Life under the rule of the winged Skyborn race isn't so bad for Claret Spencer, the star mechanic of an independent repair shop. She can patch up just about anything...but when a certain cravat-wearing customer turns her life upside-down, she finds herself pulled into an epic, city-wide conflict that's going to take a lot more than elbow grease to fix! Join Claret on her journey through a tale of magic, metal and mystery as she unravels the secrets of the Skyborn!
Summary
Skyborn is a story-driven, character-driven steampunk game. Magic meets metal in this world, powered by coal, steam, and technology, with a backdrop of magic and myth. Steampunk is a setting with its roots in 19th century England, in the industrial and Victorian era, all adapted for modern times and used as its own fairly new genre of games, movies, and especially... outfits. Skyborn takes you into a fantastical journey, from gritty, industrial cityscapes, to beautiful ancient ruins, and even into a realm of pure magic.
Features
-The focus of the game is a mostly light-hearted adventure. The character interactions, atmosphere, and story serve as the engine for the experience.
-Full-sized busts used in character dialogues. Full array of expressions as well, really brings the exposition to life.
-Mouse and menu bar. Thanks to the masterful work of rpgmakervx.net's Mithran, the mouse is leaps and bounds ahead of any previous iteration. It has easy navigation, easy clicking, and is fully capable of navigating through the menus intuitively and quickly.
-Threat, tanking, and CT systems make for a more tactical, streamlined combat system.
-No random battles. All encounters, other than scripted sequences, are visible on the map, and for the most part, easy to avoid.
-Exploration nodes! You can level up adequately, simply by collecting exploration nodes. They will grant xp/levels and can be found in the nooks and crannies of the world.
-Mining, crafting, and augmenting. Mine ore, take it to a forge. Turn it into a piece of armor. Then, take that armor and further customize and enhance it with a magical augment. Augments can be overridden without losing the piece of equipment, but it destroys the augment item itself.
-Battle retry. No automatic game over upon losing. Hard to lose anyway, without setting it on "hard" difficulty, the setting tailored for veteran RPG players.

CloseHello, I've seen the summary and comments of this game, and it looks fun to play.
But, is this free or I need to pay it?

This game rocks I played it on steam i got a free code for skyborn on facebook and i redeemed it loved it hope to see more rpgs like this
This is an awesome game. I've played through three times now. I even tried Deadly Sin 2 and loved it.
I also would like to see a sequel to Skyborn.
This company is awesome. Even better than Aldorlea.

Random thoughts may include spoilers
only 4 save slots :O but where are the saves?
cant rest in bed to restore health!?
games beautiful. i cant believe some people said this was anyless then great (so far anyway)
sucks you cant get back on your ship to sleep or something...surely theres beds on it!
i really hate when you have to break a piece of gear or a upgrade to keep using one or the other...
they did this bs in RER2 raid mode :/ hopefully at least you can earn as much money as you want and free travel to any location.
the red phantom! :D
betrayed...guh i knew i should not of trusted scum that would use marriage as a excuse to give her something...
i SWEAR ill be extremely pissed if we don't take that fuckers life during this game! i DON'T CARE what his reason for it was...
im surprised they let you keep your weapons in jail
red phantom went ahead of you with the other prisoners so why are there locked doors? it should of been done already!
tsk figured it was him,he saved me so its a + but i was in that situation because of him in the first place >.>
its a shame the store and inventory do not seprate items,weapons,armor and key items
guh...he betrayed me but... ... hes a great guy...damit i cant hate him! it bothers me tho that the objective is to "scope out"
the rebel base tho...i mean seriously...is she really remotely considering betraying these people? even after all she has seen and heard!?
should have a healing point in the rebel base
not only is there no healing spot int eh area but theres no store that sells potions and such!
the Arena challenges are extremely brutal. you have to have amazing planning ability to complete it. what each characters real is and such
Aldas back story was predictable from a mile away :3 before she started to tell her story i knew what was going to happen
i wish epic/one of a kind gear was unsellable :(
those apples...so much win......
:O WOW if you beat the arena champion...you become GOD!
Holy shit! the arena and gauntlet have nothing on Saehral! she must have 200k+ life!
Great ending! who was the old man though???
General
This game was quite refreshing,the more games on the engine i play the harder it is to find those gems which stick out in some way for me. and this is certainly one of them!
with a 10+ hour experience of good+ characters,custom art,customizable gear,exploration
you wont be disappointed!
the grammar and glitches are pretty much flawless!
Overall
i highly recommend this was a great game!

You have to redeem it via steam, then download it from there. It should then play just fine as long as you still have Steam on your computer.
Hey I am having some problems in the coal mine... There is a ledge inside a cave on the first floor that I cannot seem to reach.. I completed the dungeon and still could not find the access point any help would make this person very happy.

author=harmonicauthor=bigtimeSadly, both of us are under non-compete contracts in the game industry at the moment. :) Though that may change at some point.
Any chance on future Skyborns?
Ah ok then.

I'm glad to see this here, it's one of my favorites.
Personally, I liked how there wasn't a whole lot of lore exposition at the beginning. In such a character-driven story, I feel it was better to learn the basics of the small world Claret knows from the start rather than seeing more of the world beyond the scope of her experience.

Ah, it's commercial. I don't care then.
...Just kidding. I'm on the same boat (but out of RM), so cheers and good luck!

Lore is a tricky thing. We really wanted to avoid unneeded fluff and make a 10-hourish, "tight" experience, rather than a daunting, sprawling sandboxy thing.
That said, there is a lot more "lore" type content later on, and there certainly is a huge wealth of back story that I used to build the world itself. For instance, the city design itself is beholden to the world setting, the hierarchical nature of a society dominated by Skyborn, what they have planned, and how they prefer to structure their humans. In the Port District, you finally meet foreigners, who drop hints about other human kingdoms, even subtle homages to "historical" names and places from one of my other games, Deadly Sin 2, which takes place about 700 years before Skyborn in the same game world. I have like, world maps, timelines, etc.
Knowing what I know now, I probably would have done a standard edition / collector's edition type thing. The SE would be what Skyborn is now, the CE would include a lot of extra content and all that "fluff" that was left out.
That said, Skyborn is very much a done deal. :) It's been out since March, no reason to go back and polish it. No time or energy for that these days anyway.

I bought this a while back and played through. Nice game. I think I got it from aldorlea or something. Not sure.
