Kickstarter was unsuccessful

Shuffled Sky did not meet its funding goal on Kickstarter, and because of this, we have also lost our music composer. The game must continue, it means I will have to try harder. Updates will be more chaotic moving forward.

You can read more on the update posted on Kickstarter itself.

Thank you, Thor

In a recent livestream, Thor from PirateSoftware, developer of Heartbound, checked out Shuffled Sky, discussing the kickstarter failure. We've seen a doubling of total wishlists for Shuffled Sky just that day! Thank you all for the kind words and support!
