So this hack has been out for a few months but I've been putting off on posting it here for a while. But now that I've finished 1.1 with a slew of new features, I decided it was finally time!
The goal of Explorers of Fortune was to add extra content and quality of life to Explorers of Sky as possible, while keeping the original's difficulty level and spirit! Sky was always a comfort game for me, so I didn't gel with similar hacks that focused more on difficulty. Thus I set out to create my own take on an expanded Sky, and I ended up very pleasantly surprised with the result! So without further ado...
