Jimlad 42 - Skye's Repose @jimlad42.bsky.social · Jan 24

Hello there.
I'm working on Skye's Repose, an exploration farm-sim set on the flying isles of Skye.
Explore the forgotten ruins of this land, learn how to befriend the Mages who left so long ago, and perhaps find your own way off of these isolated islands.

Hello there.
Sorry for the radio silence, I've had an exhausting month. Steam is coming soon, now that everything is actually up-to-date.
I haven't slowed work on Skye's Repose, though! Including more puzzles.

Hello there.
I'm starting work on my Steam Page for Skye's Repose!
And to distract myself from this process, I've started prettying up the environment with arches and new structures and secrets.

Hello there.
Week two of environmental showcases.
Here's the Elemental Pond near the start of the game. The perfect place to watch a sunset according to Ori, the Mage of Water.

Hello there.
I haven't shown off the environment of Skye's Repose lately, so for the next few weeks I'll show off different islands in the Garden of Skye!
Here's the Desert from above, home of Claudia O'Malley.

Hello there.
I'd been struggling with some visuals because I just didn't have any ideas, but I think i found the perfect visuals! But what could this primordial pool be used for?

Hello there.
When stuck in another realm, how do you give your friends gifts to show your appreciation? Why, by finding cracks in reality of course!

Hello there
I have not been active in far too long... Peopling is hard.
Anyway, here's the new passage from the starting area to the desert! But... How do you get past that...?

Hello there
So... I was going to be done for the day, but then I had an idea for the Dark Forest. I whipped the test up in 15 minutes, and the day/night part of it done in exactly one hour.
Bit late for #ScreenshotSaturday, I guess #ShowMeSunday?

Hello there.
I've been expanding my islands, and working on new characters. The Mage of Darkness seems a little disoriented, but I'm sure he'll be fiiiine.

Hello there.
I've changed how you reach the Forest island to something a bit more mystical than a wooden bridge.
