Skyrates is a game design and development project exploring different types of gameplay and multiple platforms such as a Flash client, AIM, and a web forum.

In Skyrates, we are experimenting with sporadic play. A good way to think of your interaction with the game is much like checking your email. A few minutes here and there, spread throughout your entire day.

Skyrates isn't just you, though. It's a multiplayer online game that has you taking on the role of an ace pilot trying to conquer the skies. Whether you are a peaceful trader, a careful diplomat, or a bold fighter, the sky's the limit!
