Greetings scientists,
Forever Skies: Echoes Part 2 can now be played by all on our beta flight experimental branch!
SAVES
Instructions on how to join beta_flight can be found by clicking HERE
We always recommend keeping your beta saves and main game saves separate, just in case there are any differences between the main game and the beta. More info on how to manage your beta saves can be found in the same “how to” link above.
A lot of you will already have a beta save or two. If you plan to use the same beta save file that you used previously, that's totally fine, but be advised that it will only work if the save is from the 1.0 build or later. Beta saves from Early Access builds won’t be compatible with this update.
Starting from the beginning isn’t required; you can use your previous beta save.
OVERVIEW
ICYMI: This is part 2 of our 3-part update, where we are working with your feedback to bring more diversity and reason to explore our world. This second part focuses mostly on biome 2. You can check out our planned roadmap on our previous blog: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1641960/view/556882414728642713?l=english
This update is probably the smallest of the three parts, as previously stated, but it still includes some pretty cool additions, like new landmarks, moth breeding mechanics, a new Trash Can item & 3 side quests for biome 2. The official release will also include the return of the Frozen Wishes limited-time event (yes, it's that time already!), complete with cool new festive-themed rewards!
More news on the official release to follow.
Please keep in mind that, as with all beta builds, this content is still a work-in-progress. You will still notice bugs as well as placeholder texts, textures & icons. These assets are not yet in their final look/state. There will be more added to Echoes Part 2 for its official release, including the Frozen Wishes Limited Time Event, numerous bug fixes, updated texts, more polish and performance improvements.
