The new screenshots, which can be found below, provide a new look at the game's traversal and exploration mechanics while providing an update on how work has progressed. Inspired by Bossa Games' World Adrift, the game will incorporate many features from the older title while improving them at the same time. Additionally, players will be able to reach anything they see on the map solo or by cooperating with friends. The Island Creator tool will also allow players to build their own floating islands and upload them.
