AMA: we’re Failbetter Games, developers of Sunless Skies!


Hello, r/games! We’re Failbetter Games, makers of Sunless Sea, Fallen London and now Sunless Skies (Steam/GOG), which leaves Early Access today – in just a couple of hours!​Sunless Skies is a cosmic horror RPG with a focus on exploration and exquisite storytelling. It's set in our Fallen London universe; Queen Victoria has dragged London into the heavens, and the Empire unfolds across the sky. Can your captain survive the skies with only a space-locomotive and a head full of bad ideas? P.S. there are also scones and cricket.​We’ve been hard at work on the game since it met its funding target on Kickstarter in the first four hours back in February 2017. It’s our largest and most ambitious game yet, and after just over two years in development, a period gathering feedback in early access and a couple of delays, we’ve been delighted by the really positive reviews.​One of our goals this time round was to make a game for the people who wanted to like Sunless Sea, but were put off by the amount of repetition or some of its weaker gameplay elements. Of course, we hope that people who enjoyed the first game will like this one as well!Here's who'll be answering your questions:Paul Arendt, creative director and artist – paul_arendtChris Gardiner, narrative director – ChrisGardinerHannah Flynn, communications director – failbettergamesAdam Myers, project lead – wastebooksWe'll be around until 1900 GMT. Please ask us anything about our games, interactive storytelling, choice and consequence, or being an indie developer in 2019! via /r/Games http://bit.ly/2sYKhq4
