Welcome to the launch of the Remnants of Skystone development blog! Since the initial game announcement last October, we’ve been fairly quiet about game details — but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy! As we’re moving along in development, we thought it would be a nice opportunity to share what we’re working on and shed a little light on some aspects of the game.

What exactly is Remnants of Skystone? It’s an upcoming side-scrolling platformer playable online, which also includes MMO and community elements. We’re lucky enough to be working with Kongregate as part of their Premium Game Program, and RoS will be one of the first batch of Premium Games to launch exclusively on their site this year.

In the game, players enter a world in which alien Mimics had long ago infested the land and spread their noxious poison throughout the countryside. The people of Skystone retreated to an airborne town high above the poison haze, and are now ready to launch their attack on the Mimic infestation.

Players can customize their own fighter — choosing from three classes each with unique abilities — to explore areas on the ground and exterminate the Mimic threat. Players can also mingle with others in the airborne town, and team up with another player for co-op adventures on the ground. Each player also starts the game with their own dwelling, and can furnish their home with store-bought goods and adventuring spoils. Players can visit others’ houses to chat, and to rate their decorating style.

We’ve got more information in store for the launch of the blog, so read on if you’re interested in learning more. Our galleries contain some early concept art and mockups if you’re interested in a sneak peek, and you can keep up-to-date with our blog entries by signing up for email updates or checking the RSS feed.

Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you’ll come back for more as we update!
