The Plan: what to do next in Skydex, and what it pays
Skydex has a lot in it now: catching, the radar, airport and city visits, mayors and captains, bridges, races, PIP, moments, the radio, the shop. Until today you found most of it by accident. Good games don't leave you wondering what to do next, so we added a Plan.
Where it is. A small map icon sits at the top of the screen, next to the bell, in the game and, once you are signed in, on the site pages. A thin ring around it fills as you work through your current chapter, and a number appears when you finish something new.
What's inside. At the top, your rank and how much XP is left until the next one. Then Next up: the three steps closest to you, each with its reward and a Go button that opens the map, the radar, the races or the page where the step is done. Below that come the chapters, starting with First flight and, for new accounts, the first week. Every chapter lists its steps, ticks the ones you have done and says what the whole chapter pays. At the bottom there is a short list of everything in the game, one line each, for when you just want to look around.
Three new chapters. Places sends you to three airports, three cities, a new region and under a bridge, then asks you to become an airport captain, a city mayor and a region governor. PIP walks your companion from a warm egg to a name and on to the Scout and Radio stages. Style covers the shop, the gull's wardrobe, drone tuning, your name and profile, and wearing a title. Each step pays 20 Feathers, and a finished chapter pays a Trident and a title: Explorer, Mentor or Stylist.
Steps count from day one. Chapters used to wait until your account was two weeks old. Now everything you already did counts the moment you open the Plan, and anything still unpaid is paid then.
Guests see it too. Without an account the Plan shows the same chapters. Steps that need an account carry a lock, and the Feathers for the steps you finished wait for you until you sign in.
Open skydex.online and press the map icon. Earlier today: visits, PIP and where the action is and fly without an account and still earn everything.
