About the Demo

This is a flight demo for a game I'm building on my own: a survival flight sim about keeping a chain of remote Nordic islands supplied by air. The full game is about cargo, weather, and a patched-up aircraft you have to keep alive.

This prototype is about one thing: how it feels to fly. It's a free flight sandbox with no deliveries and no objectives. Take off, look around, and push the aircraft to see how it responds.


What's in the Demo

  • Full flight physics: aerodynamic surfaces that respond to speed, angle, and control input.
  • G-force: hard maneuvers have a real effect on the aircraft.
  • Dynamic fault system: parts can fail, and you'll have to deal with it in the air.
  • Fuel: a finite supply that you watch more closely the farther you fly.
  • Interactable cockpit: the controls and instruments are part of the aircraft, not a UI layer.
  • Dynamic crash and damage: high speed, high altitude, and scratches and scrapes all leave their mark.
  • Day/night cycle and dynamic clouds: visual only in this build, but they set the mood.

What's Not in the Demo

  • Engine assembly and maintenance
  • Cargo jobs, quests, and the economy
  • Delivery points with an unique lore
  • Weather that affects flight (the clouds are visual only for now)

These are part of the full game and will come later. This build is only the flying.

Feedback

This is an early prototype, so bugs are likely. If something breaks, feels wrong, or feels great, I'd like to hear about it. Please leave a comment on this page or you can contact me via socials (including email). If you can, tell me what you were doing when it happened.

Support the Dev

I'm making this game by myself, and this demo is free. If you enjoyed the flight and would like to help me keep working on it, you can buy me a coffee. There's no pressure at all. Playing the demo and telling me what you think helps just as much.

Thanks for flying!
