Hello everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to check this out. I just wanted to share some information about the game, current ongoing development, and future plans.

Above the Clouds has been under development for almost 2 years, the first Episode will be available on 1st of October for everyone to download and play, it includes over 3000 high quality renders, over 70 animations, over 5 hours of playtime, soundtracks and a lot of sound effects. The second and final episode will be released in Q1 2024.

Above the Clouds is a choice-driven adult Visual Novel, meaning that the choices you make will determine how it ends, there are multiple endings and some choices will have impact on a specific scene, or an interaction with a character, or it could unlock a wallpaper in the Gallery.
The game is fast-paced, lighthearted, full of humor and silliness. Of course, you'll get your lewd dose with the numerous sexy scenes, but you'll also fall in love with the story and characters! The game is full of mystery and have a unique style of storytelling, flashbacks, transitions and much more. It might feel chaotic for some, but everything will fall into place in time.

During the next few months, the game will be updated with different language translations, achievements, extra scenes and lewd content that won't affect the main story, but will enrich the overall player experience.

Here are some art that I made, that's unrelated to the game story, that show some of the characters of the game.
I hope you enjoy!

Save & Sound is a music festival taking place online. It sets up a beautiful celebration of inspiring soundtracks as well as one-of-a-kind audio and music design in games. On top of that, the festival offers wonderful deals and demos on Steam.



Snufkin is a famous vagabond and adventurer, but only few know that he never ventures anywhere without his harmonica. His friends enjoy listening to the Snufkin’s melodies greatly and find comfort and fascination in the way the vagabond plays. Music is said to bring people together, and this is precisely the case for Snufkin - especially when he uses his harmonica to brighten up someone’s mood, make new friends or find help on his challenging journey.

What contributed to the immersion into the Snufkin’s musical journey is not just his masterful skill in playing harmonica but also the magnificent soundtrack created in collaboration with the Icelandic band Sigur Rós. Inspired by Iceland’s harsh weathers and unique stunning views of nature and wilderness, the melodies born in the hands and hearts of Sigur Rós contribute to the Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley’s magical appeal and atmosphere that touch the soul itself and wrap into a warm blanket, full of love and tenderness.

Friends!

A hotfix has been installed on the game servers. We've fixed the issue due to which it was impossible to select the prestige rewards. Log into the game before the end of the "Treasure Hunters" season to get your prize!

Previous version


Important

The prestige reward selection has been fixed. If you've reached a prestige level yielding a reward and couldn't select it, just log into the game. You'll see the reward selection screen again and will be able to choose the desired prize.

Please note that if you don't log into the game before the end of the "Treasure Hunters" season, you won't be able to choose the reward. We'll be distributing prizes to such players later after the autumn season launch.

Good luck in the game, and we'll see you in Warface!

Welcome back explorers,

The wait is over. Quameno & Gizureans, the two new playable factions for Distant Worlds 2, have invaded the Galaxy.

Two alien species, two factions, two societies follow very different paths.



The puzzle-loving Quameno focus on research, with their whole society aimed at unlocking the knowledge and mysteries of the universe. Trivial matters, such as trade, espionage, or even diplomacy, are only seen as distractions from their goal of research and intellectual prowess.

The Gizureans are vast both in numbers and in their hunger to consume the galaxy’s resources to keep their ever-expanding population happy. With a mysterious past, hinting at a once-whole hive mind from which only a limited shared consciousness remains, this aggressive faction engineers their ships with many fighters and special partially organic hex armor.

Each of these new factions also comes with their own special storyline and unique story locations, adding to the possible exploration events and to your knowledge of galactic lore. The Quameno will give you some additional insights on the Ancient galaxy and some of the mysteries the Ancient Guardians left behind, while the history of the Gizureans is connected with that of the Hive threat as well as the ancient enemy known as the Shakturi!

In case you have missed Erik’s streams on the two new factions of Distant Worlds 2 and the recent Discovery Update, don’t worry. You can rewatch both streams here:
