The Falconeer, a Gorgeous "Airborne Ocean-World Fantasy RPG", Coming to PC and Xbox at the Series X Launch

Getting Warhawk Vibes... orginal PS3 concept.
My GOD your game would look Beautiful on an OLED TV, in the dark.
It's a completely flying experience, you get to land off course but then shopping and talking to npc's is done thru an interface while you'r "perched"
I'm currently working on the Xbox One. And it's my main benchmark, 60fps or bust. going well so far.
Hopefully it's X enhanced at a higher resolution with a locked 60fps.
I have a One X. :)

Game looks great and it's awesome to have you here giving udpates!!!
Thanks man, Too be honest It's what I enjoyed very much from my modding days (Moonpath to elsweyr, for skyrim, if anyone still remembers that), the fact that you could have a conversation with your players..
So this dev cycle is a little less public(with modding anyone could play the work in progress) that's sadly not practical now. But I do enjoy sharing and conversing pre-release about features and gameplay and whatnot.
So glad to be here.
falconeerdev Any hope of a photomode for the final release?
[/QUOTE]
It's a given, It's just super enjoyable, especially in a high action combat moment, pause it,, zoom around, watching the fireworks go off.
I've got some basic features for photomode now, the controls are still a bit wonky, as they extrapolate from your actual game cam, But you got all axis of movement, FOV and nightcycle control. That will all definetly be in the final build for users to enjoy and share from. Anything on top of that I can't confirm right now.

Hi Everyone here are some updates from development. True content creation has now started with proper missions, battlemaps and more varied combat situations and goals such as escorting battleships into combat. Love to hear what you think, also is this an appropriate format for intermittent updates.
We're working on that as we speak, I'd like as much voice as possible, but it brings with a load of complications, especially as unlike say a 3rd person action adventure, the cast here is a lot more diverse, as in rpg territory.
But Battlemaps specifcally are the ideal sequences to be voices, so those seem very very likely.
Expect more news on this in the near future, with some cool announcements.

The Falconeer on Steam
Soar through the skies aboard a majestic warbird, explore a stunning oceanic world and engage in epic aerial dogfights, in this BAFTA-nominated air combat game from solo developer, Tomas Sala.
Hi everyone another update:
Just a reminder the Falconeer is now on steam, wishlist if you like what you see, and you are tangibly helping with bringing the game forward!
Development update:
The focus the last couple of weeks has still been on improving the content variations , specifically through ship combat. So here are some screens of that:
There are 4 main factions, and they have their own vessels, but also their own level of technology. (technology isn't a linear progression in this world).
it's all late sail/early steam era. With one dreadnaught playing a big role in the story, ushering in a new age. I kinda dig historical ships;)
The Mancer order is the faction controlling knowledge and technology, they have a fairly unorthodox ideology. Their play is to control kings and warlords by handing out permits and tools for specific technologies, while keeping the dangerous stuff hidden away in their vaults. Their ships are more mythical, and designed to inspire fear of technology as much as they are powerful in itself.
When put together complex battles are a possibility, as well as co-opting the surface vessel code for some cool sea-monsters!
That covers the last 2 weeks with the exception of the exciting news that The Falconeer is going to be playable at PAX East!
hope to see some of you there! Shipping up to Boston!

you can start with the official trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94dIpbxlj6A&feature=youtu.be
or my dev channel, which has a smattering of development snippets: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSqvI3YQEeLRGJUqx22S3-A?view_as=subscriber
but that comes with the caveat that there are also a lot of very old video's on there, that might not look as polished as it does now ;)
yeh I understand that, In this case microsoft was instrumental in making this possible, so I'm really grateful for that. That said I love switch as well, and sometimes good things come with time. ;)

Really looking forward to this. It's gorgeous and I've been itching for a more arcadey flight game lately.

Sixth Axis preview:
Taking to the skies of The Falconeer’s fantasy world of aerial combat | TheSixthAxis
Fight and flight.

It's an xbox-first title,, meaning it will launch on Xbox and PC at the same time, but that excludes early acces. so none of that sadly
Actually this is good. My only interest on early access is because prices are lower in general.
HI everyone another update!
I have been working on lots of things, but one particularly nice one where some bigger "towns" to flesh out the world
here's a snippet of that in flight
Also quite important is some new moves to improve the bird's agility , it includes an emergency dive and airbrake.
And for this interested I have a long history with skyrim modding, and the Nexus mods did an interview on that topic and the journey to The Falconeer:
And a litte WIP work on unlocking lesser shrines:
See you at PAX!
