    Burning Skies Arcade Will Be Retired on April 27

    All DLCs are now free you can get them directly from the store pageAdd the game and DLC to your library before that date to keep it forever.After careful consideration, I decided to retire the Arcade version. It was starting to cause confusion with the main Burning Skies game, and as a solo developer, it’s difficult to properly support two separate versions at the same time.Burning Skies Arcade was originally created as a simpler experience meant to represent the full game, but I also wanted it to be more engaging than the typical “epilogue-style” versions some games offer.Over time, the main game evolved into something much bigger and different, which made the Arcade version less aligned with what Burning Skies has become.It was still an important step in this journey. I learned a lot from it, and since then I’ve significantly improved the overall experience, and as a gamedev.If you want to continue following the project, you can check the main game here(it has a free demo that you can download now)Thank you to everyone who played and supported the game.— Paulo

    🔥 Burning Skies Demo – Coming December 9th

    Hey everyone, After a long time in development, I’m finally excited to announce that the Burning Skies Demo will be available on December 9th! This project has been a huge part of my life for quite some time. I’ve spent countless hours building, testing, breaking, and refining every little piece to make the gameplay feel fast, chaotic, and satisfying — just like the classic shooters that inspired it. It’s been a tough but incredibly rewarding process, and I’m really proud of how far it’s come. The demo marks the first time players will finally be able to jump in and experience the chaos firsthand. It’s just a small glimpse of what’s coming, but it already captures the spirit of what I’ve been working toward: pure, high-energy arcade action in a world on fire. 🔥 Play the demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4054040/Burning_Skies_Demo/ 🚀 Wishlist the full game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1915690/Burning_Skies/ I can’t wait to see your reactions, hear your feedback, and keep improving the game together with the community. Thanks to everyone who’s been following my work and supporting NukGames — your encouragement really keeps me going. See you in the skies soon! — Paulo / NukGames ✈️
