FarSky
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
With FarSky, you take the role of Nathan who got lost in the Ocean after the crash of his submarine. You need to learn how to survive in the depths of the Ocean.
- Use the environment to gather resources
- Build a base to refill your oxygen and manage your items
- Craft equipment and weapons to explore and protect yourself in the Ocean depths
- Create an in-base farm or go fish hunting to feed yourself
Your ultimate goal is to find all the pieces of your submarine, fix it and reach the surface. You can also choose to play in Sandbox mode to enjoy the game freely.
All maps are randomly generated to immerse you in an unknown world.

To the developer: I wanna bring this to your attention: https://znemux.itch.io/farsky-portable-unofficial
Could you have a look over and say what you think of this?
never had the money to get it. glad i can finally play it now.
Dear Farsky Interactive,
I sincerely want to personally thank you for this game.
In my young years when I played this project I was amazed by shear scale of this game and concept, I was hooked since the first release. It sincerely saddens me of the tale of what happened to you and the whole company.
However, the hope that proves here how everyone LOVES your work, and all the unique gems you made proves that despite everything that has happened, you DID something that brought us joy.
You never had to make the next biggest thing, you simply needed to exist, and that was enough to bring us happiness knowing YOU existed.
Thank you, I do hope that someone out there will be inspired enough to make the NEXT Farsky game :)
Also to add, the fact the game was made entirely in Java Script is on a whole different scale of impressive. Truly you should sticked with Java, I would loved to one day imagine what would happened, if Farsky had more content, or a remake/sequel.
I remember seeing FarSky on steam years ago but i couldnt buy it at the time, couldnt find it lately after the delisting but seeing the whole game being released again made me smile and cannot wait to start playing again.
If you ever leave the possibility of giving you money by purchasing it, i will when i get the next paycheck!
In April 2022, the game will be removed from the Steam store. Anyone who already bought the game will still be able to play it. The same will apply for all the games of the Farsky Interactive company. Making our games was an intense journey. We made them all with care and passion. We thank everyone who enjoyed our games, and hope we brought some hapinness, emotion and fun to most of you.
I love this game. I'm glad it's still in circulation.
I'm excited to see this game here! Back when it came out I bought it on steam, but I wanted to share it with people, which wasn't possible until I found this reupload. Thank you!
I read your post on steam back in 2022 and reread it just now. It's one of the stories that left the most impression on me in regards to game development and I think it is what keeps me grounded.
When I was a child I already made little games in physical and mostly in flash, but I never thought I could turn it into a career. Even now at the age of 31 I'm thinking about doing it and I'm actively programming games I want to play at the moment with some progress. However I don't want to do it to grow big and make money, because it involved market research, marketing, all the legal and economic part of founding a company and so on, which would probably kill my passion, too.
Making games to me is like a form of art and it's something that I want to keep as a hobby I think.
If I ever make it big, which I doubt, I'll definitely list your work as an inspiration :)
I'm very happy you posted the games again, however I really think you should post sky break as well, it might not the best, and it had drama around it but still, I think it should be preserved, it shows how much you have grown as a developer since then.
I would be be very grateful if you would post it
and I hope you are doing well :)
Wonderful game,
Something that might help with resolution issues, is to make sure your Windows display scale is set to 100%.
Windows Settings > System > Display > Scale and Layout
As this messes with the game especially on a 4K TV with 300% scale set.
I own it on Steam but I imagine it is still an issue here.
Lovely game. I have it on Steam. :)
Este juego es hermoso, bellisimo, tantos años de que salió...
Aun espero una actualización más plis XD no lo dejen morir
Pueden añadir más materiales más mundo abierto osea más biomas marinos más enemigos más cosas que hagan que el juego sea más grande y hermoso, es bellisimo, y se gana mis respetos siempre, tal vez nuevos biomas enemigos armas y más piensen en eso y si algún día lo actualizan espero novedades de las gods como su juego hermoso
ITS BEEN 10 YEAR I WAS 7 WHEN THIS GAME OUT NOW IM 17 AND IM STILL IN LOVE WHIT THIS GAME !!
Hope everyone is doing well. Beautiful Game. I am asking the creators if they can add Resolution Screen Output Options, and to mention a True Creative SANDBOX Mode means everything is available now, no limit, no need to gather resources, and possibly a GOD Mode, or not need for food, air, battery recharge, etc. If those options can be added, either ON, of OFF, to customize the Creative Sandbox Mode, that would be an improvement. For Game Mode, Challenge Mode for certain Conditions, with Good Time Limit, or no Time Limit, with Good Starting Funds, that will be great to find Challenges. Lastly, if the Audio, Music Soundtrack could play in basic STEREO instead of Monoraul, not really necessary, but would add to the wow experience. GREAT PROGRAM AWESOME IDEA, AND this game will make people play for a long time.

This game will no longer update
Is there any way to change the resolution? I can only see Load Game and Options on the main menu with everything else cut off and trying to look through the game's directory, I can't seem to find any sort of config file.
Game saves and config are on AppData (windows), but the config file can’t be opened by a text editor
I played this game long time ago, but damn it's on itch.io now??? I can have hopes this game will get bigger and longer?
It’s not updating anymore, see this
if you do see this tim
i want you to know that I absolutely love this game, I wish so much that we could have gotten a sequel, however, if I am able to get a team I may be up to the idea of making one myself
I hope where ever you are you are doing alright
I'm down for helping with the writing and world design
sure, got anywhere we can talk?
Sure, pick one on my linktree https://linktr.ee/Jamestdg
Any progress on this idea? Really interested to know :)
Sadly, @bipolit never got back to me on this
Hi, i downloaded this game booted it up and almost immediately it shuts off. Any solutions??
I have java BTW
Totally agreeing
It could be that you don’t have a sound driver/device, it also happened to me
It could be that you don’t have a sound driver working, it also happened to me
Press windows button then type cmd and press enter.
Then cd to the FarSky folder and run:
java -Djava.library.path=native\windows -classpath "farsky.jar;lib\jogg-0.0.7.jar;lib\jorbis-0.0.15.jar;lib\lwjgl.jar;lib\lwjgl_util.jar;lib\slick-util.jar" game.Main
Should work on mac/linux too but you have to replace the native path and \ with /... To the creator: you can make a .jar that contains all assets and works on all platforms without problems in like 5 minutes also please add ARM?
works
One of my favourite Games. Thank you very much.
Played it back in 2014, cool game
Oh ye mighty farsky dev, please grant we the community some manner of mod support *humble bow*
Makes game about the ocean
Calls it "FarSKY"
Well, the sky is far away until you can build the tech to reach it.
Indeed, I wanted the player to have the goal in mind (having "Sky" in the title makes it clear for me), and I did not want to have a name directly water related as many games with an underwater parts were "heavy" and not fun to play. (for instance, that is why you are walking and not swimming in farsky).
i thought the title made sense once i got in-game, and is quite clever!
Made another video
It is me or it seem like Planet crafter and subnautica?
Please tell me it's not scary, I really want to play!
It’s only a little scary, and it was also released well before Subnautica. If you want to know the story behind it you can read it here.
Thank you! I already finish, heh, adventure mode at least, got scared with those shark and fish with lights, more as how they approach and open their mouths :o
nothing wrong with the game, I meant, I love it, more the dynamic, similar to Planet Crafted and Subnautica, Love it all, crafting, the resources We collected, I got sad when I finish, But gladly! I can use the submarine and still playing, so It's not over at all, huh! :)
Made a video
This is the original game. It is now free. I do not plan to update it. As the company is now over, I felt bad not to share it to everyone.
So... enjoy ! =D
Thank you very much for releasing this for free. It will allow everyone to enjoy it and also let us share it with those who haven’t had the chance to experience it.
Do you think there’s a chance in the future you would release the source code? We would really love to create a community around modding it.
I gave some thoughts about going open source, but I am not ready for this yet, plus I don't want any issue with the musician (Lapse) who did the musics. So no, not open source..
Thanks for replying to me on this subject. I can understand your reasons behind it now. You could remove the music some time in the future when you’re ready to release it as it’s more about the legacy of the game than the music for us that are interested in keeping it alive.
hear me out, what if the open source version had the music taken out? It could be easily reintroduced once an agreement is made between you 2.
thankyou so much for keeping it available to us! and again i'm sorry about what happened with subnautica and everything :C
It's glad to see you 're back!!!
