Cloudwright

Build drills, conveyors and kilns on a floating island. Cloudwright’s demo ends at your first balloon; the full game is planned for Q1 2027.

You salvage a crashed airship and turn a floating island into a factory. Cloudwright starts with drills, conveyors and kilns: gather the materials, connect the production steps and build what you need to get back into the air.

You can dismantle a machine and get all its materials back, so changing a layout doesn't mean losing the resources you put into it. The Steam demo also supports online co-op for up to eight players.

Where the demo stops

The demo takes you from the crash to the first balloon on your home island. After that first liftoff and the demo ending, you can keep building the factory. Exploring other islands belongs to the full game; it isn't part of this demo.

Demo saves carry over to the full game. If you want to spend more time rearranging the factory after reaching the ending, that work won't require a fresh start when the full version arrives.

Full release and platforms

Slade is developing and publishing Cloudwright for Windows and macOS. The full release is planned for Q1 2027, with no specific day announced. The free demo is already available on Steam.
