Sky Homestead is a cozy farming and automation game set on a chain of floating islands.
Three hundred years ago the Skychain shattered. The bridges fell, the beacons went dark, and the islands drifted apart. Someone has left you a letter, a rickety cottage on the last lit isle, and a very old to-do list.
Farm the floating fields
Till, plant, water, harvest. Fifteen crops, from honest pumpkins to crystalbuds that only grow where the Hum runs strong — the current of crystal energy that once held the Skychain together.
Automate the cozy way
Chop the wood yourself, or build a line that does it while you're somewhere else. Over 35 machines — furnaces, crafters, smelteries, mills — chain into production lines, fed by haulers and powered by the Hum. Start with one furnace. End with an island that runs itself.
A crew with names
Pip the Lumberjack. Tansy the Farmer. Hire helpers who arrive with their own tools, pay them in gold and hot meals, and watch them walk home to their cottages at dusk. They keep working whether you're watching or not.
Rebuild the Skychain
Multiple hand-built islands, each holding ruins that remember what they were. Fund the Restoration Board, watch bridges rebuild themselves plank by plank, and meet the villagers who come home when the lights come back on. Over 100 objectives across roughly 30 hours.
Sail the sky
Chart routes for cargo balloons hauling bulk freight between islands, and send nimble drones point-to-point. A frozen crest, a witchwood, a volcanic forge-isle — each with its own economy to wake up.
Delve when you dare
Beneath the oldest island lies the Deep Barrow: procedurally generated, unlit, and full of things that were left down there for a reason. Bring a sword, bring a lantern, come home with soul crystals. Or don't go at all — the farm doesn't mind.
A note from the one-person crew
Sky Homestead is made by a single developer. Everything you see here — screenshots, trailer, all of it — is the game as it stands today, and it will keep getting better right up to launch and beyond. If these little islands speak to you, a wishlist genuinely moves the needle for a solo project.
