A few weeks ago, we sent out a request for your AMA questions. And to say you guys delivered is a massive understatement! So much so, that we have decided that we simply need to do another round to answer as many questions as possible!

So for now we have a bunch of your questions from Steam, Discord, Reddit & Twitter answered below by Gameplay Lead, Andrzej Blumenfeld [AB[/i]] and Creative Director, Tomek Wlazlo [[i]TW]. Then next week, we will follow up with Part Two!


From: Alexander Lorular [Discord]

[TW] As we stated on our Flight Map (Road Map) we plan to add larger updates every 3-4 months. With smaller Patches and Hotfixes in between. We've added our flight map below for reference.



From: iAmCursed [Discord]

[AB] We do not have a set date because we want to do it right and have it work properly with other features we have in place and planned for later. Co-op is a priority feature so it's a matter of when, but we won't rush it out till we're happy with it.

From: MedicalRider [Discord]

[TW] We're still working on this so we don't want to give away too much till we settle on the final ideas. What I can tell you is that the first iteration of gardening was purely indoors but this system has shown so much potential that we would love to develop much further. It's possible that we'll be adding new types of plants, devices, planters etc even after the gardening update.

From: NettlesomeCodger [Discord]

[TW] There are spots on the map where a POI can be generated using a procedurally generated tile system. The Generator chooses POI's randomly so it spawns in a different order and in a different location for each player. But the items won't stop spawning until the player collects the related objects, so don't worry!

From: MedicalRider [Discord]

[AB] We would love to add more types of bolts - we even have some ideas and prototypes for them so stay tuned.

From: Tr3ntzilla [Discord]

[AB] Our plan from day one has always been one airship, shared between four players. One Captain (server host) with three crew members. The world and mechanics of Forever Skies have been designed around this core concept. However, we're also aware of the communities desire to have more than one airship. We're unable to make any promises right here and now only to have our plans change. It's not as easy as simply adding more airships. There are a lot of moving parts to these systems. But we're listening to you and its certainly something that requires further testing in the studio.

From: Bagmann [Discord]

[TW]There will be more location types that's certain. As it comes to the biomes there are possibilities for that - the world of FS is vast, and we have a lot of cool ideas in the studio we want to explore here.

From: ewoudje [Discord]

[TW] As soon as possible! No set date yet, but don't worry, we're working on it!

From: Entirago [Discord]

[AB] Yes! We really love the idea of a location or a location variant that is super close to the top of the dust layer. The oxygen timer would be a cool mechanic that could also be at play here. Hopefully this is something we might add in the future!

From: ian boy [Discord]

[TW] Yes, we do plan to support past 1080p. No current timeframes to share at the minute though but it is on the "to-do" list as a priority.

From: Bagmann [Discord]

[TW] As a developer you are never really happy with the results. You could tweak and improve things for an infinite amount of time and never be fully satisfied. But overall we see the game plays really well. We've already done some tweaks in balance and the survival system based on feedback, and we're adding more threats, content, and systems as we speak. We are also not against totally changing the way something works if we see the majority of the community want it so. The most important part for us is your feedback - this game is for you after all.

From: katz9997 [Steam]

[AB] We want to say yes, but the question of how is still something we are looking into, so right now it's a maybe. We love the idea of mods as it gives players the ability to flex their creativity beyond the constraints of what we created. It also gives people a reason to keep coming back to our game, so there is very little downside in our eyes. We just need time to figure this out better, so watch this space.

From: csfMaddin [Steam]

[TW] We have no current plans for VR, but we're open to the idea and have even done some of our own minor internal tests out of sheer curiosity. The main thing here is that if we are going to do a VR version, we have to do it right either by ourselves or with a trusted VR partner. And to do that we'd need to have the game feature complete as we can't have a VR version of the game impacting what we want to create for the PC and console version.

From: NukeAJS [Steam]

[AB] Yes! There will be more diseases and they will play a much more significant role in the game. There will be new sources of viruses, new devices, new ways of treating them, and even some changes in the way our health system works. Stay tuned - it's coming really soon!

From: suikodudeman007 [Steam]

[TW] We love this idea and it's certainly possible! It was a cool addition in Subnautica having special suits for specific areas/biomes. We have a few ideas knocking around at the minute, but no promises just yet. It's all about time and prioritizing what the game needs most.

From: AgentSrell777 [Steam]

[AB] This is highly unlikely to happen. Due to the world of Forever Skies being procedurally generated, locations currently despawn once you fly a set distance away from them, meaning anything you hypothetically built would be lost. So to implement an idea like this would require us to first strip out a fundamental tech solution we have in place that works in tandem with other big features.

From: Dersh [Steam]

[TW] Yes, there are plans for more custom parts, similar to the Glass Corner modules that look more sleek.

From: Crucible [Steam]

[AB] There will be more threats added both above and below the dust. Some are coming very soon too.

From: DeltaTwoZero [Steam]

[TW] Yes! Among many, we're prototyping a floating plant colony that will damage the airship and infect the player. Here is a sneak peak!



From: DeLindsay [Steam]

[TW] Flipping and inverting every object could break the game in so many places so for the sake of our QA team's sanity, we are likely not going to add this. But we do plan to add additional airship parts, including the Inverted Cockpit

From: K.C.Wiley [Twitter]

[AB] Combat will be kept simple. After all, it's not a game about fighting, we're scientists, so killing will be a last resort. The Crossbow and Knife will be the tools you use as weapons, but players can use boosters to help themselves with tough situations too. Basically, we don't want players to expect to go "fully Rambo" in Forever Skies. Above that, we have no specifics ready to share with you about how combat will be introduced just yet as we ourselves are still testing out a few ideas.

From: Luke Reich [Twitter]

[AB] We know console players are excited about Forever Skies, which is great! We have no set dates yet. But we will come to current-gen consoles after Early Access and we plan to be in Early Access at least for another 12 months.

From: Ettore Lignelli [Twitter]

[TW] Yes there will be more of them, we're really glad you liked them!

From: DeLindsay [Reddit]

[AB] Yes, we do plan to add a creative mode later in Early Access at some point. It's something a few people have asked for and it's very clear to us why. We just need the time to get this done.


From: lieutenatdan [Reddit]

[TW] HUD removal is something we plan to add for sure so it's a matter of when. As for the other dev tools, it is possible but it's unlikely to happen until much later when we have all our systems wrapped and in place.

-------------------------------------------------------

That's all the answers we have for now! As we mentioned before, we will post a Part Two at some point next week, so keep your eyes out ready for more dev answers!

Once again, thank you to our amazing community for your amazing questions!
