    Clear Skies, Captain

    Original 
    Become a captain on a mighty airship. Manage your funds, select contracts, and take command in the field to win glory and wealth for you and your crew. As a note for prospective players, this game will be relatively mechanics-heavy, and is a mental exercise for me to regularly use hard mechanics...

I really like the futuristic art style and atmosphere, but what really fascinates me is the gameplay. You only control a single character in a 4v4 multiplayer match, but you have 20 seconds to...
