An airship trading and combat simulator, set in the wake of a Great Sky War that ripped through the steampunk world of Spheara – Airship: Kingdoms Adrift is now available on GOG with a -20% discount!

An uneasy cease-fire holds between the Aecerlian Kingdom, the New Viridian Republic, and the Teutonic Confederation. As they lick their wounds, their suddenly jobless soldiers and skyfarers look for new opportunities among the desolation.

Enter the Suthseg Archipelago. A far-flung frontier ruled by an aging king, it was spared from devastation of war and is a land full of riches and opportunity. It is here that fortunes will be made, loyalties tested, and skyfaring captains will get the rare chance to carve out a future of their own.

You are one of these captains, commissioned to establish a trading company in the Archipelago, and soon pulled into a game of grand politics… and grave danger.

Expect a story of politics and intrigue, customizable and upgradable 25 various airships, a crew of officers among 25 distinct personalities (each with their own abilities and personal stories to tell), exploration and trading across a vast archipelago with 70 locations and over 300 types of trade goods, setting up camps, mines, and factories, to create a mighty industrial empire producing goods and equipment and dominate the economy, and more!

Airship: Kingdoms Adrift is OUT NOW!
Looks very interesting, thanks Freedom Games and GOG!
Please bring the War Corvettes DLC to the store too.

This game looks like it will be pretty nice, but I'd still like to see Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies here.
Battles seem 2D (plane-bound). Oversimplification for an air-to-air combat, i.e. why not have the setting at sea level (water-to-water ship combat) instead?

Hydrodynamics are not the same as aerodynamics, so i don't really get why would anyone design an airship that looks exactly like a regular sea ship.

Steam page uses the words "exclusive starter ships", so I wouldn't hold my breath much.
Pity.

Exclusive does only mean, they are not included anywhere else. It seems like a usual DLC.
I find it sad that it is becoming common on GOG for DLCs to be missing from games. Especially soudtrack DLCs which are then added much later, or not.

This was exactly my first thought. After being slightly fascinated by the title the trailer made me lose interest. An airship combat game with airships in the style of the zeppelins of olde would be fantastic though. Why isn't Air Power here on GOG already by the way?

Looks fun, I'd love to check it out. But clearly they don't want to sell it here at all, since, even on release date, it's missing content available elsewhere. Why do game-makers love to shoot themselves in their own feet so often? It's like they're intentionally looking for future reasons not go release/update on GOG.
In the latest trailer on Steam it says in the description that the DLC War Corvettes is exclusive to Steam.

Maybe we get it in the future but won't hold my breath, is a shame.

The it is a hard pass for me, although it would have been a buy on release candidate.
I don't see anything that says it's exclusive to Steam. Do you know that for sure? The description might be poorly worded and mean those starter ships are exclusive to the add-on. War Corvettes was just recently released, but that doesn't mean it won't be coming here. The developer and/or publisher probably want to make as much money as they can before allowing GOG to sell it. If there aren't enough people willing to buy the game here then it could very well mean the add-on isn't coming to GOG.

The game runs in Windows 7, in case anyone is wondering.

On the other hand, what incentive we have to buy it here at all?

Right now, what we get is the base game, and a best guess on whether or not DLC will make it here as well. It doesn't warrant any sort of good faith at all. Maybe following suit, future DLCs won't make it to here either? Or maybe any updates at all? It's all in the air.

So risking purchasing product that might as well not be maintained at all, why should we buy it on GOG, if we can go to the other storefront and get it updated, maintained and feature complete?

There should be parity, regardless of whether it's gauging interest in the platform, or planning to keep all platforms maintained equally, OR planning to put an incomplete release up and take a dump on everything for that matter.
