In the absence of any real information, why not share fanart for an early access game still in closed alpha?

This, my darling, is the Zybourne Clock.

Wait, does this game have cartoon duck people?

Latest post was three days ago: https://www.worldsadrift.com/blog/alpha-4-beyond/

quote:

Hello traveller! It�s been a busy month for us here at Bossa Studios. We ran our Alpha 4.0 playtest just over a month ago, and then Alpha 4.1 a couple of weeks ago. In our last blog post, we shared the experiences of some of our testers, in particular one crew�s journey through a storm wall. Those are the kinds of stories we want you to tell through Worlds Adrift � they�re at the heart of why we�re making this game.

We also got a ton of feedback from players � some we expected, and some we didn�t! What definitely took us by surprise was the incredible turnout, and we couldn�t have done it without our longtime alpha testers that have been with us since the very beginning, as well as the new players we brought in this cycle, and everybody in between. So again, big thanks to all of you, from us � especially those of you who faithfully tested the queue under load (and helped us find a nasty bug in the loading screen!).

Alpha 4.1 only ran for a brief 48 hours, but soon we�ll want to run one that lasts for a lot longer; that�ll give us valuable information about how the world behaves after multiple server maintenance events, as well as find out how players play when they�re not incredibly time constrained. A lot of longterm gameplay features are coming soon, and won�t really receive any decent testing if we don�t give you time to experience them properly.

Speaking of which, we�re now working hard to finish adding some key features to the game, in preparation for the fifth round of alpha testing. You�ll be happy to hear sails are coming in, which should considerably change the early game experience. Another feature that just missed the cutoff for Alpha 4 is the revamped multitool � now renamed the gauntlet. We�re generally much happier with how it feels to harvest, salvage, and repair with the gauntlet now, and hopefully you�ll agree.

Next, perhaps the most anticipated feature for months now will make its debut in Alpha 5: the new and revamped shipyard, which allows players to shape their own ship hulls. We�re all really looking forward to all the awesome designs players will come up with to crash the server fill the skies. And finally, a ton of changes in response to your Alpha 4 feedback have been planned, some of which will be a quick enough turnaround to make it into Alpha 5.

That�s all from us this week! Next week Jack will be blogging a bit about male characters � oh yeah, that�s another thing coming in Alpha 5� grapple on, and safe travels.

Bolded the only important bits.

Ashrik: Feb 9, 2009; WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.

I've seen multiple videos now of players shaping their own ship hulls with that grid system- has that not been in ~~beta/~~alpha testing?

# ? Sep 27, 2016 08:46

pertinent: Apr 3, 2009

It wasn't in the latest alpha run, but they've been demonstrating it in a few videos now, so I'm guessing eventually it'll be stable enough to be included in the player client.

I think we can all strive for elegant efficiency in our dongships. Everyone knows it's not size that matters.

Add a sharp door that cuts ships in half after they enter, call it the Dentata fleet.

fans are discussing "proper etiquette when encountering unknown vessels"

quote:

MeisterKeen: I think a rule, when approaching any vessel in a friendly way, should be to approach slowly at half power, and at same altitude.
Swift-Sausage: If you do it right, gliders barely lose altitude in flight, combined with a grapple maneuver to launch you into the air you can reach a nearby ship at the same altitude as you.
MeisterKeen: Same altitude means both ships are taking equal risk: no advantage either way
MeisterKeen: Good point on the gliders, though
MeisterKeen: I suppose a respectful distance between two ships would be something barely within glider range. If you see a boarding action coming your way you have plenty of time to react
MeisterKeen: Also! Gliders are a risk for the person doing the gliding: there's a word for a flying target; "skeet"
