us as we are small team and there is no substitute for high volume testing!
We’ll be looking into adding Mac and doing it for GOG as well but one step at the time!
To join the branch:
Turn off steam cloud saves. Right click on the game and choose properties, then go to General and unclick the steam cloud saves.
Back up their save data. Found at “C:\Users\USER\AppData\LocalLow\High North Studios\SKALD_ Against the Black Priory\SaveFiles” copy the SaveFiles folder and put it on the desktop for example.
Go back to steam, right click on Skald and select Properties. Select tab Betas. Type in the pass: experimental and hit the button Check Code. Now select the branch from the drop down list.
Enter password: “ experimental”
Restart steam to trigger steam client to download the update
Please note that going back and forth between the Default and Experimental branch could POTENTIALLY cause issues with save files though we’re of course doing everything we can to avoid that.
Dear air traffic controllers, We are excited to share some great news with you all. We've signed a publishing agreement with Erabit Studios, and we're gearing up for the official release of 'Mini Airways' in the third quarter!
In the future, we'll continue to steer the game's development direction. Erabit is a global creative game publisher specializing in serving individual developers and small to medium-sized development teams like ours. They provide a range of support, including publishing, quality assurance, localization, and marketing, significantly easing our workload.
During the upcoming Steam Next Fest, there will be a brand new demo, showcasing updated visuals and various improvements. It's an opportunity you won't want to miss—play as an air traffic controller like never before!
As the development progresses, we eagerly await your feedback and ideas, so feel free to join our Discord and engage directly with the development team!
