Hi everyone!
Today we give you new updates of Lost in Sky!

Character selection screen
We implemented new looks of our characters and overhauled the character selection screen. We also added an option to choose keyboard or gamepad while playing in the coop mode.



A new NPC
Meet the new NPC! He’s one of the best hackers in the world, but he will deny everything. Keeping things hidden is the best way to go on ARK…



But since we’ve found him anyway, let’s take a look at his humble abode. Here’s a concept of entrance doors. It’s simple but expressive.



And here’s the “abode.” Humble, only bare necessities such is a laptop. Don’t tell anyone but we think that our own rooms were the source of inspiration 😉



Dialogue system
We keep honing our dialogue system. Pop-up speech bubbles with characters’ avatars are laconic, readable, and compact.



We love doors!

Apart from modest doors of hacker’s lair, these are monumental. There’s no way for you to find something ordinary behind them.



Some action
You don’t always have time to enjoy the graceful combat tango in the heat of the battle. Here’s a picture board of Roy’s polished and deadly movements…



…and see them in action! Float like a butterfly, crash like a brick!



We’ll see you soon! We promise!

Hey everyone!

You’re probably still a little cautious about the year 2022. What challenges will it bring? Will it finally give us a break? In the meanwhile, we’re done relaxing. Picking up speed!

There’s no time for a warm-up. Diving straight into…



Sewers!

Just look at that! New enemies, throwing around leftover Christmas marshballows! Which name would you pick for them? Apart from the obvious Wastrel, of course.



And look at this place! Isn’t it cozy? Don’t you just love it? We hope you can really appreciate the beauty of sewers 😉



And back to sunshine. Enjoy the latest bright and juicy screenshots from other levels.








Casually updating UI typefaces, making them a better match for the game theme: strict, high-tech, and stylish.





Who is this cutie cute? Who’s a good boy? Who’s happy to see us? It’s one of our bosses! Come here, boy, we're gonna kill you.



We’ll see you soon!

Hi everyone! 2021 brought us lots of wonderful beginnings and even some achievements.

In this article, we'd like to cast your mind back to some great results, we achieved this year.

First and most important: we participated in Dev.Play and NYX Game Awards!

During Dev.Play our game was live-streamed and more than 3000 players got a chance to see the gameplay first!

At NYX Game Awards 2021 Lost in Sky won the golden awards in the categories PC Game - Indie Game and PC Game - Action Game.



We’re very proud that our game has been appreciated, and we’re keeping it up!
With all the victories, contests, and streams we’ve had so much new energy that added a ton of new stuff.

New Character Look
We announced Roy and Eileen’s new looks a while ago. Now it’s time to check them out in the game!
How do you like them?



Cut Scenes
If you’re following us on social media, you must have seen the new Lost in Sky trailer. If you aren’t, it’s time to subscribe! :D

The trailer shows fine examples of future cut scenes in the game, among other things. Here’s one for you:




Coop Camera
We tweaked it to improve interaction and your comfort during cooperative play.
• The camera automatically zooms out when the distance between the characters increases. It zooms back in when the characters are closer;
• If the characters are too far from each other (you don’t want that on the Ark, by the by), a small windows pops up if your partner dies.



Weapons
A very quick overview of new types of weapons.

Grenades. High AOE damage, different effects on different types of grenades.



Arrow tips. Long range, different effects on different types of arrow tips, of course.



Map

As we are a classic case of a 2D action platformer, so the implementation of the most important metroidvania element was only a matter of time



The Rage Mode
It’s not new, it has existed in the game for a long while. However weird it may sound, there was not enough rage in it. We tweaked it a bit, and the effect was astonishing: for a short period, the Rage kicks in, making the characters so strong that enemies simply blow up. Three marks on the Rage scale restore over time. The rest of it must earned in combat or found elsewhere.



Monster Buffing

By our GIFs, you might think that combat in Lost in Sky is all too easy. Trust us, this is far from being true. And to assure every headshaker here, we've added another "obstacle," namely, the monster buffing. This means that some monsters will come in packs accompanied by a pack boss, which grants protection to his minions. There's no point in attacking other monsters before you defeat the pack boss.



Thanks for following us! Stay tuned and Happy New Year! 🎄

Hi everybody!

It’s been two long months since our last post, and we’ve got gazillion news! First and foremost, we participated in Dev.Play and NYX Game Awards! It was really swell and exciting.

Lost in Sky won the golden awards in the categories PC Game - Indie Game and PC Game - Action Game.



And a handful of silver awards:
PC Game - Best Visual Art
PC Game - Best Art Direction
PC Game - Best Animation
PC Game - Best Gameplay
PC Game - Platformer Game
PC Game - Best Character Design

We’re very proud that our game has been appreciated, and we’re keeping it up!
With all the victories, contests, and streams we’ve had so much new energy that added a ton of new stuff: overhauled the characters’ look, created new cut scenes, introduced a checkpoint room, and many other things. Let’s take a look.

New Character Look

We announced Roy and Eileen’s new looks a while ago. Now it’s time to check them out in the game!
Roy, the brave swordsman and Arc’s invincible warrior:



Eileen, the graceful and deadly archer:



How do you like them?

Cut Scenes

If you’re following us on social media, you must have seen the new Lost in Sky trailer. If you aren’t, it’s time to subscribe! :D


The trailer shows fine examples of future cut scenes in the game, among other things. Here’s one for you:



Pins on the Map

To make sure you don’t get lost, we dropped a handful of pins on the map, showing where the useful things are: elevators, exits to other levels, and so on.



The Converter

The electric converter feeds current to various devices, such as doors, platforms, elevators, etc. But it turned out that it has to be fed current before it can distribute it! What a surprise 😉 and we surely have options to make it work.



The Checkpoint Room

We gladly give you the checkpoint room, where your characters will respawn after death. That's where you can take a breather after another bloodbath.



Screenshots! Screenshots!

We’re publishing the new screenshots here instead of placing them at the end of the article, and we’re going to tell you why. Enjoy the grim Barracks where underground worms and exploding flyers are. Isn’t it the best location to shoot a horror movie?





That’s all for today! See you!

Hi everyone!
We’re happy to announce that Lost in Sky will participate at the Indie Festival at Dev.Play 2021!

Our game is eligible for all awards and will also be shown during the live-stream at 17:30 - 18:00 EET on October 26th on multiple platforms: Twitch, YouTube, and Steam.

You’ll be the first to see Lost in Sky gameplay streaming live!





We also joined the Eastern European Games powered by Dev.Play. On October 25 live broadcasts will be displayed on the top of the event’s page https://store.steampowered.com/sale/devplay

We’ll broadcast our game all day long on the top of our Steam page! Enjoy the stream and remember to add the game to your wishlist!

Hey!

Autumn is gaining momentum, it’s getting colder outside, and we’re rushing to warm your homes with our latest hot news. Sit closer, let’s get warm together.
In today’s program: latest coop features, UI update, concept art, and bloodbath!

Coop Camera
We tweaked it to improve interaction and your comfort during cooperative play.
• The camera automatically zooms out when the distance between the characters increases. It zooms back in when the characters are closer;
• If the characters are too far from each other (you don’t want that on the Ark, by the by), a small windows pops up if your partner dies.



Biomaterial Autocollector
We’re here to serve you! Tired of looting biomaterial? Purchase an “internal magnet” and watch the goodies literally fly in your direction.



Skill Screen
We’re filling in more UI information, such as the inventory or maps. Our latest addition is the tab with the description of all unlockable skills.



Transformer
This is just some concept art. Looks cool but we wish we knew what to do with it! No worries, we’ll come up with something.



New Cover
Overhauling our characters. You might have noticed how we replaced the covers and banners on Steam and social media.



We now take you to our What-If section!
"What if…"
• What’s gonna happen if you have a grenade on you and meet a spider? A spectacular kill and a spectacular walk-away. Cool guys don’t look at explosions 😉



• What if you take a stroll around ARK on your own? Your friends are going to miss a good fight!



• What if you go down the energy tunnel into the dark? You will encounter monsters. Seriously, did you expect something else?



And now we give you the long-awaited screenshots! We’ll see you next time!

Hi everybody!

July seems to be over too soon, and we need to look back to realize how much we've done. That is, there's a new addition in our crew of NPCs, another chemical weapon, and added monster baffling.

New NPC
Here's the concept of the new NPC. We'll keep his role and mission secret for now, but you can make a guess judging by his looks.



Monster Buffing
By our GIFs, you might think that combat in Lost in Sky is all too easy. Trust us, this is far from being true. And to assure every headshaker here, we've added another "obstacle," namely, the monster baffling. This means that some monsters will come in packs accompanied by a pack boss, which grants protection to his minions. There's no point in attacking other monsters before you defeat the pack boss.



Chemical Weapon
Let's take a step back and see some of our heroes' weapons in action. Chemical arrows and grenades infect enemies upon hit, making them lose hit points over time. Just make sure you hit as many enemies as you can, and let the poison and chemical compounds do its job.





Obstacles and Stashes
We often tell you that you should keep an eye out on ARK!
The utmost alertness and concentration may save your life:



Or bring you a good reward:



And finally, here are some long-awaited screenshots only for you!









See you just before the fall!

Hi everyone!

The first summer month is over, and it’s time to share the news! Lost in Sky features a couple of newborn and overhauled monsters, a level map, new avatars, and many other things.

Monsters

Our new arrivals and latest changes made us really proud, so we’d love to tell you as much about them as we can. Let’s fly up in the air and take a closer look at these gorgeous flying creatures.
Eggspawner has got brand new animations. We put them together for you.



Thorn Thrower is happy to show off its new animations! Just look at him fly!



And we’re back on the surface, where Stinger knows how to use the sting not only for defense but for masterful close combat attacks.



Let’s see them in action: here’s a skirmish against Scorpion in close combat with the air support of Thorn Throwers. Classic!



Map

We’re a classic case of a 2D side scroller action platformer (at least, for now), so the implementation of the most important metroidvania element was only a matter of time. We’re happy to give you the Level Map, v.1



Antigravity Tunnel
Last month we told you about the Antigravity Energy Tunnel, a device used for fast vertical travels. Now you have a chance to see it live in the game!



Character Avatars
The main characters’ models will see a renovation very soon. In the meantime, here’s a nice little teaser for you: new character avatars.



Screenshots

A couple of traditional screenshots of locations for you to enjoy.
We’ll see you next month!

Hi everyone!

It's almost summer, and everyone is packing to go on their holidays but we just can't stop! Let's go over the things we've done.

Elevator Navigation
We've got a great number of elevators on Ark. It's getting hard to track down which goes where, so we decided to add some navigation for you. You'll find special signs on each elevator, showing their destinations. We hope it'll save you some hiking around Ark.



Newborn Monsters
The Spring is a wonderful time! The nature is coming alive: plants, birds, animals, and monsters. Welcome two monster babies in our Bestiary. We can't reveal any details yet, but you'll have a chance to check out their abilities.
For instance, this baby is often compared to a unicorn, but not for its love to marshmallows!



The other newcomer is way more serious. Its hard shell and humongous size allow it to take the most direct approach. It literally bulldozes you in.





Energy Shield
We added the new visual to characters' armor. The energy sphere clearly reacts to incoming hits. Just wait and you'll see.



Interactive Objects
We added two new interactive objects that are supposed to make your life easier and your progress faster.
• The elevator that will deliver you from the nearest checkpoint to the thick of the battle. Now you can focus on beating the boss without taking long runs through locations every time you die.



• That's right, this is a jumping pad. We call it Antigravity Energy Wormhole. Yes, we can do it just because we said so. Oh, and because the action takes place in the future, of course.



And lastly, we give you several traditional screenshots straight from the development workshop!

Hi everybody!

The past month was very fruitful. We can give you the revamped Rage mode, new obstacles, health pack vending machines, and many other things.

Let’s take a closer look at each.

The Rage Mode

It’s not new, it has existed in the game for a long while. However weird it may sound, there was not enough rage in it. We tweaked it a bit, and the effect was astonishing: for a short period, the Rage kicks in, making the characters so strong that enemies simply blow up. Three marks on the Rage scale restore over time. The rest of it must earned in combat or found elsewhere.





New Obstacles

There are doors that can let you in but won’t let you out! But once you switch them off, you can freely enter and exit through them as you please.



Health Pack Machines
You spend hit points to mine resources from monsters. Now you can spend resources to restore hit points. This is the natural resource cycle.



Locations

New cool screenshots of the ongoing Presses locations development.







Bear in mind that fast reaction, quick decision-making, precision and accuracy in characters control are the main survival factors on ARK!



We’ll see you soon!
