Your stratospheric construction and adventure kit.

Windforge, an action platformer where you craft your equipment and build your very own airships to explore and conquer a procedurally-generated world hidden in the clouds, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $13.49 for the first week.

The modern way of life on Cordeus is reliant on refined Sky Whale oil. Everything from the machines used daily, to the food that is eaten, is ultimately dependent on the oil. The citizens of Cordeus are so hungry for oil that the once abundant population of Sky Whales is dwindling. At current rate, the noble species will face certain extinction in a few short years. To avoid falling back into the dark ages, civilization must find a new source of energy. It is said that an ancient people named the Aetherkin had exotic sources of energy. Energy more powerful than anything any human has ever seen. Unfortunately, research related to the Aetherkin is strictly forbidden by law. In an attempt to save humanity’s way of life, YOU have been secretly hired to uncover this ancient energy source.

Windforge is a side-scrolling block-building game where you explore hostile skies in an ever-changing Steampunk world. Everything you see can be created or destroyed, creating an RPG without barriers that rewards creative problem solving and improvisation. Take off in fully customizable airships, and embark on a journey of discovery and survival that will take you to the heart of the world and beyond. A large, completely destructible procedural world with multiple environments awaits! With over 1200 craftable items, Contra-style action, and an epic storyline and quests that drive gameplay without constricting freedom, this title can keep you busy you for countless hours. Plus, this is the first game to include minable sky whales, and meat blocks!

Mine, craft, explore, exploit, and reign over the skies with nothing--not even gravity--to limit your freedom in Windforge, for only $13.49 on GOG.com. The 10% off release discount offer lasts until Tuesday, March 18, at 10:59AM GMT.

Yeah
"The first game to include minable sky whales, and meat blocks."

Wow - the very first one, what an historic moment, I'm sure this trope will go on to be as an ubiquitous industry standard as health packs and spawn points o_O

seems to be old-timey black and white era indie day on GOG today! Good to see a healthy sized batch of interesting new toys to play with though!

Well, we cant say GOG doesn't releases interesting games at times :). (have to mull over this one)
I've gotta say that this looks pretty awesome!
Looks interesting, however I am not sure if this would run on my laptop as I am a noob with computers. If someone would like to help me, I would be very grateful. My computer specs are:

Intel Core i3-2310M
Intel HD Graphics 3000
6 GB of Ram

Thanks!
This looks crazy as all hell. Going to buy in a bit I think.

Looks like it might become a hit in Norway and Japan..... in Japan for research purposes only, obviously.
