Windblown FAQ

[Night]

Hi all, and welcome to the Windblown FAQ channel!

In here we want to list and answer some of the questions you might have regarding the Windblown.

Q. How long will Early Access last?
A. We have no set timeframe on Early Access, so in short it will take as long as it takes. However, we have a lot planned for the game, and a big chunk of what get's worked on will come from you, the players. We expect to be in Early Access for at least a year, but we'll check in regularly to keep everyone up to date.

Q. Will I need an internet connection to play?
A. Nope! You can play Windblown offline and in single-player. If you want to play with others though, you'll need to be online and use our in-game server browser to create/join games!

Q. Are there Cloud Saves?
A. Yes! Windblown DOESN'T use Steams Cloud Saves, but instead we use our own version. As long as you login to another device with the same account, you should be able to continue your runs with the same account/progress. (You can check which account you're on via the in-game menu).

Q. Is the game Multiplayer?
A. Yes! The Windblown is multiplayer for 1-3 players while online.

Q. Split Screen Co-op?
A. Sadly not at this time - if things change we'll be sure to let everyone know.

Q. How do I access Multiplayer?
A.

• Ensure you're on the most up to date version of the game (and the same as other players)
  
• Start the game and progress until you encounter a bird-like character called Pietro just before the end miniboss in this first biome (He will only appear from your second run onwards).
  
• After returning to The Ark (which happens automatically after dying within a run, intentionally or not...), Pietro will unlock multiplayer for you when you speak to them.​
  
• You can create or join a public room for multiplayer with Pietro or enter a code to join a private room already started by a friend.

Q. Is the build Steam Deck compatible?
A. It sure is! Windblown is now VERIFIED on the Steam Deck! ^^

Q. If I buy the OST, will I get more songs as they're added?
A. Yep!

Q. How long does it take to finish a run?
A. Depending on your skill level, and the builds you choose, a run can take anywhere from 20-40 mins. This is totally subjective though, as it's really dependant on how you want to play.

Q. Is there a soundtrack I can buy?
A. There sure is! You can purchase the Windblown Original Soundtrack via our Steam Page.

Q. Where else can I find Windblown content?

Discord community manager by the name of Night said that the guinea pig skin will be exclusive to those who played the demo and won't be available after launch.

PLEASE ADD a reconnect when the game crashes, it has happened 2 times for me and my friends on the last map =(

Does the game have matchmaking or just online capabilities?
I genuinely don't have many gamer friends and the ones I do have, just don't generally share the same tastes. So without matchmaking it's a no go for me so just curious if I can find randoms online or need to invite friends.

Can someone explain the online and offline function in regard to saves? Seems to me that you can't take your online save data offline but you can take your offline save data online?

Example i played online to start off and now if i select offline it starts the game again from the start. If i select online after that it asks me if i want to bring that offline save online.

I'm enjoying the game as well but there's no need to d-ride to the levels you are with this comment lol

Hi dev, please add an option to adjust the brightness & color in this game.
The low poly blursed enviroment + flashy shinny cel-shaded model effect hurting everyone eyes, especially when dashing continuously.

I know it's 3 player... but... could you add like a checkbox somewhere for 4 player even if it's not balanced? I just have a 4 player group so it's just kinda awkward when we all wanna play.

Is there an option to kick someone from your multiplayer game ?

Good afternoon developers, I liked the game despite early access, but I play on a keyboard and mouse, and it’s extremely inconvenient for me when a character hits in the direction he’s looking and completely ignores the mouse cursor, is it possible to somehow make the character attack in that direction? where the mouse cursor is pointing. Thank you
