Child.0 asked for a few hours of Aloft. We moved their home island by having me create a giant flat island, move all the stuff off child's, despawn child's, spawn child's new one, and then move everything over.

Along the way, we consolidated so many containers and chests.

I considered the same, but then just paved over my entire island in rocks and created a giant flat square to build on... until I ran out of wood and stone again. You know, a thousand of each doesn't last nearly as long as it needs to when I'm mass building.

I think I may have finished the main part of Aloft. I mean, out of what has been released so far. It was cool. I don't want to put spoilers without a CW so I'll just say it was something I enjoyed. But I'm pretty sure, based on the difficulty, that this is just a first stage kind of thing. I think there will probably be harder challenges as the game develops further.

My son was here when I got to the point where I was ready to conquer the last thing, and he really enjoyed seeing me win. He's very much into video games and I think he likes it that I am too. I always listen and indicate I'm following along when he talks about Fortnite.

I will say about Aloft: I enjoyed it more when I got to middle/late gameplay. I felt like I had a better idea of how much stuff I would need and how easy/difficult it would be to collect it.

That's something I always struggle with in survival/crafting games - how much of each resource will I need? Is it worth hoarding a ton of Resource A, or will it continue to be abundant? And will I still need it for later gameplay or will its relevance decrease?

We all know that figuring out how much you need and where you're going to store it is key for these danged games.

If you're thinking of playing it, here are my non-spoilery tips:

1. Pick an island that is not teeny tiny. It is the size of the base island, NOT the size of your final build on that island, that will determine how many animals you can have with you. If you choose a small island, you'll either have to trade up later, or be satisfied with very few critters.

2. Pick an island where you can grow at least one tree. Really it would be best to have room for several.

3. Pick an island with water on it.

Kudos to the developers, who did a great job. I mean, it's in early access, so you're still going to clip through stuff and have to unstick yourself, and there may be things that don't quite work (if your bird lays an egg too close to a crafting station, just give it up because you're not collecting that egg). But overall, it worked as expected and I mostly enjoyed it.

I've mentioned before that I really like the soundtrack. I was listening to it at work today, actually. I love the chords the composer used.

I do think they need to work a little bit on what recipes you find at which point, and link them more closely with whether you even have a chance of making those recipes. As an example that does NOT appear in the game (but to illustrate my point), imagine getting several recipes that need a crochet hook, but you can't get the crochet hook until a LOT later in the game. And the game doesn't TELL you that, so you keep finding recipes that require a crochet hook, you begin to think maybe you've missed a crochet hook somewhere along the way. It's like that.

But overall, I would say if you like crafting/survival games, this one is worth trying.

Here's the music I was talking about earlier - what you'll see in this clip is me playing Aloft. I have to attack the central fruiting body of the fungi to defeat it and rid the island of its corruption. The musical piece that I like starts when the "bad guy" turns red. In retrospect, I should have panned around so you could see how the dark/infected island 'greens up' and looks healthy again (and it might have helped to not have this fight at night, because it is pretty dark, sorry). I was concentrating more on not making extra noise and messing up the music than showing off the game-play.

I've been playing Aloft more lately. I had played the demo and I went ahead and got it when they did the early release. So far it's very similar to the demo, which I like. If it was too different, it would not feel familiar enough and I would like it less (at least, at first).

I noticed last night that they had released DLC, and that it included the soundtrack. There are several cues that are good, but one in particular really grabs me every time I hear it. It gives me the same feeling of seeing something that is almost too bright and beautiful to look at.

So I snagged that DLC right away. It also came with some art and more information about the world they built, which is cool.

The way they released this, it doesn't show in Steam as a soundtrack. I had to go dig around in my PC to find the music. But okay.

Then I went through every track (and there are a fair few! It's divided into 3 albums) and found that the cue I wanted isn't there. I mean, it is, but it's hidden under another layer of sound that ruins it for me. I can barely hear the chord progression that I'm so in love with.

I'm halfway tempted to record myself playing just so I can get it the way it sounds in the game. I had hoped there would be an expanded version of the too-short clip in the game, but if that's really all I can get, it's better than nothing.

Meanwhile, I commented on my purchase about my disappointment, and they said they would reach out to the composer about getting more of that piece in the soundtrack. I think that was extremely kind of them and it would be so cool if he would do that.

So, go play Aloft. They are decent people. It's a game I enjoy. If you liked Raft, this might be up your alley.
