Hello! It's been a while since I've posted here.

I've been working on an automation/survival/terraforming game called Skyformer (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2305210/Skyformer/) which I released in Early Access in November 2025. It's a passion project I made from scratch with my own game engine and handmade art.

Want to share an update on development since then:

The 1.0 along with co-op multiplayer will be releasing this summer!

Currently co-op is available to anyone for testing under the "multiplayertest" branch on Steam. Servers are player-hosted and support up to 4 players for now.

Notable updates this year:

Co-op multiplayer / 1.0:

• Jetpack (allowing you to build/manage things from above).
• Jump upgrades (e.g. double/triple jump).
• Scrap Processor allowing you to turn excess items into scrap to exchange for upgrades and cosmetics.
• Emotes.
• Cosmetics.

Main game:

• Customizable game modes with presets such as creative, casual, and hardcore.
• Planting system automation features (e.g. harvesters).
• Ability to place and remove plants manually anywhere in the world.
• Improved item recipe balance to accelerate progression, especially around iron and copper recipes.
• Accelerated early game progression and smoother tutorial.
• Improved world map design to make exploration smoother.
• Ability to drop and pickup items.
• Various new inventory management features.
• New languages: Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese.
• Helpful visualizations to make drone routes feel more like conveyor belts.
• Significantly improved charge drain mechanics to make things more fun and prevent unexpected deaths.
• Improved drone route editing, with much longer ranges and ability to edit the routes from any location.
• Ability to build factory and storage buildings as part of the base.
• Many new base building pieces.
• Weather map functionality improvements with new tooltips.
• Bulk Constructor item, which allows crafting things in bulk.
• Easier to use resource detector.
• Additional Steam Achievements.
• Countless bug fixes and sources of crashes fixed.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks again!
