- It’s been a while... but here’s the roadmap for improvements! - 4 September 2025
Greetings, Skyfarers!Airship: Kingdoms Adrift has been a completed game for a while now, and by now, many of you know it well. While the team has since moved on to other projects, we’ve continued collecting feedback throughout. One of the earliest major issues, the December GPU performance bottleneck, was thankfully resolved. And since then, we’ve seen no reports of it reoccurring.Over the course of 2025, our full effort has gone into securing the funding needed to kickstart development of our next title. We’ll have good news to share about that later this year. But in the meantime, with some time and resources finally freed up, we want to revisit Kingdoms Adrift and fix what we can, especially things that we now understand better thanks to your feedback.Why a roadmap now?To set the tone: this roadmap is not about transforming Kingdoms Adrift into the perfect game we dreamed of. Instead…
