Update 21: UI Improvements & Tiered Castle Splash ImagesApr 13, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello, Arrowers! 🏹 We've got a fresh new update for Sky Is Arrows, and while it's not the biggest content drop ever, it's one of those quietly transformative ones—the kind that makes the game feel better every time you touch it. Let’s dive into Update 21! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31486393/1e15f829252149af244351be22b1101032a73805.jpg Tiered Castle Splash Images When you recruit armies from your castle, you’ll now see something new: Gorgeous splash images for each faction’s castle—updated dynamically based on the castle's current tier. Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 castles now have their own unique artwork. That’s 3 images per faction, giving a visual reward as your stronghold grows. This brings a bit more world-building and beauty to a key part of the game loop. Consider it a visual "you’re progressing" moment, even between fights. UI Improvements – Cleaner, Crisper, Smarter Let’s be real: some of the UI elements were still living in the past. Cool 3D spins and tilted panels looked fun, but in practice? A little distracting. Here’s what we’ve improved: Removed 3D animation effects from 2D UI panels (no more unnecessary spinning or angled text boxes) Updated fonts across many parts of the interface for better readability and a cleaner aesthetic Overall, menus now feel more modern, more polished, and more Sky Is Arrows. This is part of an ongoing push to improve every part of the game experience. One New Loading Screen A small surprise: you may now occasionally load into the game with a new screen featuring the Necromancer—relaxing with her golden goblet, presumably full of something unspeakably cursed. Is she plotting something? Celebrating a successful rise-again loop? Who knows. But she looks good doing it. Still 11.1... Forever? Yes, this is technically version 11.1—just like the last update. Will it always be 11.1? Maybe. It’s a vibe now. What’s Next? I’m still listening. These UI improvements came directly from your feedback—and there’s more refinement to come. More cosmetic flavor, quality-of-life tweaks, and yes... some new content is brewing behind the scenes. Thanks for playing! You all are part of the design now, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. —Yale Creator of Sky Is Arrows Important News from the Sky: It Works & New Bundles!Mar 30, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello Arrowers, We’ve got some great news to share today, and I want to thank each and every one of you for sticking with Sky Is Arrows through thick and thin. 1.) It Works! We're Back in the Skies The game is now launching properly again for everyone! Thanks to the help of our amazing QA testers (and your bug reports!), we've tracked down the major issue that affected launch stability.

Here is the link to the All Item Chests + Game Bundle These bundles are also a great way to support ongoing development — every chest helps keep the world expanding! Your Reviews Matter More Than Ever Since Sky Is Arrows transitioned from Free to Paid this year, many older reviews are now hidden or weighted differently. This means recent reviews are extra important in helping new players discover the game. If you're enjoying the game, please consider leaving a review — even a short one helps immensely. In Closing The players — you — are what make Sky Is Arrows truly special. Every arrow loosed, every forge lit, every whisper in the lore is better because you're part of it.

We’ve pushed out a quick hotfix to clean up a few rough edges and add some visual polish. Nothing huge, but we think you’ll feel the difference. 🛠️ What's New: Engine Update – We've upgraded Unity to the latest version. This should resolve launch issues for some players and brings general stability boosts. Camera Distance – Pulled back slightly (from 25 to 30) to give a better view of your surroundings and help those sprites be crisp. Loading Screens – We've added even more loading screen artworks, and removed some that don't hit the standard. Hero Light – Your hero now has a subtle glow around them on the map, like they're carrying a torch or some light magic. Town Scene Tint – Adjusted the purple tone in the town scene in honor of the Ebonhare. Thanks for flying with us — more updates soon! 🏹 — The Sky Is Arrows TeamSky Is Arrows – Quick Hotfix Update 2 (Ebonhare Patch)Mar 22, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHey everyone! We've just pushed a quick hotfix build with some important improvements and updates — thank you all for your feedback and patience. Here's what’s included: Town Visual Update The town is now tinted purple in honor of the legendary Ebonhare Visage! A subtle visual tribute to those brave enough to stare into the abyss... Steam Launch Fixes We’ve made backend adjustments to resolve the issue with the game not launching properly from Steam for some players. If you're still experiencing issues, we’ve added a Test Branch: Right-click Sky Is Arrows in your Steam Library Select Properties → Betas Choose the "Test - Test" branch This version disables most lights in the Town scene, which may help avoid crashes on certain setups. Launching directly via the .exe may also work in the meantime. Cursor Size Fix The in-game cursor is now much smaller and cleaner, especially during early game sequences. No more jumbo arrow! Item Description Polish We've cleaned up various item descriptions and flavor texts for clarity, grammar, and consistency across the game. Expect a smoother, more immersive experience!

With gratitude, Yale Sky Is Arrows Developer Sky Is Arrows Pricing UpdateDec 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsSky Is Arrows: Pricing Update Hello Sky Is Arrows Community, There is some important news to share regarding the pricing of Sky Is Arrows. Starting in the new year January 1st 2025 Sky Is Arrows will be transitioning from a free-to-play model to a one-time purchase price of approximately $14.99. Why the Change? Although there was great exposure from the free version, not that many of DLC were purchased to support the free model. Having a base cost to the game is the best next step, the DLC prices will be lowered as well when this change takes effect. What Does This Mean for Current Players? Existing Players: If you have already downloaded and installed Sky Is Arrows before the price change, you will not be charged. The game will remain in your library and you will continue to receive all future updates and base content for free. New Players: After the transition date, new players will need to purchase the game for $14.99. Thank you for your understanding and for being a part of the Sky Is Arrows journey.

We've made significant improvements and addressed various issues to enhance your gaming experience. This patch also comes alongside the same day release of Sky Is Arrows - Dragon Bracer Item Chest DLC which adds 6 new items. (Version 1.4 and Dragon Bracer Item Chest are available for Windows currently.) Here are the highlights: Bug Fixes: Fixed the item chest bug, ensuring all chests can be opened or will be empty as intended. Fixed the problem with the ankh resurrecting the first spot in the army instead of the correct unit type when none of those units had died. Improved the functionality of the back and forth buttons in the lore section by adding a global cooldown, preventing players from skipping to the end by rapidly pressing the buttons. Fixed some text descriptions of units to fix typos in plural forms. Fixed the bug where the hot pitch from castles could cause performance issues when battles ended. Fixed the feasting particle effect from not despawning. Fixed a bug where it was possible to battle enemies at your castle by teleporting there at the right moment and then entering battle. Fixed the time display not showing hours. Fixed the unit attributes DPS to use the correct time scale. Fixed pressing Enter while editing your hero's name to submit the name. Fixed selecting units sometimes not displaying the correct name. Fixed a bug of unit details menu cutting off the text and not displaying some abilities.     {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31486393/0994db03789bc4c50de0e3cca182ad050fe5fec7.png Gameplay, Features, and Balance Adjustments: All heroes are now instantly unlocked and playable, giving players more freedom in their hero selection. Reduced the speed of enemy attacking armies on the map to enhance player control and strategy. Added 35+ all new unit portraits for each unit Added a backstory to the Sky Is Arrows universe that can be accessed from the main menu. Added 48+ new portraits for the various castles and randomly generated castle names. Added an embarking bonus that has several options from the character selection screen. Defending your castle now grants a free ballista with an 8-second cooldown between bolts, providing additional defensive options. Rebalanced the difficulty, with enemy armies and heroes now receiving a +20% health and +3% attack increase per act. This adds a more steady difficulty boost while still retaining the core difficulty over time mechanic. Reduced the impact of enemy army boosts by removing direct improvements to damage and defense, and slight nerfs to their normal effects. Now enemy boosts are rebalanced to work separately but together with per act difficulty to increase the difficulty of enemies. More boosts over time, and more health and attack bonus % directly progressively while advancing acts. Introduced the option to start on any random tileset in Act 1, allowing fo...Update: What's Next? & PricingAug 22, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello and thank you to all supporters of Sky Is Arrows! For playing the game, making review videos, and giving feedback. This update is to outline upcoming next steps for Sky Is Arrows: 1. Pricing: The price will be set to FREE on September 3rd 2022. This will help to grow the player base of Sky Is Arrows as it is nearing it's 5 year anniversary. Thank you to everyone who bought the game for $10 as that has been it's price all this time except for sales. Paid DLC content will be released at some time later to add more content to the game and a source of revenue. 2. Next Patch (v1.4) The plans for the second major patch for Sky Is Arrows (v1.4) are outlined here: Fix Known Bugs: ITEM CHEST BUG: Occasional bugged item chest that doesn't let you purchase an item (current workaround is to go into combat and then revisit the bugged chest) This is the worst bug in the game and is a must-fix STALEMATE BUG: Rare situation Ex. Your castle is under siege with no ability to hit flying units (towers destroyed and no hero present,) meanwhile the attackers can't hit ground units TOO REGULAR BUG: Regular axes appear too often in available item rotation UI RESIZE BUG: Changing resolution works but could be better in some situations LOCKED HEROES BUG: The unlocking of heroes doesn't work quite correctly and will be removed and allow for instant access of all heroes in 1.4 RIGHT CLICK HEADBUTT: Sometimes right clicking will make the unit walk into the enemy instead of attacking properly (current workaround is to attack move with A and click or move to locations and let auto attack happen) Balance and Features: ATTACKERS TOO MEAN: Attackers although working as intended will receive at least a slight reduction to their movement speed or another similar rework to make them less powerful FORCE TUTORIAL: Possibly the start button should prompt to watch tutorial slides if they have not been viewed. Info slide should be added to explain all heroes have a free ability that hits ground and flying units SANDBOX / DIFFICULTY LEVELS: Because Sky Is Arrows is a time focused game naturally you will not get a good score while first learning. This is because of the time it takes to learn the game, read all the tooltips, and gauge the units. To solve this steep learning curve along with wanting to keep the core game mechanic of difficulty over time some options can be explored Plus other improvements may be implemented. 3. Paid DLC Paid DLC idea is to add 2-3 items, and 1-2 units per DLC, level themes etc for $2.99 or so each. These will unlock in the game and will be randomly distributed just as normal items would be and will have the same balance applied. While keeping the main core of the game FREE! Thanks for reading this and staying up-to-date with Sky Is Arrows and 2,000 Damage. Good luck dodging arrows on your next run! Best, Yale
