Build your sky world. Restart civilization. Cloud Dwellers is now available in Early Access!

After a long wait, it’s finally here.

We’ve always loved the idea of “building something from nothing.” That’s how Cloud Dwellers started — a broken but hopeful floating island world.

At the very beginning, it was just three of us talking about a small idea. Step by step, we turned it into something real — a world you can actually explore. Before we knew it, four years had passed.

It wasn’t an easy journey. Some players felt worried, some had doubts — which is totally understandable after such a long wait. Over these four years, a lot has changed — in the world, in life, and in this game.

But now, we’re finally ready to say this:

Your journey in the floating world begins today.

Thank you for being here. We’re really excited to explore this world together with you.

Cloud Dwellers launches in Early Access on April 17, 2026. There is a 12% launch discount for the first two weeks.

This version already has a lot of content:

· Resource gathering

· Base building

· Character growth

· Exploration and puzzles

Right now, the game includes:

· 100+ buildable structures

· Hundreds of craftable items

· 4 tiers of technology

Based on our testing, the Early Access version offers around 30–80 hours of gameplay, depending on your playstyle.

Every run is a bit different. Every build, every discovery can lead to something new.

What you can experience in the current version:

Improved core gameplay

We’ve upgraded all core systems. There are now more than 100 structures, more resource points, and smoother animations. Everything — gathering, crafting, building — feels more fluid and immersive.

Full tech tree available

The full tech tree is open from the start. There are 4 tiers with multiple branches, covering building, resources, and exploration. You can choose different development paths based on your playstyle.

Procedurally generated islands

Every world is randomly generated. Island shapes, resource locations, and points of interest are different each time. Each playthrough feels unique.

Exploration & puzzles

The floating world is full of mysteries. You’ll explore islands hidden in the clouds, find clues, and solve puzzles. Every discovery can unlock new areas or mechanics.

“Spectral Energy” system (幽波系统)

We added different types of energy with different functions. They can power your machines or be used creatively in your base.

You can:

· Split energy

· Redirect it

· Combine it

· Break it down

This system lets you design your own setups freely.

Character progression

Each character can grow in different ways. You don’t need to make them perfect — just specialize them.

You can improve stats by:

· Equipping gear

· Studying in the library

· Using special facilities

Focus on strengths and build your own team.

New movement options

Walking everywhere is slow — we know that.

Now you can build ziplines to move quickly between islands. There are also other movement upgrades waiting for you to discover.

More decorations

We’ve added more decorative items. You can customize your base and make your floating home feel more personal.

We will keep improving the game after launch. If you find bugs or have suggestions, feel free to tell us.

You can join our DICORD. We’d love to hear your feedback and ideas.
