Wired Productions agreed to publish the game in early 2019. While Sala made the game on his own, Benedict Nichols served as the game's composer. Procedural and generative visuals are said to have been essential for Tomas Sala to be able to develop the game largely by himself. Examples range from the ocean and cloud effects to the NPC portraits which are generated off random seeds. This means that instead of using image files to give 3D models material properties and depth, everything in The Falconeer from the user interfaces to the 3D world and characters utilize techniques that replace textures with math based generated colors and definitions. The Falconeer features a highly technical art style that does away with the accepted practice of using textures. The prototype soon became the foundation for The Falconeer. Using the assets and the codes of Oberon's Court, Sala quickly built a prototype for a new game, inspired by aerial combat games he used to enjoy during his childhood, such as Star Wars: TIE Fighter, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, Aces of the Pacific, Red Baron, and Crimson Skies. Commenting on its cancellation, Sala added that "I couldn't finish it, because it was too dark, it was too confronting". However, it was cancelled because the game was deemed too dark. He started working on a title named Oberon's Court in 2013. He worked on a mod for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim named Moonpath to Elsweyr as a side project, though the mod received positive reactions from the community, which encouraged him to commence work on an original project. Sala co-founded a work-for-hire studio in Amsterdam, Netherlands named Little Chicken Game Company before he embarked on a solo career. The Falconeer is the debut title for solo developer Tomas Sala. In different chapters, which can be completed in any order, the player will control pilots from different factions and command a new warbird. The player can also acquire mutagens that can be used to improve the Warbird's basic attributes such as agility and health. As players progress in the game, they can purchase new weapons. In addition to completing the narrative campaign, the player can freely explore the open world and finish different side missions such as completing bounties and delivering items. Players need to manage the warbird's stamina while performing various moves and maneuvers. In the game, the player needs to shoot down rival enemies while dodging hostile attacks. Set in a nautical /scifi backdrop named the Great Ursee, The Falconeer is a third-person arcade flight video game in which the player assumes control of a pilot commandeering a massive warbird.
