Patch 0.8.4 - Keybindings, New Relics & Moving forward

Kickstarter was unsuccessful

Shuffled Sky did not meet its funding goal on Kickstarter, and because of this, we have also lost our music composer. The game must continue, it means I will have to try harder. Updates will be more chaotic moving forward.

You can read more on the update posted on Kickstarter itself.

Thank you, Thor

In a recent livestream, Thor from PirateSoftware, developer of Heartbound, checked out Shuffled Sky, discussing the kickstarter failure. We've seen a doubling of total wishlists for Shuffled Sky just that day! Thank you all for the kind words and support!
