Trying to advertise my game to gen alpha with deltarune and petscop references

8 Oct 2025

Skyless 1.6 is here, available to everyone! Including a ton of bug fixes, a new secret world, new pages to the Garden Grimorika, new items, and a black hole. skylessblind.itch.io/skylessblind

8 Oct 2025

Much of this was initially going to be part of the "Steam update," I decided to split it up because I'm moving across the country and I'm not going to be able to use my computer for a bit, so I wanted you guys to have at least a few new features until I can finish the rest.

The first batch of digital goodies are out! KS backers can check their KS dms for HD wallpapers and art. More coming soon <3

22 Aug 2025

Skyless is coming to steam soon btw! Only reason it hasn't yet is because I want to have one more free content update first with a few features that I didn't have time for before the initial beta release. I want the game to be the best shape it can be in when it goes live on Steam 💙

Ever been to a void reef before?

1 Aug 2025

Working on one last free update to launch with the steam release! It'll include more pages to the garden grimorika, expansions to the ice shell moon and solprovenant ruins, tons of bug fixes and maybe even a new secret world. After that, updates will be KS backer exclusive 💜

This will mostly just content that I wanted to have ready for the beta release but had to cut due to time. So, things that are needed to make me feel satisfied with the beta as its own release essentially.

I know a lot of people want maps in Skyless, but I'll probably never add them. When lost it's easy to feel frustrated, so you think having a map would be a better experience. But what you don't *consciously* feel is the loss of mystery and scale when you *do* have a map. (1/5)

View full thread

Even in games that hide markers or borders until you've been in that location, once you've made your way there and get a map that location still instantly loses much of its mystique. There's no way around this, maps are antithetical to creating a sense of discovery. (4/5)

I actually do have maps of all the worlds. I want the locations to feel real and to fit together coherently so I use maps for design purposes. But I'll probably never put those in game bc it works against the feelings I want to create. Being lost is part of the experience.

Once you know where the borders of a world are it loses its mystique. Not only because you know where things are, but because once you can see the entire world as a little piece of paper in front of you it psychologically feels smaller, even if it's not small at all. (2/5)

That's just how the human mind interprets scale. When you don't know where things are they could be anywhere, there could be new mysteries around any corner, and so that's how it'll feel. When you know where the borders are that mystery is gone, and everything feels small. (3/5)

I'm sorry, what?

@xdnighthawkxd.bsky.social Just teasing, enjoyed the stream :) However I will confirm that if you could quantify the amount of inspiration Skyless pulls from undertale with a number, it'd be in the negatives

Going through some art I made when I was laying groundwork for the universe that would become Skyless back when I was a teenager. I don't usually make concept art because I'd rather just make the thing I'm conceptualizing, so this is the closest thing Skyless has to it 🧵

We made the archeology stretch goal and then went even further just before the end of the campaign!! Thank you all so much, this has been insane. I don't really have the words to express what this means to me. This is just the beginning! Now I get to finish the game ❤️

Live on twitch, come say hi! Less than 3 hours of the campaign left!

nightmargin@nightmargin.bsky.social

Our last Skyless Blind stream before the kickstarter campaign ends in 2 hours! Come join the party! www.twitch.tv/nightmargin

Hey just want to announce that we have decided to enable late pledges to the kickstarter! Late pledges are more expensive and only a few tiers will be available to be backed late, so you should back the game before the campaign ends if you can! But that will be an option if you can't ❤️

The main reason we want to have this is so more people can get access to the beta updates if they want, since many people who come in later won't have had the chance to get in on that. That and one or two other tiers will be available, most will not

Botany/gardening is funded!! You guys are insane, thank you so much ❤️ Next up is archeology/paleontology! excavate fossils of ancient extinct creatures and the remains of long-forgotten civilizations from eons past. The campaign has FOUR HOURS to go! GO GO GO!!

kickstarter.comSkyless Blind - a stylized cosmic horror exploration gameTravel through the starlit ruins of a shattered cosmos

Fossil-based weaponry, primordial cloaks and masks, revived extinct species for new familiars, and much more are all on the table. Let's make this happen! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky...

If we reach the botany goal, you'll be able to grow alien plants in your home for new materials, consumables, growable familiars, plant-based weaponry and cloaks, and potentially a plant-related mask!

Near@skylessblind.bsky.social

We've funded our third stretch goal! ✨ You guys are seriously incredible, this game is going to be massive. Next is botany 🌱 You'll be able to grow strange alien plants in your home for their mysterious properties! I want to add this so bad... www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky...

Replying to @skylessblind.bsky.social

Going to be doing one last stream tomorrow before the end of the Kickstarter campaign! Hope to see you all there ❤️

nightmargin@nightmargin.bsky.social

TOMORROW will be the last day of Skyless Blind's kickstarter campaign, and we have a countdown stream for the final hours! See y'all there! www.twitch.tv/nightmargin

The next stretch goal has been funded!🥳The Sunless Garden magic system is getting an expansion, and a new hidden world is coming ✨ Next up is multiple new hidden worlds, and a bunch of new pets! We're less than a thousand away! Come on, do it for the animals... They yearn for existence ;-;

skylessblind.itch.ioFunded! Stretch goals + new patchSkyless Blind is now fully funded on Kickstarter!! Thank you all so, so much for the support you've given us, I really can't express how I feel right now. None of this would have been possible without...

By the way, uploaded a new version to itch the other day with a bunch of important bug fixes, and auto save file transfers! (it actually works this time woohoo!) skylessblind.itch.io/skylessblind...

New tier on the Kickstarter. This is for a joke in the discord server but if anyone is insane enough to single handedly fund essentially all of the stretch goals I will do this.

I have a bunch of spells currently programed into the ritual circle system but haven't added their respective pages to the spell book yet so right now the only way to try and figure it out is by trail and error I'm so sorry lmao. I'll add those pages to a free update soon

Next up is an expanded sunless garden magic system, and a new hidden world! For those who don't know, a location called the Sunless Garden has a ritual circle magic system that allows you to craft certain items, summon entities, and more. But it has a lot of room for expansion...

Near@skylessblind.bsky.social

We've successfully funded the fishing mechanic stretch goal!

The expanded magic system will include summonable lovecraftian entities to converse and debate philosophy with, more possessed weapons, magic cloaks, a possessed mask, and more 💚https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skylessblind/skyless-blind-a-stylized-pixel-art-cosmic-horror-game?ref=user_menu

We've successfully funded the fishing mechanic stretch goal!

To new backers, I'll be sending out a KS message later today with a link to download the OneShot crossover update! For previous backers, I'll also be sending out a link with a version that has a fix to the "scrip f12 disable" error message some people are getting. Sorry!

Skyless Blind is now fully funded on KS, so we're introducing some stretch goals! If you want to see this game grow even bigger, we would love to have your support <3 (I really, really want to add some of these)

Skyless Blind is fully funded on KickStarter 💜 Thank you all so, so much, this means everything to me. The amount of enthusiasm this community has shown has literally brought me to tears. We'll be rolling out stretch goals soon, we still have a few days to go even further 🚀
