Designed in Unity3D, The Skies is centered on a real-time evolving experience in which each player’s action causes a change in the world, including relationships with characters, factions and other events. Players engage in battle across the mountains in the West and the desert in the East as well as cities in the North and South. According to the legend, the great city “Skies” is mankind’s last hope for survival. Unique to The Skies is a multi-level economy system and a multi-tiered resource production system that depend on the player actions in game, a non-linear storyline where players can combine online games and a single pass, and a world that evolves and scales over time.

Conquering or liberating territories will enable players to explore a huge universe with diverse landscapes. Beyond all those territories may be found the rescue of mankind from the apocalypse and a legendary, mysterious city called “The Skies”.

Skies Technologies has observed the willingness of players to gain power or take over territories, and has therefore decided to increase and improve capabilities that clans have in The Skies. Developers are now inviting all the clans to help test out the new update and provide their valuable feedback.

While players enjoy the safe zones that The Skies has made available following the community’s feedback, gaining more and more power seems to be, nevertheless, the ultimate goal. Based on this observation, Skies Technologies, Inc. has implemented an update that refers exclusively to clans.

The update includes the following changes:

• The leader of the clan can now transfer his authorities to other two players, and the clan will be able to take part in three battles simultaneously.
• Clans’ levels will impact the amount of in-game currency and XP gained by each member for in-game actions.
• The limit to clan size is now connected to the clan’s level – hence, players will do their best to to grow and become stronger as a clan!
• Additional respawn points are given for capturing territories that offer the opportunity to request cars, shops, repairs or to buy randomly generated valuable goods.
• General rating of clans is introduced on the server.
• A daily challenge with a daily leaderboard and the Best Wanderer Title are introduced, together with a reward.

Moreover, starting this week, The Skies (Early Alpha)will be available to all players, not only to Steam users! The game will be available to download directly from the official website.

The developers are constantly working on improving The Skies and meeting the players’ expectations. Following the feedback and advice they received during the last months, Skies Technologies, Inc. has made an exciting plan for the future, meant to grow The Skies. By mid June, players can expect a new location – Wastewaters – to be included. By mid July, the long-awaited female characters will be introduced. Later this year, clans’ bases and more locations, content and optimisation shall be introduced.
