A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Have You Played Freedom Planet?
2019-12-20 07:30 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dave Irwin)
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I’ve spoken in depth before about Sonic mods, and yet I’ve not uttered a word about Freedom Planet. Originally conceived as a mod, it soon became its own game in much the same spirit as the classic Sonic games. In a time when the blue hedgehog was struggling, this was a ray of speedy sunshine.

State of bots & Siege
2019-07-05 22:43 UTC · Community Announcements · Mastfire Studios
https://i.imgur.com/r2rfGu0.png Quick clearing up: - Bots are not intended to replace players, but help maintain the ship while a server seeds - The initial bot patch was just a starting point, not final at all - We were aware they were OP and got in the way, leaving little for anyone to do - Bots will be able to be fully disabled once they are balanced. Currently they can be disabled with useBots=0 and having a password set. June 30th - Hotfix to bot LOD/animation syncing July 2 - Bots now have random skill that affects responsiveness and cannon ability - Bots no longer move at incorrect spee
3.87 - Crew Bots
2019-06-29 20:09 UTC · Community Announcements · Mastfire Studios
3.87 - Bots https://i.imgur.com/0TraNI3.jpg Bots fighting eachother In an effort to resolve the frustration and boredom brought on by attempting to crew a nearly empty ship (often causing servers to die), we have added bots. This will help ensure there is an adequate amount of action taking place in Blackwake at any time. Here is what bots currently do: - Load cannons - Fire cannons - Use the pump - Repair holes when the ship reaches a certain level of damage - Die/respawn They are meant to supplement playercounts while a server grows, not replace players. Bots currently do not: - Captain - Pa
Crew Bots - Coming Soon
2019-06-27 02:28 UTC · Community Announcements · Mastfire Studios
Blackwake has long since leaned on a heavy player requirement to feel the action that the game is supposed to give you with a full crew. This design did not come without consequences, though. By requiring so many players per faction it started to become clear how torturous it was to simply man an under crewed ship while waiting for players to join. Working closely with our testing community on the discord we've been implementing bots. We were trying to beat the sale, but rest assured they will be coming very soon. Gone will be the days of 3 players trying to run a galleon - a scenario so frust
