Find and craft ancient technology, build your own skyship, brave ferocious storms, and battle giant threats that await beyond the horizon.

Embark on an adventure through the remnants of ancient civilizations. Uncover the mystery of their downfall and employ their advanced technology to aid your journey. Navigate a shattered world ravaged by storms, revel in lands reclaimed by nature, and face the colossal beings still roaming the skies that brought about humanity’s destruction.

With a vast world to explore, you’ll need to build your own skyship to navigate the open skies. Lost Skies’ unique ship crafting system allows you to intricately shape your ship's hull, and freely place parts where you want, taking care to consider the quality and weight of the materials you use. Not only is your skyship your home in the clouds, it is also your warship to take into battle and survive treacherous weather.

Flow effortlessly through the skies’ broken landscapes with a physics-based grappling hook. Climb, glide, and fly as you use your own creativity for both traversal and dynamic combat. Enter a seamless world where you are free to travel to any landmark you can see on the horizon.

coherence’s revolutionary network engine is being used to drive the game’s exciting cooperative multiplayer action in a game where players work together to find and craft ancient technology, build their own skyship and brave ferocious storms while exploring a shattered world of floating islands.

While coherence initially provided services only on its own managed server infrastructure, the recent 1.0 launch extends its multiplayer enablement to local and client-to-client networking. Bossa Games is using this functionality for Lost Skies, providing a high-quality solo or multiplayer experience which is hosted by the players, ensuring that Lost Skies is not dependent on any cloud or third party hosting service, and players will be able to benefit from coherence’s powerful multiplayer enablement in the confidence that their game is hosted independently and can be enjoyed for the long term, without the complexity or cost of a cloud-hosted managed service.

coherence also helps Bossa Games to offer players a huge, explorable open world in Lost Skies. coherence's World Origin Shifting - a technique allowing developers to build larger game worlds than traditional methods and game engines allows - allows game objects to be positioned precisely, relative to the player, over huge distances in the game world.

Up to 6 players can work together in player-hosted games supported by coherence and experience an ever-expanding world. After building their own skyship with an intricate ship-building system, players can even take to the skies together and engage in epic  boss fights against giant flying enemies.

coherence is a network engine designed to change the way multiplayer games are developed. It allows developers to have working prototypes running in a matter of minutes, allowing studios of all sizes to quickly test and build multiplayer titles. Its open, easy-to-use, and highly scalable offering aims to remove boundaries to multiplayer development and offer a powerful set of tools that can be taken advantage of by anyone, from big studios, to small indie teams.

“We are really excited to have such a well-respected studio in Bossa Games using coherence to bring a compelling title to the multiplayer universe,” said coherence co-founder Dino Patti. “They have adopted our technology and selected the features that met their needs to bring their dream game to life. Unleashing the creativity of our users and ridding them of the significant technical worries that have plagued multiplayer game dev before coherence is something that we are particularly proud of - it's exactly why we are building this revolutionary technology.”

“Our creative strategy at Bossa is to make the ‘us against the world’ genre of player-versus environment games the most fun possible for our community, whether they are playing solo or with friends,” said Bossa Games co-founder and gamer-in-chief Henrique Olifiers. “coherence offers us a powerful and flexible system for the multiplayer component of Lost Skies. And, by hosting games locally using peer-to-peer networking, coherence gives us a proven, low-cost and robust approach to networking that means we can concentrate on delivering a huge, engaging and constantly evolving world for players to create and explore with us.” 

Key Features:

• Adventure across a massive open world of unique, hand-crafted floating islands, with daunting weather walls dividing the sky into regions, each with their own visuals, resources, and wildlife to discover. With beautiful views of the cloudscape and a serene soundtrack, there is always room for some down time to take in the sights or build in peace.
• Play solo or with up to 6 players on player-hosted servers, and experience an ever-expanding world as Bossa Games and the community continuously add more islands to the game.
• Every island is filled with combat, discovery, and puzzling ancient technology for you to decipher, driving your exploration as you obtain loot and unlock paths to delve deeper into the islands where further mysteries await. Contend with both curious and hostile wildlife that has taken over the world in the absence of humans.
• Your grappling hook, glider, climbing ability, and more mobility options give you the freedom to explore the islands as you wish, taking full advantage of the game’s setting among the clouds. Uncover hidden underside caverns, swing to the top of the tallest spire—nowhere is off limits.
• Get inventive with an intricate ship-building system that allows you to shape every facet of your skyship—from the shape of the hull, to where each cannon will go, to furnishing the mess hall. Build up a single ship for yourself or your crew of friends over the course of your adventure, or each build your own ship as part of a fleet. You and your friends have limitless creative options for how you wish to explore the skies.
• An underlying physics engine impacts everything from your skyship’s flight to your character’s traversal. Decide whether you want a lightweight or lumbering design, and feel the forces of gravity as you leap to new places.
• Enjoy a survival experience focused on exploration and crafting. A flexible crafting system considers material weight and properties to impact the stats and physical attributes of crafted items. Balance your ship and equipment with the right materials to maximise their performance.
• Engage in epic naval-style boss fights. Take your skyship into tense battles and exchange cannon fire with the giant ancient beings responsible for the end of humanity. Each one will test the skills and technology you have accumulated so far, and hold the keys to travelling to the farthest corners of the world.
