My Skies of Arcadia senses were tingling. Best game. Ever.
Bloody shame the marketing was crap and it died before they got the PC version out.

On topic, I've seen promising things about a 2D indie game called Windforge. Its... sort of steampunk. Singleplayer and currently in... beta I think? It has ship customization building and an open world I believe. Looked like it was in an enjoyable state as well.

According to the steam page it's now out of beta,good thing to,I would've ignored it if it was early access,I'll be trying it out.

There's flying heroes, but that was more of a unreal tournament with flying things.

Stratosphere would fit. It's pretty old and not exacly about airships... but i think you should check it out anyway.

Basically you manually build a flying island/fortress out of power generators batteries and large assortment of weapons/gadgets and try to survive the tough as nails campaign.
I remember playing the demo of this long ago and I'm tempted to try to find it when I get the time. Would you say it's still good or decent?

The only problem is Stratosphere is nearly impossible to find. From what I saw, while it's offered for sale by some retailers, at least the one on Amazon will cancel because they don't actually have the product any longer.


this! I loved that game but can't remember the name

Man, I played the shit out of the demo back in the day.  One of the best design concepts that actually got made.  REALLY want to play the full version...

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Well,while searching around on steam I found a game that may or may not scratch that itch I've been having,called Windforge,while it's not exactly what I might've been looking for (seeing how it's sidescrolling) I'm willing to take a chance with it.

Can't say i played it ages ago. I just remembered the game when i saw the topic.
As for if its good or bad... i think it generally got reviews areound 7/10 so it was arther good.
Also note that the only thing i remember about the campaign is that it is balls hard.

What about "Project Nomads"?

OK, you don't actually pilot an airship... but a floating island. It's also a bit old and I never played it myself but IIRC the setting is pretty steampunk-like.

Might worth a look?

(Also, am I just trippin or did a very similar topic pop up on this forums mere days ago? Maybe I just need to get some sleep...)

I've noticed a pattern going around lately,the older the game the better the gameplay the more recent the game is the better graphics you get.
